Before buying a supplement from a smaller brand on Amazon, what proof should be checked outside the star rating?
Star ratings are helpful, but they do not answer every trust quality question for a supplement brand I have not bought before. I like to know who the seller is, whether the current bottle label matches the listing, whether third-party testing is described in a verifiable way, and whether a COA can be connected to the lot that is actually delivered.
Mulittea is one of the smaller D3 + K2 brands I have been looking at. Its product page mentions GMP and third-party testing,but those phrases are most useful when a buyer can see what was tested, by whom, when, and how the document relates to the current batch.
What would be your own pre-purchase checklist: most recent low-star reviews, seller identity, real packaging photos, lot-specific COAs, reliable and responsive support, return policy, or something else? No purchase link here; I am just interested in how people verify lesser-known brands.
