Yeah yeah yeah....you think you are saving money and getting a deal right? Instead of coming to us or another health professional and getting ripped off by paying "full price" you buy your supplements on Amazon or another global "marketplace" and you think you are getting MY products but you are NOT. Counterfeit supplements are a huge business according to the manufacturers and the FDA. One manufacturing source I spoke to yesterday said: "We have actually had to hire a firm whose only responsibility is to police the bootleg sale of our products on the internet. We only sell to licensed health care professionals and they must uphold strict agreements as to distribution and pricing. We do our best but cannot prevent unethical counterfeit and potentially dangerous product from being sold out there."
She continued: " All of our customers must present a valid medical license to purchase product and to distribute our products. Again, she maintained: unfortunately we cannot prevent the resale of misrepresented FAKE, stolen or discarded goods or the sale of counterfeit product. "
I have confirmed that this is the case with each excellent brand that we distribute. Each manufacturer has been forced to hire a team to manage and conviscate counterfeit and bootleg products but it is a losing battle for the most part.
With my own clients it has become clear that when they buy product on their own their program mysteriously stops working....hmmmm must be the quality.
Why is this happening?
Counterfeiting anything is a huge global business scam. The supplement industry has grown exponentially in the past twenty years and is a legitimite area of consumer demand.
Anyone with a scanner can counterfeit and mass market supplements.
Damaged, discarded stock is often pirated and resold to greedy consumers looking for a "deal".
US consumers have an inflated sense of entitlement and therefore believe that they are somehow deserving of pricing that is "too good to be true."
In fact, they are buying scam counterfeit "product" at prices that I could not obtain even if I bought an entire pallet directly from the manufacturer.
Regulatory agencies do not regulate. According to reps at the FDA and FTC the global market is pretty much the "wild west" and very little is being done due to the shear amount of counterfeit goods appearing daily.
Counterfeiters profit by feeding on an all too prevalent sense of entitlement in our culture. You are lured by the promise of an unbelievable bargain when in reality you are being manipulated into getting a counterfeit product, a discarded, perished or damaged product or one that is not safe to consume.
