Fake Supplement Reviews: What the FTC Banned and How to Check

What does the FTC fake reviews rule ban?
It bans fake reviews and testimonials, including AI-generated ones, and reviews bought for positive or negative sentiment. It also bans undisclosed insider reviews and review suppression (FTC, Final rule banning fake reviews).
The FTC announced it on August 14, 2024, and can seek civil penalties against knowing violators.
It covers all products. Supplements draw extra care because health claims need strong evidence, and a testimonial alone is not enough (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance).
How can you spot fake supplement reviews?
You often cannot by looking. The FTC says it is often nearly impossible to tell, and some fake positive reviews give less than five stars to seem believable (FTC, How To Evaluate Online Reviews).
So use habits, not hunches.
| Check | What to do |
|---|---|
| Source | Who runs the page, and does it sell the product? |
| Compare | Read several sites, not one |
| Timing | Be wary of a sudden burst of reviews |
| Reviewer | Look at the reviewer's history |
Can a review prove a supplement works?
No. The FTC expects health claims to rest on competent and reliable science, generally randomized human trials of the same product, dose and people. Testimonials alone are not enough (FTC, Health Products Compliance Guidance).
A story about one person's week says little about the next person, and a supplement is not a treatment.
Never stop or change a prescription because of a review. Ask your doctor.

No rating, no review count and no quotes, because none is verified. We say that plainly on the reviews page.
The photos in the review cards come from the vendor and are labeled that way. We know of no verified Amazon, Walmart, Trustpilot or Reddit page for Payarmin, and we do not describe any.
The official checkout is the one place to order. Our method is on editorial standards.

FAQ01
More about fake reviews
Is it illegal to buy supplement reviews?
Under the FTC rule, buying reviews conditioned on positive or negative sentiment is banned, as are fake and undisclosed insider reviews. The agency can seek civil penalties from those who knowingly break it.
Do verified-buyer tags make a review real?
Not on their own. Our FTC source says fakes are hard to spot by eye, so a tag is one clue, not proof. Compare several sources and read how the page is funded before you lean on any score.
