Ordering Vitamins from Amazon

Mom2Dogs — Mon, 10 Aug 2026 20:27:58 GMT

I ordered Bausch and Lomb PreserVision from Amazon...now my husband is wondering how do I know it is a legit site and not counterfit vitamins.

Anyone know how to tell the difference betwen the real and the fake?\

thanks

I have been happy withmy vitamin purchases from them. Usually I stick with known brands.

Amazon has a reputation to maintain. They can't afford to do something like sell illicit drugs. I get drug items there all the time and it never even occurred to me. How do you know Walgreens can be trusted or your pharmacy?

I've been ordering vitamins for years from Amazon. Never had a problem. Always stick with brands I recognize.

We buy 90% of our supplements from Amazon, they are all brand names and we have yet to have an issues.

I order things from Amazon that I cannot get locally....including vitamins and never give it a thought....but my husband tends to be overly cautious. I told him the vitamins (for his eyes) would be just fine, which I am sure what I ordered is legit..

It is his mind working overtime and the fact that he is dealing with an eye bleed right now probably has his mind on overdrive.

@Mom2Dogs I feel as long as the bottles look just as the bottles you have purchased from the store and the safety seal is still intact they should be perfectly fine . If in doubt maybe call the companies customer service and they could tell you what to look for on the bottle to confirm it's the real thing.

Look at the seller. If it says something like, "Sold and shipped from Amazon," it's legit. If not, look at the reviews for the seller, and read the product reviews, too.

Nothing is 100% guaranteed authentic but purchasing from the brand's store on amazon, provided that there is one, can minimize the chances of buying counterfeit which is usually sold by third-part sellers.

I order supps from Amz and from ebay all the time, no problems, often you are ordering direct from the company.

This reminds me of my very first Q purchase in 1995, I had never even heard of Q before and while channel surfing a lovely gold chain was on the screen, I called the number on the screen and asked the rep, how do I know and trust this is real gold, she replied, we have been in biz 8 years now and what we say it is has to be or we could not still be in biz, I agreed and bought the chain.

DH and I have seen the stories about Amazon vitamins potentially being counterfeit. I have to agree that Amazon wouldn't intentionally risk their reputation. We have our supplements and many other items coming on Amazon subscriptions. When deciding what supplements to buy, I look for statements about third party testing, USA made, that the company's brand store is in the listing. I'll also ask on my search engine if XYZ company is reputable.

I also only buy supps made in USA, never China. Walmart's Spring Valley brand is often made in China.

It might be helpful to your husband to pose his concerns to his opthalmologist.

@Q-Checker ...His doctor is the one that suggested he use the vitamins...this is not a question for the doctor.

Some good points have been mentioned here about ordering vitamins and supplements from Amazon. But I still have that fear. I don't drive and I need to order and get deliveries most of the time, including things like toothpaste, eye drops, pepto, etc., I order from the CVS app, free delivery for orders over $35, and in my area they use UPS. Very convenient for me and no additional shipping costs.

That, and also the listing mentions Visit the PresserVision Store under the item name.
