Love the info but the site is difficult to use. I'll click wanting to read additional info Top Picks or a report.
The site has me re-enter sign in again & then not take me to specific info I requested
I get frustrated & exit the site when this happens.
Please fix this!
There is so much hokum out there. When I need information, even though I search. Edu sites and other science based sites, I always always check ConsumerLab. They have the latest unbiased information. Love you guys.
I would love to know if the supplements in vitamin patches really measure up to the volume they claim in each patch. Also, is there any research on the efficacy of their delivery system. I am primarily thinking about Patch MD. I have seen no mention of PatchMD in any of your reports. Other than that your newsletter is outstanding.
Thanks for your feedback, Carl. Please check out our CL Answer which included information on Patch MD. https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/do-vitamin-b12-patches-like-those-from-patchmd-really-work/B12-vitamin-patches/.
I am very pleased with your info and product evaluations. What I would suggest is not just checking products for their contents to see if they pass your parameters, but I would like to see you compare the products for effectiveness. It is one thing to see if the contents are legit but it is another to determine it's effectiveness in treating the malady.
Thank you for your feedback, Dave. We will take this into consideration in the future.
I continually research the information & quality of the supplements I use or may want to use to improve my nutrition and health. They cover all aspects of each subject and their ratings allow me to get the best quantity & quality at an economical price.
That's exactly what we do, Walter. Thanks for mentioning that in your review.
ConsumerLab continues to be a valuable resource for anyone concerned about the safety and efficacy of dietary supplements. It is well-organized, includes references to primary literature, and uses language accessible to the nonprofessional. I recommend it highly.
Thank you for that nice feedback, KD!
Consumer Lab is my go to website for any Vitamin and Herbal Supplements. It is very informative and they continue to update their information. I also like how they request suggestions from their subscribers on what they would like them to review. Great website! Thank you Consumer Lab!
As I am getting up in years I am more open to different avenues of improving my health.Your site greatly improves my chances of exploring medicines and supplements that are available that help me to find those that are positive and others that are negative.Thankyou for your service.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Lawrence!
I had heard about consumerlab several years ago dealing with there rating of consumer health and nutritional products. I have enjoyed using the website to obtain information regarding purchases that I would like to make and other info that I would like to know. I have found them to be quite beneficial. I believe that they are the best in supplying correct information to the public and are on a firm foundation in their research and analysis. I look forward to many more years of their quality research and writings. I had one question that I had needed answered and got that answer within 2 minutes of asking it to consumerlab from Evelyn.
ConsumerLab is my trusted source for quantitative reviews of substances that typically are not regulated. In addition, I rely on ConsumerLab for general and specific health related information, such as for Covid-19.
Thanks for that nice review, Bruce. We work hard to bring our members, like you, useful and objective information.
I have been using Consumer Lab for several years. I started when my husband became allergic to many of his medications and I needed to look up the ingredients of each med to make sure it didn't contain the substances he was allergic to. Right now I am using them for Covid19 information. I am very confidant that I am getting correct information and will continue to use this service.
Thank you for that nice review, Susan. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
I am a retired dietitian but still do consulting part time. I use Consumer Lab religiously. I have trusted Consumer Lab for years for reliable and accurate information. I have referred this resource to many other people including other health professionals. I personally use products and supplements they have recommended and tested. Consumer Lab was especially helpful during COVID with reviews of proper masks and myths regarding supplement use during this difficult time. I highly recommend this resource to anyone who is interested in keeping up to date on health and nutritional issues.
Thanks for your nice review, Kitty, and for referring ConsumerLab to others! We appreciate it.
I am a pharmacist and creator based in Korea. I find the ConsumerLab website extremely useful for my needs.
However, I have had a somewhat disappointing experience. I attempted to purchase the "2023 Survey of Vitamin and Supplement Users Report" and sent two emails to Lisa Sabin for assistance, but I never received a reply.
I had no other alternatives to turn to for help, so I gave up, but I am still curious as to why this happened.
Despite this issue, I find the overall ConsumerLab website very helpful. Thank you always.
Best,
JangMooHyun
Thank you for your review. We are sorry if we did not get back to you with information about our Survey Report, which is a 170+ page market research report based on consumer perceptions. Lisa Sabin will reach out to you directly for more information about that report. As you may be aware, the Survey Report is different from our Product Reviews, which are available online with a ConsumerLab membership.
I've been a member for over 10 years. Always refer family & friends to your site! Whenever I research vitamins & supplements I never fail to utilize your site in order to make my final & definitive decision.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Tracy. Thanks for letting us know.
I'm happy to have a place to learn. Really like the lectures explaining what various vitamins and supplements do. My family and friends regularly ask me to tell them what I've learned. And what is recommended and the info is valuable! Thank you!
Thank you for your review, Mary. We appreciate your support!
After many years, I never buy any supplement without checking first on ConsumerLab. Sure, it important to find a product that well rated (product contains what is should and does not contain bad stuff) but just as important (to me at least) is the ability to learn what is really known about the efficacy and safety of hundreds of different supplements. In addition, I can easily find out if a supplement will interact with any of my medications. Finally, always check the 'Recalls & Warnings' section to see if any problems have been found in products you have purchased, the 'Clinical Updates' section to see what is new in research about supplements and disease, and the 'CL Answers' section to see great answers to questions you may have.
Thank you for that nice review, Steve. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
ConsumerLab.com is my go-to source for info on vitamins and other supplements as well as on miscellaneous ingestibles such as cocoa/chocolate, coconut water, bone broth, etc. as they relate to nutrition and health. Now I learn about Covid-19, too. ConsumerLab.com provides a thorough compilation of research on these subjects, giving pros and cons so I can make the best choices for my family and myself.
Thank you, Betsy. We are very glad to know that our information is helpful to you!
I refer to ConsumerLab.com often about many of the products they test and rate and also find valuable and reliable the excellent information about the use of those products. I highly recommend this site to anyone who wants to be well-informed about a host of over-the-counter medications, supplements, etc.
Thank you very much for sharing that, Joan. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
I've been using Consumer Lab for about a year now! I rely on them to provide information on my supplements! I always check with them before getting new or different supplements. My supplements have changed and I feel a difference!
Thank you for letting us know, Judy. It’s always nice to hear how our information is helping our members.
For years, I have relied on consumerlab.com to educate me and guide my purchases for anything from vitamin D to coffee and chocolate. I especially enjoy the chocolate reviews and accolades for dark chocolate, my favorite "medicine!" With COVID, I have found no better resource for updates on transmission risks, vaccine info and comparisons and especially for mask recommendations. I can't imagine how anyone can make a good mask choice without guidance from consumerlab.com. I have encouraged all of my friends to subscribe.
Thanks for that nice review and being a CL member, Kathy! We're very glad that our information is helpful to you.

Here is a list of our current reports: https://www.consumerlab.com/results/
