    One is the store celebrations and membership days of national chain pharmacies such as Laobaibing and Dashenlin, and the other is the brand's official Tmall/JD flagship store, Douyin brand self-broadcast room's 618, Double 11 or brand anniversary celebrations. Every can I buy through these two channels has scanned the traceability code, and it is all genuine. The unit price can be 30%-40% cheaper than the daily price, which is much more stable than miscellaneous private channels.

    Some people may say that community group buying and WeChat merchants sell it cheaper. Can you buy two or three cans for 99 yuan? I advise you not to touch it. Last year, someone in the owner group of our community promoted the so-called "imported protein powder for the elderly directly supplied by the manufacturer." Aunt Zhang next door bought a set at a cheap price. After drinking it for half a month, she kept having diarrhea. Later, a friend from the Food and Drug Administration asked a friend from the Food and Drug Administration to test it. It was made from soybean powder mixed with essence, and the protein content was less than 8%. It was not even as nutritious as ordinary sugar-free soy milk, and she couldn't find anyone to return it.

    Some friends also feel that it is more secure to buy offline health product stores and maternal and child stores. I have also compared the same style and batch of a well-known brand of sugar-free high calcium elderly protein powder. The daily price of a can of health product stores is 298, and chain pharmacies will The member-day discount is 50% off and comes with a 300g can of portable packaging. The difference is almost double the price. After asking a friend who is a dealer, I found out that the goods are all shipped from the same warehouse. It is just that the rent and labor costs of the specialty store are high, and the premium is naturally high.

    If you don’t have time to participate in offline pharmacy activities, in addition to the official store promotions, you can also try the black label stores of Pinduoduo’s brands with tens of billions of subsidies. Last month, I just bought two cans of protein powder from a certain state-owned enterprise brand. I scanned the blue hat traceability code and it was authentic. It’s 22 yuan cheaper than Tmall’s big sale, but be sure to avoid private stores without labels. My colleague bought it from a private store in Pinduoduo for cheap. The printing on the can was blurry, and no traceability information could be found. I had to argue with the merchant for a week before I was able to get a refund.

    By the way, don’t just look at the price when choosing. No matter where you buy it, look through the ingredient list first. The first two should be whey protein or soy protein isolate. If the top two are maltodextrin and non-dairy creamer, don’t buy them home no matter how cheap they are. Drinking them will burden the metabolism of the elderly. If you choose a product with a blue hat logo, remember to read the nutritional label. The protein content must be at least 10g per 100g to meet the standard. Anything below this number is basically an IQ tax.

    I bought two cans of the sugar-free version last time I went to Da Shen Lin for membership day, and each can was only 112 yuan. My dad has been drinking it for almost three months, and the albumin level during his last physical examination was a few points higher. He said it was much more comfortable than the sweet, off-brand protein powder he drank before. Really, if you buy such imported products, you will suffer a big loss if you are greedy for small gains. Finding reliable channels to do activities will save you a lot of worry.
