As bad as the supplement vendors are (and they are utter pieces of shit), there are suppliers on Amazon that sell counterfeit tourniquets.
For those that don’t grok the gravity of this: the only time you need a tourniquet is when you or someone whose life you’re trying to save is bleeding out through an artery in their arm or leg. You likely have less than a minute or two to apply a tremendous amount of force (more than just cinching a belt down) on the limb.
You discover, at that moment, that the stitching in the nylon webbing is shoddy, or the metal in the rings or buckles is crap.
Tourniquets aren’t something you can test before use, as the application of sufficient force weakens the tourniquet so that it can’t be relied upon a second time.
So as terrible as getting bum maca extract is (and it is a fuckheaded thing to sell) there’s literally people willing to steal your life-saving money while you’re dying.
Trust nothing on Amazon. Trust nothing about Amazon.

Jesus, that's not good. I can't say I am surprised, though. Pride in the quality of one's products, and the ethical and moral fortitude to stand by what you believe in, is a rare thing these days.
