You can find tons of sites that"reviews" health products out there, but this site is the the only one I am aware of that is truly unbiased; they don't profit from their reviews, and the testing is done by independent labs. I feel confident in putting my trust in their findings. It's my go-to site when I'm looking for vitamins or supplements, both for us and the pets!
Very pleased with finding information on anything I am interested in concerning all my vitamins and related topics.
I am still unhappy about not finding information on some of my supplements I take even though I listed the brands on questionnaires.
Thank you so much for your kind words, Ruth! We’re thrilled to hear that you had a positive experience with us. Your support means a lot!
Consumer Lab performs unbiased analysis of supplements and food products. They provide useful links to research studies than might be difficult for non specialists to find. While I appreciate their work and try to use their insights, they often offer such limited numbers of products in their reviews (particularly of foods) I can't use their research. For instance, when they reviewed sardines and green teas, they only reviewed a few mediocre tasting mainstream brands. If you're someone who eats middle eastern, Indian, mediterranean, or asian food, you're not likely to find much of use to you in their food reviews. The same limitation of limited product numbers being analyzed relative to the number available also applies to supplement and vitamin reviews. That's better than nothing, but still can be frustrating.
Thank you for your thoughtful review! We truly appreciate your support and are glad you find value in our unbiased analyses and access to research studies. We understand your frustration regarding the number of products reviewed, particularly for foods and supplements. Our goal is to provide representative testing across different categories while maintaining rigorous quality standards. That said, we always welcome suggestions for brands or product types you’d like to see included in future reviews. Your feedback is invaluable in helping us improve, and we appreciate you sharing your perspective!
ConsumerLab is my go-to resource for assessing quality and safety of dietary supplement products, herbs, and common foods (the olive oil review is awesome!). The dietary supplement research overviews are also very helpful! I couldn't do my work without ConsumerLab.
Thank you so much, Suzanne! We're thrilled to be your go-to resource and are glad you’ve found the supplement reviews and research overviews helpful. The olive oil review is one of our favorites too! We truly appreciate your support and are honored to be part of your work.
While there are numerous postings about what you cover, most don't come anywhere near the detail information needed to make an intelligent choice. Who knew chocolate had lead and cadmium (I switched to a much lower level). Vitamins that don't contain what they claim -- water purification filters that actually add micro plastics to the water. These are just a small % of the articles that have directly affected me.
Thank you for your detailed review. We’re so glad ConsumerLab has been helpful in cutting through the noise and providing the kind of in-depth information that supports truly informed decisions. It's great to hear that our reports on chocolate, supplements, and water filters have made a real impact for you.
We appreciate your support and are grateful to have you as part of the ConsumerLab community.
I am an RN. I find that I frequently use Consumer Labs to find a summary of the latest research on medications, supplements, and other products. I highly recommend obtaining a membership and then actively using it.

I've been a subscriber for years, and feel my subscription has saved me money overall and helped me avoid potential dangers. Along with the testing results, I really appreciate the research overviews.
I have several chronic health conditions that have not been successfully treated by mainstream medicine. I've had to turn to supplements for relief, but I have difficulty accessing MDs with expertise in this area. ConsumerLab helps me evaluate the supplements worth trying, along with contraindications and potential interactions and side effects.
As a simple example, ConsumerLab mentioned a small study of Potassium Citrate to treat Restless Legs Syndrome. I tried the study protocol, after checking with a doctor, and this has given me relief from an agonizing condition I've had for about 50 years. The standard medication had only made the RLS worse. I'm so grateful for the study information!
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re so glad to hear that ConsumerLab has been a valuable resource in your health journey and has helped you make informed decisions about supplements. It’s especially rewarding to know that the research we provide has contributed to real relief for you—your story about Potassium Citrate and Restless Legs Syndrome is truly inspiring. We appreciate your support over the years and are grateful to be part of your wellness journey. If there’s ever anything we can do to improve your experience, don’t hesitate to reach out!
A weighted summary of study results would be helpful, like a chart of pros and cons of studies and results. Then an opinion re the value of supplement based upon currently known/published studies.
Thank you for the thoughtful suggestion. A weighted summary or visual chart of study pros and cons is a great idea and could help make complex findings easier to digest. We do sometimes include charts like this within our CL Answers, and we're always looking for ways to make the research even more accessible. We appreciate your input!

I belong to ConsumerLab.com as well as & EWG and use them to get information on products before I buy them.
However, I have found that products I am looking for information on have not been reviewed.
In regard to EWG, I do submit the products for review when I find them.
I have also submitted products for review to ConsumerLab.com.
Unfortunately Membership has gone up with ConsumerLab.com & being on a fixed income, I may not renew this year.
I look forward to Consumer Labs each month. I also check each prescription I get from the Veterans to see the specs.I also check supplements. Consumer Labs tells it like it is, good or bad. Everyone should their meds to see what what they are, to see if they contain what is on the label. To me, the cost is minimal

I have been a member of ConsumerLab for more than several years now. They are my go-to, trusted source of information on so many items. They are an incredibly reliable and honest company. Their articles are detailed and thorough. And I respect the fact that they are not intimidated by anyone to alter their information for any political or other reason.
I also appreciate the fact that they will update an article or eview as needed.
ConsumerLab is one of very few companies that are worthy of maintaining a subscription to.
Thank you. We are glad to know that our information is helpful to you and that your appreciate our scientific integrity.
I can't describe how much I love this site. With all the "information" on the internet that is based on nothing an informed person needs to be able to look at research results. Third party impartial testing is needed on vitamins, minerals, and herbal supplements. Invaluable information on this site.
