Fake supplements?

[belva]

I'm wondering...does anyone ever hear about fake supplements?

I mean in this world one finds fake products everywhere from Luis Vuitton bags to Shoes, belts etc...it wouldn't be difficolt to get the same protein container from a supplier (several company have the use the same container), copy the label (which anyone can do with a scanner and good printer) and then outsource a company to produce an extremely cheap protein (I know for experience that there are many).
Finally, contact the seller and propose him an amazing deal.

I mean how do we really know that we are using the original product? I giess the only way is to try them. Do this fake supplement exist...Anyone experience using with fakes?

I'm sure it happens. But generally not worth it for someone to "Fake" a supplement as they're mostly not expensive anyway. If it does happen it's usually short lived and only during the initial "launch" stages when that particular product is hyped and popular.

That said, there are some poor quality products out there that are the result of cutting costs. You can almost always get a good deal. But if a supplement averages $50.00 and you find it for $7.99 - I'd question the quality. For example, if you go to dhea.com, you'll notice that they aren't cheap. You'll also notice that you won't find their products on amazon or any other website because it violates their terms and conditions with e-tailers. If I found their products cheaper elsewhere, I'd question it. But again, highly unlikely.
