Thanks for posting this. I've never bought supplements through Amazon, so this makes me glad I didn't!

I thought about buying supplements on Amazon, but then I realized most if not all were from 3rd party sellers -- no way was I going to trust something coming from a random person somewhere. I remember a big thing not that long ago where Amazon 3rd party sellers were selling expensive hair care products, which was dicey, but with supplements, that's dicey. Who knows what would be being ingested with the fake products.

I actually emailed a company today...so I purchased a relatively expensive product through a 3rd party seller on amazon. Its a reishi complex immune booster. I contacted the maker of the product - gave them the name of the amazon 3rd party company and asked if they were a verified supplier.

They were (Phew!). So if you are willing to do some of the leg work, it might be worth it in the end to spend the time to verify products to save some $$$.

My herbalist recommends iherb and they have a WHOLE lot of brand name supplements for a very good price.

I always check and double check everything I put into my body. I"m the only one who will either benefit or pay for it!!

If anyone is looking for specific supplements or herbs, try asking here! It's done all the time and that way you are getting references for the brands too!

Back to the article - I echo Opugirl - very good advice!! Thank you sooverthis for posting this!!
