Is buying supplements on Lazada safe?

[save the frogs]

One thing I noticed looking at supplements on Lazada is a huge variation in price. 

 

So I'm guessing buying a Western name brand would be safe, and the big cost difference is due to both tariffs and better quality.

 

But can Western brand supplements be "tainted"? Can they tamper with the product? Or does Lazada have safeguards in place?

Buy from Iherb, safest place to buy supplements if you do not know how to be sure about brands and quality.

Lazada and safeguards in the same sentence?

 They wouldn't even give a damn if fake was written in big letters on the product

For now, we will see how long, 

 

Not many friends left as far I can see. A few left after me, and not come back

I go to a lot of trade shows in Thailand and see how easy it is to buy packaging equipment that can easily knock off any pill bottle and print any label.  And press any pill in any size, shape and color.

 

Make of that what you will.  Or walk down Sukhumvit and ask yourself if all those blue pills they're selling are real.  Realistically, there's no way that Lazada can stop that kind of thing.  (Not that I trust the brick and mortar shops in the malls, either).
