It is a good resource to start one's search of specific products. However, there are MANY cleaner, less toxic products out there in at least some categories (for example smaller businesses) AND where on earth is "Guthrie's Corner"...listed on fb page as the address?. The state should at least be given for transparency purposes. EWG's app for products I have heard is $$$$ motivated. Would love to see these apps reviewed.
When reading about the various water filtering products approx. One year ago I requested that they also test the Clearly Filtered filters. They responded by reciting the Clearly Filtered manufacturer's published data rather than subjecting it to the same tests as the other products mentions. This month they, once again, tested several of the water filters on the market. In their statement they mentioned that several subscribers had requested that they test the Clearly Filtered filters. They once again responded by quoting the company's published data (that we are all capable of reading on our own). This still leaves the conclusion up to the subscribers to determine, which we can do without subscribing.
Very useful unbiased reports on their product tests and the findings. Knowing which supplement makers to trust is of crucial importance to me. I also like their informative newsletters about the latest research pertaining to various substances usually available as supplements. Can hardly imagine being without Consumer Lab as an aid now.
I sincerely appreciate the research, information, education and care that Consumer Lab provides its clients. I base my purchases on the reviews and ratings of Consumer Lab. There are too many products on the market that are not what they advertise, contain fillers, inferior or unsafe ingredients. Thank you for your research!
Thank you for your kind words and trust in Consumer Lab, NAT. We're dedicated to providing accurate information and helping you make informed choices. Your support means a lot to us!

Consumer Labs is my first stop when researching all supplements and any foodstuff. I base all my choices (and recommendations to family and friends) on their reviews. I am a very healthy, fit 70+ year old who trusts this resource. It's worth the fee to have all their research available to me. Keep up the good work!
Given that dietary supplements are totally unregulated, having access to ConsumerLab reviews bridges that gap quite nicely while also providing additional value with deep dives into existing scientific evidence for the efficacy of each supplement reviewed.
Am grateful each time I access the ConsumerLab site. It provides me with detailed, accurate information on the various supplements I choose to take. I am always surprised by the number of companies that do not measure up to their own advertising! Thanks for "having my back" when selecting supplements…I count on your knowledge & integrity.
Thank you so much for your kind words and for choosing ConsumerLab as your trusted source of information on supplements! We greatly appreciate your trust and loyalty.
It's our pleasure to provide you with detailed and accurate information to help you make informed decisions about the supplements you take. We take pride in our commitment to integrity and quality, and we're thrilled to hear that you rely on us to "have your back" when selecting supplements.
Once again, thank you for your continued support, and we look forward to being your go-to resource for supplement information in the future.
I have been a subscriber for a number of years, and I am always impressed by both the depth and breath at which ConsumerLab.com reports out its findings on various products, especailly supplements. I know of no other source for this type of information. I also appreciate the opporutnity to recommend supplements for testing, as well as the direct contact with staff as on one occasion the report on NAD and its possible cancer implications.

All of what they're consolidating is available somewhere else free online, consumer reports is 100% about making money off the less internet-research-Davy consumer they claim to care about. I'm sure a majority of their subscriber base is a bit older. Should be free, paid for by web traffic ads donation etc.
Consumer Lab site is easy to use, providing immediate access for members to get answers to questions.
One particular feature I find so so so useful is this. When the newsletter comes, and I click on the item I am interested in, the website takes me to the heart of the answer that was highlighted in the newsletter. Although I usually go back and skim through the rest of the researched article, I have already had access to the answer I was looking for.
This organization provides an enormous benefit to its members.
Thank you!
Each review is very comprehensive and thorough. I use it regularly to help select supplements. Sometimes I wish more brands would be on the list.
Consulting Consumerslab is my first task before I purchase any supplement, as there is no way to tell which is most potent, which are beneficial and which may be harmful without testing. The discussions, and reviews of recent studies are terrific. Honestly, I would be lost without my daily ConsumersLab email.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're thrilled to hear that Consulting ConsumersLab has become an essential part of your supplement purchasing routine. Ensuring potency, safety, and effectiveness is our top priority, and we're glad to hear that our discussions, reviews, and recent study analyses have been helpful for you.
First place I look for objective reviews on all things nutritional.
I feel I really get my money's worth subscribing to Consumer Lab. All product reviews include information from the most recent scientific literature and studies, so I trust their product recommendations.
I sometimes see items on you prime choice picks that are not easy to find or do not exist. Case in point, anything made by Rexall. I finally found that Rexall is through the same company that owns Dollar Store. But I could not purchase your 1st choice. Can you include a link to purchase items like LabDoor does?
Please test more choices of each product. Looking at Amazon can help you narrow your choices if you look at the number of purchases of particular items.

