How to spot fake, spurious, duplicate whey protein ??

Question

Guardian Pharmacy is selling ON (optimum nutrition) WHEY Protein for INR 7000 for 5 lb pack whereas in open market the same pack is available for INR 3100-3200.

Guardian people say others are selling fake whey protein.

Can somebody tell how to spot a fake pack of ON (Optimum Nutrition) Whey Protein Supplement ??

Answer 1

I would avoid Optimum or anything sold over-the-counter in the Philippines. . . and instead order from Nutrabio on eBay. If you buy a large enough quantity like 15 pounds, you will pay $16 per pound. Compare that to a 5 pound can of Optimum at 2,600 Pesos, which has you paying $12 a pound and wondering if it's fake. GNC will sell you a pound at SM Mall for $29 a pound. . . . it's not fake but $29 a pound is insane.

Answer 2

I think it is probably not a fake.
The best thing you could do is the see whether the pack is sealed or not..
You can order ON whey protein on ebay india...and can get it for about Rs 3700. I just got it some days back.

Answer 3

You can go for any gym and get the details about it as they know much about it
