I learned that a friend was (maybe still is) selling vitamins and probiotics through Amazon. I wasn't able to learn who was producing it only knew that it was made in US and most likey a neighbor.
He also was selling vitamin K, when asked my doctor about she said she would recommend not to take it, and the daily dose suggested is typically prescribed and usually taken one time.
That seriously made me cautious about it, literally anyone can start selling on Amazon and there is not easy way to figure out where things come from.
- scarface74 8y agoWell seeing that most experts think that taking vitamins and are worthless anyway, it wouldn't really matter if they were fake.... https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/news/20131216/experts-dont-waste-your-money-on-multivitamins https://www.webmd.com/vitamins-and-supplements/news/20131216... I'm not convinced that taking probiotics isn't junk science.
- astura 8y agoIt would matter if they contained unlisted ingredients that were allergens or worse, toxic. It would also matter to someone like me - I take vitamins because of measured vitamin deficiency that I wasn't able to correct with diet alone. If my vitamins did not contain vitamins I would start to have deficiency symptoms again.
- DrScump 8y agoCounterfeit vitamins and supplements are a big problem on Amazon as well. I bought Schiff COQ10 on Amazon and got fake product.
- DiabloD3 8y agoTo be fair, you could get real Schiff CoQ10 and still get fake and/or ineffective product. Schiff isn't a good brand, just a big one.
