I've been taking supplements for over 50 years based on the philosophy that " it couldn't hurt",,,, because there was no independent laboratory testing if what manufacturers said was in the supplements REALLY WAS in those supplements. ConsumerLab.com is the answer to "faith-based" nutrition. Thank you for providing a much needed service for a very fair price!
I consistently follow ConsumerLab reports and look up products on CL to help me choose what to purchase or use.
I've been a member of ConsumerLab for several years with zero regrets. ConsumerLab continues to supply extensive information and excellent recommendations about relavent products on a timely basis. I never buy any items such as supplements, food, beverages, etc. without consulting ConsumerLab first. Keep up the fantastic work that you continue to do.
Been a delighted subscriber for years, possibly decades. It's difficult for me to fathom purchasing a supplement without consulting the site.
I greatly appreciate the work of ConsumerLab and the integrity of its reporting.
I have enjoyed most of what CL provides and it has been helpful.
Improvements: - Please retest and confirm when a product that has been recommended has changed vendor/source or has been unavailable for a long period of time due to supply chain issues and may have changed vendor/source. - When testing products like health/protein bars; (Ideal has real food and minimal processing) 1)Please analyze how much real food is included, such as having peanuts as the first listed ingredient, instead of being way down the list, if there at all 2) Please opine on what level of processing has gone into the product.
I use your site constantly but one thing you neglect constantly are organic products. Considering how much glyphosate, plastics and chemicals also fillers are used in supplements, powders etc, - used everywhere today, I think it's a shame that you don't include organic and that you really should.Also you dont talk about fillers in the supplements you review. Its great to discuss heavy metals and you do for sure but organic is really important today as we are consuming so much garbage!
Supplements were vital in preventing recurrence of inflammation when I was in remission from a bout with an autoimmune condition in 2014. I discovered CL when I was buying 15 different supplements from the same store. The CL breakdown of labels revealed more than I expected and I've followed the recommended sources for many years. CL went from being "good information" to being an essential tool for Health maintenance. My doctor agrees that continuing these daily supplements beyond recovery, accounts for exceptionally good health in my Eighties.
I read CL religiously and frequently look up purchases before I make them to check out the research and safety.
I have subscribed to CL for years. In addition to checking that supplements actually contain the substances—and quantities—shown on the label (and checking for harmful contaminants), they provide thorough, detailed reports about the supplements, including not only a list of relevant formal studies but also an analysis of the quality and reliability of those studies! As new studies are done and reported, CL integrates the results into its online articles. Sometimes this has caused me to switch from one supplement to another, following their latest analysis of ALL of the studies. I do not regard such a change of recommendation to show a flaw in their methodology; instead, I regard it as a demonstration that they are "following the Science", since Science too continuously reevaluates its prior conclusions, sometimes completely changing what is "true". Only complaint--sometimes my questions (via email) have been ignored.
I have frequently used the results of the Consumer Labs studies, and I have always found them to be very helpful in determining what supplements I buy and use. Consumer Labs has never led me wrong!
Thank you for your kind words and for trusting ConsumerLab in your decision-making. We’re so glad to hear that our testing and reviews have been helpful in guiding your supplement choices. Knowing that our work gives you confidence and peace of mind is exactly what we strive for.
I count in Consumer Labs reviews to help me pick the best supplements and consumables. Sometimes the product I am considering hasn't been tested but there is guidance on what the look for in the most effective ingredients.
I wish they would start analyzing/highlighting for other ingredients such as "natural flavoring" which is supposed to be petroleum based and not made of natural products.
Thank you for sharing this feedback and for relying on our reviews to guide your supplement and consumable choices. We’re glad to hear that even when a specific product hasn’t been tested, our guidance on ingredients is helpful to you. Your suggestion regarding “natural flavoring” is an excellent one. We’re always working to expand the scope of our evaluations and will keep this in mind as we plan future reviews and ingredient highlights.
I consult ConsumerLab.com before I purchase any supplement. I'm concerned about efficacy, safety and value.
Thank you for your message and for making ConsumerLab part of your decision process. We appreciate your trust in us to help ensure the supplements you choose are effective, safe, and a good value. That’s exactly what we aim to provide in every review.
Phenomenal— Detailed, thorough and conscientious authority and forum for health products/ vitamins/ supplements/ etc. A gem!
Thank you so much, Alex, for your thoughtful feedback! We’re glad to hear that you find our reviews and resources to be detailed, thorough, and reliable. Our mission is to provide clear, evidence-based information so you can make the best decisions about health products, vitamins, and supplements. We truly appreciate your support and are grateful to have you as part of the ConsumerLab community.
I depend on consumerlab.com quite a bit. The only thing I notice that's a bit off is a noticeable bias toward animal protein. But other than that it's awesome.
Hi Eve, thanks for the thoughtful review. ConsumerLab appreciates your trust. On your note about a perceived bias toward animal protein, ConsumerLab’s testing and recommendations are independent and evidence-based, covering both animal and plant proteins. Products are purchased at retail, tested in certified labs, and selected as Top Picks based on quality, amino acid profile, contaminants, labeling accuracy, and value. Many plant-based options rate highly when results support them. If any pages read as unbalanced, please don't hesitate to reach out. Thank you for supporting independent testing.
I like your emails so I can check the latest reviews. I also sometimes sign up and check for an item I am particularly interested in. I appreciate the opportunity to find out about the quality of the products I consider using from consumer lab because I know your reviews are independent and honest. Thank you.
Thank you, Evangelia. ConsumerLab is glad the email updates make it easy to see the latest reviews, and we appreciate your trust in our independent, honest reporting.
I go to Consumer Lab Reports at least one time a day for information regarding everything from food to medical disorders.
Thank you, Claudia. ConsumerLab is glad to be your go-to resource for foods, supplements, and health topics.
I use Consumerlab.com whenever I'm looking for vitamins, minerals, herbals. My only concern is that I have suggested products for their reviews but they have not shown up on the reviews.
Thanks, James. ConsumerLab is glad you use the site when researching vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements. Because many requests are received, testing is prioritized based on safety concerns, popularity, and feasibility, so some items may take longer to appear.
I always check ConsumerLab when I am looking for information and recommendations regarding a supplement or health condition. I do wish that there were more brands reviewed because the brands I usually buy from aren't included.
Thanks, Jennifer. ConsumerLab appreciates the feedback on brand coverage. Reviews are updated on a rolling basis to include more brands.
Independent, non-biased evaluations & analysis are very helpful in determining if a product is going to be beneficial for me and which brands should be considered.
Thanks, Richard. Glad ConsumerLab’s independent evaluations help you choose effective products and compare brands.
