SINCE the onset of Covid-19, Malaysians have been taking extra care of their health. In fact, this new collective awareness has propelled a steady demand for dietary supplements.

However, the higher cost of living has prompted consumers to cut back on added expenses, including dietary supplements. This situation opens doors for devious and illegal activities to take place in the market, especially through ecommerce websites where counterfeit supplements are sold at absurdly low prices.
