text: Third party seller. These came in a box, not tamper proof - not even a plastic sticker on the box, no inner plastic lining - these kinds of products also degrade much faster when exposed to oxygen, which is why they should be hermetically sealed - aside from the obvious fact that I don't want to put something in my body that could have been tampered with so easily. The seller emailed me through amazon asking how I liked the product. I responded with above comments. No reply. Then they emailed me again a week later, asking me to leave feedback. So here I am, fulfilling their wish.
