Flakes in Tincture

This feels very trivial now that I am typing it out. But, I want to know if this is something to be concerned about.

I ordered Nutrimedix Burbur & Parsley tinctures through Amazon. This is my first time getting a straight burbur supplement. The Parsley looks fine. But, the burbur tincture has flakes that come right out of the dropper. The expiration date is 7/20. Maybe this is normal for burbur?

WBF - why wouldn't you trust it from Amazon?

They just get their products from the source.


Hoagie - I'm going to go check my Burbur and see. BRB

A lot of the preferred brands only sell to licensed medical professionals. I went to Nutramedix's website and see they do sell directly to consumers. Still when you buy on Amazon you usually are buying from third party vendors not directly from the manufacturer. On Amazon it lists the supplier as Johnson Distributors. I didn't see that name on the product label, so it could be a third party.

I know Thorne will only sell to licensed medical professionals, but I once ordered their NAC off Amazon because my doctor was out of it. There was something different about it, but I used it anyway out of desperation. There are unscrupulous people out there who will sell altered, expired, or bogus stuff packaged in bottles from legitimate products.

I would call Nutramedix and ask them about it before using it.

Hoagie - I think WBF is saying they have bogus products and repackage to look like the real manufacturer.

That's what I meant. I confuse even myself at times