I have been a member of Consumer Lab for many years. I check it at least weekly to learn about supplements and the research behind them. I don't buy any product that they review until I check to see if CL has tested it and recommends it as a Top Pick. The website is easy to navigate and has A LOT of information to help consumers on so many levels. I highly encourage people I know to become members and stay safe!
Thank you for that nice review, Cheryl. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
I do not like wasting my money or ingesting dubious supplements, therefore I always check Consumer Lab to assure me what's worth purchasing and what's worth trusting. Considering supplements are not regulated, I trust Consumer Lab to provide me with the information I need.
You would be foolish to take advertisements at face value, or your sister-in-law's postman's recommendation - I want a lab's investigation and get it via Consumer Lab. It's worth every penny!
Incidentally, I am 80 years old, look younger (other people say), and have absolutely no bone density loss; due to CL's collagen recommendation? I think so.
PS I have no association with CL other than as a long-time customer.
I appreciate the fact that ConsumerLab reviews products with science not hype. They report on all findings whether pro popular believe or not. Although they rate products it is left for the consumer to decide which product they will use with full (or as close as possible) information. I only wish there were more Canadian products listed.
Thank you very much for sharing that, Sandra. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
ConsumerLab.com is an invaluable tool for me when I'm going to purchase vitamins and other supplements. Their evaluations
Are extremely thorough and unbiased. Besides reviewing the most popular brands, ConsumerLab provides a great deal of
Scientific data as part of each review. I recommend this website to everyone... definitely worth the more-than-reasonable cost of membership!
Thank you very much for sharing that, Arlene. We are happy that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support!
I have subscribed to Consumer Lab for many years - so many I've lost count. And I'll keep my subscription going ad infinitum. I check Consumer Lab for information and reviews several times a week. I often make purchase decisions based on their recommendations. There are many occasions when I have stopped using a product based on information I learned from them. There is absolutely no better source for reviews and data on vitamins and supplements than Consumer Lab.
We're glad to have you as a member, Rick! Thanks for your review.
Consumer Lab is a source of health information that I can trust - a rarity these days. I originally became a member years ago to read reviews and info about supplements, but I continue to learn so much more. In particular, CL has been a reliable resource throughout the COVID crisis. There is always something in the emails that interests me, usually several items. Keep up the good work, Consumer Lab!
Thank you very much for sharing that, Yvette. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
I've used Consumer Lab several times, over several years, to read about supplements I take or am considering. The reviews are very thorough and often contain a lot more information than I need, but are probably helpful to those with a variety of other health issues. I like the fact that the company doesn't take advertising and is run by a medical doctor.
Thank you for that nice review, Cheryl. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
As a member from early on, I happily keep up my membership for peace of mind. With no way of knowing what's actually in a product underneath the sales hype and glitzy packaging, I've been known to look things up while shopping. Who doesn't love a company that removes the worry factor? Because toxic ingredients are in our everyday products—i am grateful that ConsumerLab vets under-regulated products for us all.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Suzy. Thanks for the great review!

I have been a member for quite a few years and have found numerous studies and articles on products that were of importance to me or family. The explanations of how supplements work, why certain vitamins, minerals etc are important and what to watch out for have been so helpful. I can't count the number of times I changed what I was going to do based on research and information I read on the Consumer Lab website.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Sue. Thanks for your feedback!
