You'll be checking how long the company has been a Lazada or Shopee member and reviews, also you can find manufactures.

I worked for Swanson Health Products 7 years and many of our supplements came from the Philippines even the coffee.

You are right the products are limited but the major manufactures in the US so have some supplies here for quick shipping.

Yes, many items come from China and many of the products herbs etc...I sold came from China also. I recently ordered a bottle of magnesium glycinate with vitamin D and K2.

 

Thanks for the reply MCA!

Did you order the Mag G and VitD through Lazada? Are you happy with the product? Any way you can let me know the seller/shop name on Lazada?

Many thanks
Mike

Very reasonable; it's free. Amazon too.

 

I order different supplements as an (example below) but also noticed the some Herbs have different names here so you'll pay less if you know, example Stinging Netting, it's not called that in the Philippines it goes by Alingatong.


Alingatong Root Extract or known as Stinging Netting Nettle in the West.
If you use western names it'll key up the items from the US and also much higher prices. You can also look up the company and it's location in the Philippines.

I don't trust it. Not only is there no oversight on the brand, there is also no oversight on the seller. We just don't know what is really in that capsule, especially if they are charging less than major supplies in the US which can get the lowest prices due to bulk wholesale discounts.

The price is similar here, AND the quality is guaranteed: https://ph.iherb.com/pr/swanson-albion-magnesium-glycinate-133-mg-90-vegan-capsules/116273

I agree Strich, had a look at the shoppee link and the capsules looked strange, I’m not familiar with MG looking oily. I checked out some customer reviews and there were some photos where everything a customer ordered looked exactly the same, mysterious yellow fluid capsule.
I’ve given it a miss and ordered from Iherb, free delivery although delivery times are up to 2 weeks but at least I’ve got peace of mind.

And you'll still probably get it faster than Lazada or Shopee, their delivery times have slowed to a crawl.

 

If you find someone with stock you will usually get them within two or three days but many are just resellers so have to wait for them to arrive at your seller first.
