In case anyone missed this April news… Counterfeit Supplement/Vitamins Sold on Amazon Impersonating Prominent Brands (NOW) NOW added that the product contains small white capsules with an odorless white powder, which NOW analyzed and confirmed that the substance is white rice flour. In addition, NOW found trace amounts of the pharmaceutical Sildenafil in some samples. The counterfeit supplements were carefully designed to mimic the look of authentic NOW products, but closer inspection reveals them to be knock-offs. NOW outlined some of the packaging difference: • The bottle is not the exact same bottle NOW uses; the neck is different. • The fraudulent product lids are childproof, and not purple. • Each label does not contain any UPC number. • There is no lot number or any imprint on the bottom of the bottles. • The labels are squared on the edges, and not rounded. • The NOW logo on the front is slightly elongated, as is the main product name. • The labels can peel off and are not permanent, and are slightly more shiny. In addition, NOW reported, some of the items were listed on Amazon as tablets or softgels. What consumers actually received, though, were small white #1 capsules. https://www.wholefoodsmagazine.com/articles/16086-fraudulent-products-sold-on-amazon-impersonating-prominent-brands
