Millions of fake pills from China, some with no active ingredients and others with the wrong contents, have been uncovered and confiscated by customs officers in France.

“Drug research in China has fallen under a cloud since 2006 because 13 of the top 20 global drug makers have set up research and development centers in China. Yes, it’s cheaper to do research there, but, as one auditor said, ‘with cheaper research comes greater risk,’” she wrote.

... There also are whole factories in China with up to 15,000 people employed for the purpose of counterfeiting products.

Internet source: "Not all bilberry supplements contain authentic bilberry. ... the availability of less expensive, non-authentic ingredients, particularly from China . . . ."

It appears that supplement makers that get their bilberry extract from Indena, S.p.A., Milan, Italy get real and standardized bilberry extract. As best I can figure.

If the bilberry extract comes from Red China who knows what the hell it is.

Good thing my meds come from India.......................

One of mine does as well. As I understand it, no completed prescription medications are legally imported from China, but the ingredients certainly are.
