So far out of 7 purchases from China , they all seem fine. luckily I get a weird side effect from tirzepatide of louder tinnitus so I can instantly tell it is the correct drug, and all the other seem to be doing what they are meant to.
On the other hand out of 3 different brands of PEA supplement I bought from amazon all 3 are dodgy, none of the pills weigh enough to have the listed dose of ingredients inside, though some are more obviously fraudulent than others - weighs 300 mg listed to have 1400mg
After doing a bit of research , as far as I can tell the vast majority of more recent fashionable supplements on amazon like Urolithin A , Melatonin, NMN or even fish oil are very questionable, based on pill size vs ingredients, packaging styling versus known dodgy brands, and price of the supplements versus the price of the ingredients in bulk from china, as well as a few published test reports like the ones from NOW. If the cheap ones are a quarter the price of the known good brands then they are almost certainly massively underdosed at best. And a few studies show deliberate contamination with active drugs in male supplements of viagra like compounds is very common, and of incorrect herbs as well.
It definitely feels weird that I can trust Chinese drug dealers to be more honest than one of America's largest companies
