Decryption: Use raw material powder to directly copy the high imitation. The cost of 2 pounds of powdered cottage cheese is 60 yuan, and the cost of 5 pounds of powdered cottage cheese is150 yuan. Even if you buy it cheaper than domestically produced products, you can still make twice as much money. Please see: http://www.jirou.com/zhengjia/20110912/3970.html.

2: Can wpc raw material powder be eaten directly?

Decryption:No, this is illegal abroad. However, there are people who buy directly to consumers on Taobao. This is a very incredible situation, which shows that the relevant regulations are not perfect enough to restrict these behaviors.

3: Will long-term consumption of fake powder cause cancer?

​Decryption: Yes. This is not alarmist.

For example: industrial saccharin is added to fake products. Long-term use can cause bladder cancer. (Related information from Baidu Encyclopedia: http://baike.baidu.com/view/189.htm); Unqualified whey protein powder It contains Bacillus sakazakii, which can cause disease to newborns. In severe cases, it can cause necrotizing enterocolitis, sepsis, and meningitis. ; In addition, long-term consumption of fake products can easily lead to the occurrence of various strange diseases.

4: Can ordinary consumers tell the difference between authenticity and authenticity?

​Decryption: You can’t eat it because it’s high imitation goods and raw materials used by regular manufacturers. All come from industrially produced whey protein powder.

The difference between them is that high imitation products have low protein content and contain various harmful bacteria. Regular manufacturers, on the other hand, have high protein content, strict production standards, and no harmful bacteria.

5: How can I buy genuine protein powder?

​Decryption: 1. Direct mail from the United States (100% genuine). 2. Purchasing agent from Hong Kong (authenticity rate 90%). 3. Domestic brands (authenticity rate 95%). 4. Purchase foreign brands through reliable channels and credible merchants (authenticity rate 80%).

Explanation of the authenticity rate: The American one is 100% because the quality management in the United States is very strict. The purchasing agent in Hong Kong is 90% because some friends passedGo shopping online instead of buying in person. This allows unscrupulous businesses to take advantage of it. The domestic authenticity rate is 95%. Combit is a product of the national team and has a strong government background, so the risk of counterfeiting is very high. However, other domestic brands are not strong enough. So we use the 95% estimate here. The fourth point is that the authenticity rate of products purchased through friends’ recommendations or reliable companies is 80%. This is due to the "lust for profit" of individual businessmen. The possibility of selling 4 bottles and adulterating 1 bottle cannot be ruled out. Because there is no one to supervise it anyway, so you can do whatever you want. It is actually not difficult to create a decent phone security code.

6: Why do some companies claim to be the only agents of a certain brand in China?

Decryption: If it is not a capital-injected subsidiary of the brand, it will not be the only agent. Because the requirements for general agents of famous brands are very strict, they will not even release goods directly to Chinese companies. Some Chinese companies can only purchase goods from lower-level agents in the United States. Therefore, when you see a company that claims to be the only agency but sells protein powders covering almost all well-known brands, you should be wary.

7: Why does muscle.com recommend domestic brands to everyone?

Decryption:This is not just It is out of patriotic enthusiasm and also for the health and safety of users.
