In the conditions of the modern market of biologically active additives (BAA), it is important to be able to distinguish original products from fakes. Fakes can be ineffective or even dangerous to health. Let's take a closer look at how to check the authenticity of BAAs.
1. Checking mandatory marking
Since October 1, 2023, mandatory labeling of dietary supplements using the Honest Sign system has been introduced in Russia. The presence of the DataMatrix code on the packaging confirms that the product is registered and has passed the necessary checks. To verify the authenticity of the product:
- Download the Honest Sign app : Available for various devices.
- Scan the DataMatrix code : Look for the app icon – a check mark on a yellow background.
Scanning the code will allow you to obtain information about the product and verify its authenticity.
2. Study the information on the label
The following information must be indicated on the label of dietary supplements:
- Product name : Indicates that it is a dietary supplement.
- Composition : All components and their dosages are listed.
- State Registration Certificate (SGR) : The certificate number confirms the legality and safety of the product.
- Shelf life and storage conditions : Information on shelf life and storage recommendations.
Information about the SGR can be checked on the official website of Rospotrebnadzor in the “Registers” section.
3. Barcode verification
Scanning a barcode with special applications can help determine the country of origin and manufacturer of the product. However, the results may not be accurate, so it is recommended to use this method in combination with others.
4. Inspection of packaging
A visual inspection of the packaging may reveal signs of counterfeiting:
- Print Quality : Blurry fonts or images may indicate a counterfeit.
- Features of the lid and bottom of the can : Original packaging may have specific notches or other differences.
Compare the packaging with the images on the manufacturer's official website to identify differences.
5. Checking through the manufacturer's official website
Visit the manufacturer's official website and compare the appearance of the packaging, information on the label, and other details. Official manufacturers usually provide detailed images and descriptions of their products.
6. Buy from trusted stores
Buy dietary supplements in official pharmacies or from authorized distributors. This reduces the risk of encountering counterfeit products.
