    Increase Of Fake Dietary Supplements In The Market

    Supplements are very good for the body, and that remains a fact. Many of the meals we eat nowadays lack the necessary nutrients the body needs, and there is this need to remain conscious of our diet in whatever way possible. This has led to widespread reliance on dietary supplements, especially since we have seen how well these have helped people in the past few years. 

    However, as the demand for supplements increases, it is also expected that there will be counterfeits in the market as people will always try to capitalize on everything, even if it can be injurious to the body. 

    It has been reported severally that these counterfeits are increasing in the market and are even being distributed by major suppliers. Be cautious: only a few stores allow you to get the original versions like iHerb. What is more, iHerb as one of the biggest players on the market offers not only reliable goods but also the best prices, especially when using an iHerb new customer code.

    Counterfeit Supplements In The Market

    The media reports show these supplements allegedly contain fillers made of other components and plants hidden from consumers as these components are usually not listed on the product label. By hiding ingredients used in making these supplements, using them can be very injurious as they could be substances that can leave users at serious risk or even result in harmful allergic responses. 

    Without being properly informed of the supplements’ components, users could take fake supplements to aid their diets, only to realize that they are reacting negatively to the drugs. This is why it is advised to use verified sites like iHerb. Reputable platforms offer the best quality and service such as delivery using an iHerb free shipping code https://yoursherbs.com/iherb-free-shipping/. 

    Dangers Of Using Fake Supplements

    The reason supplements are used in the first place is to enhance body performance and supply the body with needed nutrients. By using fake supplements, you will not only fail to achieve this purpose, but you might eventually find yourself with a risk that can be life-threatening. 

    In addition, the hidden components of these supplements could be anything, and if they were safe for the body, the manufacturers would never have hidden them. Hence, they could have almost any effect on your body, and you could experience a wide range of symptoms, from weight loss to loss of blood and even diarrhea. 

    If you are on a prescription, it is usually advised to seek out your medical doctor’s advice before taking new drugs to get a professional recommendation. This is because even drugs that can be good for you might contain components that can react with each other negatively and cause negative reactions. Using drugs with hidden components can be even more injurious when you are on other prescriptions, as they are probably not advisable for your health.

    Detecting Fake Dietary Supplements

    Detecting fake supplements from the original ones is usually the toughest part of the job. Many of these producers have done a very good job in packaging their products perfectly to hide defects from unsuspecting eyes. Furthermore, it is almost impossible to confirm the authenticity of a product as you have no access to product verification technology. However, you do not want to be suspicious of every new supplement out there or even old ones because you are unsure of its authenticity. Here are some factors you can base your judgments on:

    • A supplement is most probably fake if it claims to be an alternative to a drug approved by the FDA.
    • The claims on the supplement seem too good or too exaggerated to be true.
    • The odor is different from the ones you are used to and stronger. 
    • The packaging of some of these counterfeits is usually poor and not as standard as the original ones.
    • The promotion methods are suspicious. For example, the products are advertised only through personal means like email marketing.
    • There are no real consumer reviews about the products.
