Happy with everything about the site except forcing me to uncheck the keep-me-logged-in box everytime I go there.
Please, folks... for those who want to stay signed in it's a one time thing. For others, it's a continual annoyance.
Thanks for asking. Glad you're doing what you do.
Really helpful site with lots of detailed info about supplements, health-related products, and even some food products like cocoa and spices. They summarize research results and also test products to verify ingredients and identify issues. Definitely recommend.
This site has done tremendous research over the years and is invaluable especially this day and age where one does not know where to turn to anymore for objective independent information on over the counter health supplements, products, and now even foods and things pertaining to health. There is so very much great information that they supply I am grateful for all the hard work that they have done to keep this site working
Thank you for you kind words, JoannJoy. We'll keep working hard at providing objective, independent information!
In general, my experience has always been good. I really appreciate the work you do to keep us informed. I have one criticism, though, and that's about the website. When I sign in, for some weird reason, I don't remain signed it if I look at one of the information pages. So I have to sign in once again. Please, please, please fix this!
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 just wanted to say how thankful I am for your organization. You guys make it possible for us (consumers) to cut though all of the marketing hoopla and make educated -and safe- purchase decisions.
Keep up the awesome work!
Thanks for letting us know, Jeff. That's exactly why we are here.
Consumer Lab does a great job of testing and reviewing the various products that are offered. The only reason I gave them 4 instead of 5 stars, is that they often don't have the brands in their review, that I find in my local health food stores for some products. Yes, I realize there are a lot of brands out there.
We're glad to have you as a member, Stephen! Thanks for your review. You can always feel free, as can any member, to shoot us suggestions about products you would like to see tested.
For everything I've read on the site it appears to be honest, truthful, interesting, current, and great resource for supplement information. I refer to it a couple of times a week. I only wish my local health supplement stores would stock the recommended products (smallish town, a limited number of stores to shop at!)
We are glad that ConsumerLab has been a valued resource for you, Warren. Thanks for posting your review!
I have been a member for 6 or 7 years. My wife and I are in our 80s and have several maladies, some associated with aging and some that are not. So we take several supplements. We don't order or buy any supplement until seeing what Consumer Labs says about it and seeing which products give the best value. Consider me a very satisfied Lifetime member.

Thank you very much for sharing that, Truman. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
I love ConsumerLab. I research alot of things on the website when I want to make a health decision or recommendations on what brands are best for vitamins and other items. It's definitely my go to site.
We have relied on Consumer Lab for years for timely and accurate information regarding the efficacy of various supplements and nutritional approaches. They have been great sources to help nake informed decisions.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Charles!
I was hoping to find the best and most reliable brands but the tests I've looked at so far (canned salmon, canned sardines, CoQ10) seem to only test store brands like Sam's Club or CVS or other low-quality brands. I can't find much testing of brands that tend to be higher quality and fewer additives (when it comes to supplements). This is a real disappointment.
My Consumer Labs subscription is worth every penny. One of the more valuable aspects is email updates. It allows me to stay current on research on dietary supplements. I appreciate the reviews of supplements when I need to make a recommendation on something specific. The encyclopedia is also an excellent reference.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
I have relied upon Consumer Lab for many years. They offer extensive accurate information about supplements and herbs which includes the actions, precautions and contraindications. They also test various products to determine the quality of specific brands. All of this is invaluable information. I am an RN and Naturopath, and have studied these things myself.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Sharon!
I've used this service for almost 3 years. Never more than since the Covid 19: experience. I'd be lost in a maze of questions but thanks to consumers labs I get information I can actually use. I used it recently to get The information I needed to get a honest accurate test done. I knew what where and how to get the best virus test possible. Thank you so much for really doing such a great job.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
Been a member for a number years and rely on their ratings and articles on health related issues. Excellent coverage of Covid in all respects. They have showed areas where supplements can be dangerous too, i. E. foreign stuff (heavy metals and others). A great resource for all.
We're glad to hear that ConsumerLab.com is helpful to you, Alan. Thanks for your review!
It's extremely valuable to have the ability to access independent, evidence-based evaluations not just of supplements but of what is currently found to be helpful for different disorders. Well worth the money!
I can't imagine not having ConsumerLab to get the truth about supplements. They give the facts; none of the fluff manufacturers want you to believe. I don't purchase any supplements without checking ConsumerLab first. It has saved me a significant amount of money and I believe I am purchasing the best product available.
Thank you for that nice review, Sheila. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
I am grateful for the reviews I read on ConsumerLab.com. I am so glad to know if the products I use are safe and are what they claim to be. The information helps me make informed decisions and sometimes even save money. Plus I enjoy learning about a variety of issues and substances.
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.

Answer: There is no single best supplement or brand. It's best to focus on the type of supplement you are looking for, e.g., multivitamin, fish oil, probiotic, herbal) and read our Product Review for that specific category and see which product is our Top Pick for that category. Here is a list of our current reports: https://www.consumerlab.com/results/
