Hi guys i recently got a new tub of optimum nutrition whey protein and i got the extreme milk chocolate flavour....just wanted to ask as when i got my tub,the label with the ingredients on it is pasted over with a sticker....this also happened when i got the chocolate mint flavour...so i was wondering if it was a fake?

Where did you buy it?

yeah Id also like to know where you bought it from. That doesnt make sense and why would they need to cover the ingredients.

I bought it from integral supplements....I live in Singapore so there's limited choices as to where I can get it...

I have the extreme chocolate from ON whey also.. Mine looks fine..

I think buying it in Singapore is most likely the problem. I'm sure some places ship over there but the costs are probably outrageous.

lol.. I'm used to people asking if their steroids are fake, this is the first fake protein question I've seen. best thing to do is email on and ask them what the problem might be.

alot of times the first label might be incorrect and so the easiest solution is to send out stickers to the places with the supps to cover the old, incorrect labels....could be something as simple as a ingredient change, or miss print.

I would look at both labels and try to spot the change.

Google search I just did mentioned singapore has a different labeling system and that's probably why it has the sticker over it, to comply or meet with their labeling practices.

There seems to be a regulation that if there are certain "health claims" for a product that it requires some special labeling.

Just like n the states ya can't claim it to be "heart healthy" or "all natural" unless it meets certain requirements.
