South Korea excels with cosmetics and is the preferred vendor for things like glutathione

@Calm Logic sent me here, us based shipping:


It's too bad that domestic website doesn't have lyophilized/injectable gluta anymore. But some TG/GB groups have Korean gluta sometimes.

What's interesting is that if you go to the pfizer website, go to their authorized retailers, click on product specs, and go to the product label, guess where Hospira is made??? You guessed it! India!View attachment 26969
Yeah, I run into the “but Hospira is made here” justification all the time.

I was curious if she could get it and it is not advertised.
She was very responsive via email
 
You gotta be careful with oils from India. Lots of fakes....
I originally got oils from India. They increased my CRP quite a bit, I assume because of the carrier oil they use. I started using known MCT oil and my CRP dropped back to normal. I never could get info on what kind of carrier oil they use.
The few $ saved wasn't worth it to me.
 
Can I too get pointed in the South Korean direction?
 
How would you know the legitimacy of the product? At least with peptides we can send for testing, but medicines from India is a different beast altogether. And yes, it's dirty and shifty.
Thats not true for the leading pharma companies like Sun, Dr Reddys etc. Ideally ones which are operating in US and not black listed.

There are some shady businesses operating out of Gujarat which does a lot of counterfeiting and scamming. Hell they had put ethylene oxide and other items in curry masalas for exporting. A banned substance known to cause long term damage.

that might be true, I never suggested all the drugs were counterfeit, but how do you know? Someone can just be printing fake branded boxes, it's counterfeit after all. I've ordered things from India, but idk if it's legit. But of course there are legit sources there.

While there is always a risk, most of these generics are so damn cheap that it would cost way more to fake them.

Getting it from people who have proper import export license and company license etc is how you know that.

Also avoid things and traders from Gujarat or Punjab. Avoid traders from Gujarat like pestilence. There is a very high chance it is counterfeit or scam. Punjab less so but still could be. States like Maharashtra, Karnataka, Kerala, etc are usually Kosher. Based on my experience of doing business with entities in India.

I think it smacks of just a little bit of - Xenophobia - to be flatly saying to avoid this or that entire region because vendors from there essentially 'can't be trusted.' I have to say my hackles rose at the sense of entitlement to actually spread this kind of prejudice. Not good.
 
Contributors to this thread who have suggested not smearing the entire industry are being wise, IMO.

I was skeptical about both safety and authenticity of the Indian products. Then I got a big box of goodies and sorted through. When I got to the azithromycin I had to pause and run to the medicine cabinet. I grabbed my prescription “Z pack” and looked carefully, side by side with the “gray” product. Same label, same manufacturer, practically same batch, manufacture and expiration dates. lol.

You'd be wise to appreciate the warnings. Again, ~10% of the drugs from India are counterfeit. This doesn't mean 90% are bad. This isn't xenophobic. These are facts. Beyond that, you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes to figure out the cleanliness of India. "The kitchen isn't sterile" is the least of our worries. The burdening Indian society houses 1.4 billion people; it is unsustainable and utilities have failed. Waste management is low bar. Nobody is throwing rocks, it is well known that they cannot keep their own society in check.

Observing branded counterfeit products will not uncover a difference if they are counterfeit, that's what counterfeit is, a knockoff, a fake. You would need drug testing, which I seriously doubt anyone in here has done (not talking peptides).

And btw, I am wrong, it isn't 10%. Have a discussion with the AI ...

I’m not suggesting not to be cautious. We still operate on the fringe in the gray world.

Random observation - 75-95% “good” Indian pharma sure beats US marketed BAC, which was what - 25% “good?”
