@sns8778 thank you for the information, I must say.. I have lost the joy of buying supplements now and will probably only buy local brands which sucks.. I will miss out of many awesome supps.
I'm glad to help in any way that I can.
I'm sorry though if being honest with you has taken any of the joy out of supplements.
As for the comment about only buying local brands which sucks, I definitely wouldn't take that approach:
- I've seen a lot of quality issues related to brands based out of the UK/EU.
- A lot of the issues on the EU market with counterfeit supplements are where places over there are counterfeiting US versions.
We're really talking about two different issues here:
1) Counterfeit products - people presenting products as being by the brand when they aren't
2) Brands that put out BS products or lack of quality control.
The best way imo is to support and stay with brands that you trust and suppliers that you trust. And if you see products by retailer XYZ, you can always ask the brands if they really sell to them.
And if you ever have any questions about specific things, you're always welcome to pm me and I'll be glad to help you in any way I can.
