Your Health Deserves Honesty, Not Fake Promises | Truth by Trueforma

The supplement industry in India is booming—but beneath the surface lies a dangerous truth: nearly 50% of supplements sold in the market are fake.

That’s the focus of our latest podcast episode, “Truth by Trueforma,” hosted by Shruthika Mathur and IFBB Pro athlete Lovepreet Singh. In this hard-hitting discussion, they expose the prevalence of counterfeit supplements, the health risks they pose, and why Trueforma is on a mission to fight for transparency, authenticity, and consumer safety.

The Problem: Fake Supplements Flooding the Market

According to Lovepreet Singh, 1 in 2 supplements on shelves may be fake. This epidemic is fueled by:

●       Demand for cheap alternatives from budget-conscious students [00:15:08]

●       Psychological bias toward “foreign” brands marketed as “Made in USA” (many of which are actually manufactured in India)

●       Unregulated sellers who use fake labels and athlete endorsements to lure buyers

This isn’t just about money—it’s about people’s health and lives.

The Hidden Health Risks

Consuming counterfeit supplements is like playing with fire. The podcast highlights real risks, including:

●       Digestive problems like diarrhea, vomiting, and loose stools [00:05:43]

●       Long-term organ damage to the liver and kidneys [00:06:04]

●       Hormonal imbalances, infertility, and acne (especially in females) [00:11:37]

●       Sudden weight gain due to water retention (experienced by Lovepreet himself) [00:09:52]

These dangers make it clear: fake supplements aren’t just a waste of money—they’re a direct threat to your health.

Why People Trust Foreign Labels

A big reason fake products thrive is consumer psychology. Many still believe “Made in USA” means superior, even when those products are repackaged Indian goods with foreign athlete branding [00:26:38].

The result? Trust is misplaced, and fake sellers cash in.

How to Identify Genuine Supplements

With guest expert Tapan Singh (Trueforma Nutrition), the podcast breaks down what every consumer must demand before buying:

1. Certificate of Analysis (COA) [00:27:28]
   
   
2. Certificate of Country of Origin (COO) [00:27:36]
   
   

Even if these are faked, they can be verified with the official bodies mentioned on the certificates [00:27:54].

Knowledge is power—and asking for these documents is your first line of defense.
