Best Subscription Ever!

ConsumerLab has unbiased and honest reviews. They test it and report it, simple as that. It always has good content on articles regarding products and testing and I rely on their honesty before I purchase any products. Keep up the good work!

CL Review

I find the information useful when I look for a supplement. The information has references to studies and tests of products. This is very helpful when there is so much information floating around the internet.

Great resource
May 6, 2023

Consumer lab is the only resource for independent trustworthy, a supplement reviews. I refer to consumer lab frequently regarding supplement use. However, I have recommended some products be reviewed and have never received a response from consumer lab to my recommendations nor have my recommended products been reviewed.

Regular subscriber, use regularly. Only convenient source of information on the studies of supplements. Seems very factual and balanced. Study of actual contents of supplements is vital and appreciated.

ConsumerLab is the best!
July 31, 2023

The newsletters are e-mailed and just the right frequency. I open them and read them and then follow the links to changes or new info that I'm interested in. I often use the test results - especially the Top Picks are very helpful. When I'm interested in getting help with a specific health problem, I like that there are articles I can search for; the search applet is good. I also benefit from the comments section and I think it's so great that CL responds to those. My only complaint is that I wish I didn't need to sign in before clicking on a link. Why can't I sign in after clicking and still be taken to that info?

Best Info on health products on line!
March 31, 2020

Love that they do their own testing. Have found many products that were virtually useless and other products that were what they were supposed to be. Always check here for info on virtually any health products.

Good resource
July 12, 2023

I rely on CL's reviews of nutritional supplements and ancillary health-related products (such as water- and air- filters) in choosing appropriate porducts for myself and my family--but I have found that in the last couple of years, the brands they choose to review--and update--are not the brands that I have interest in and are most accessible. Further, CL is choosing to 'recycle' reviews more often rather than review new science and new (and promising) supplements. I am not sure whether this is a result of the general, pandemic-related slow down in virtually everything, but after being a member for many years (10+), I'm not sure I'll renew my membership.

Go-to reference desk
March 31, 2020

This is a "must" site. Over the years, I've found 3 brands of different supplements I'd been buying regularly got a "Not Approved" on Consumer Lab. I was really surprised - the brands were Dr Weil, Whole Foods house brand, and some other costly resveratrol. They don't always list the stuff I get, but it's satisfying to see when your stuff gets their "Approved" label.

I appreciate Consumer Lab and refer to it weekly. However, if I were to use all the Approved supplements, I'd be over-whelmed with pills and capsules. I'd like more help sorting out what is necessary for me and what is not.

Thanks for your review, Ryan. Within the Reviews, we identify our Top Picks or best choices among those that have been Approved. Approval means that a product passed our laboratory testing, e.g., containing their key ingreidents, not exceeding limits for contaminants, etc. Each Review also includes information that should help you first decide whether or not a type of supplement is potentially useful and appropriate (or ineffective and possibly dangerous), what dose is appropriate, and which product or products would be best -- factoring in their quality, ingredients, dose, and relative cost. I hope that helps.

Great reference

I always go to consumer lab before purchasing a supplement. I appreciate the easy access to scientific studies and references. As a retired chemist, I realize the importance of research and references.

Good information
March 31, 2020

I've been a member here since you were recommended years ago on the Dr. Oz show. I find your reviews very helpful. However, the only products I use are Isagenix and ProCaps Andrew Lessman. There are very few reviews on these products, as well as on pet products. I also find the yearly fee to be quite high for as often as I need it. I'm a senior citizen on a fixed income, so I probably won't renew.

After learning the hard way, I've made a point to search your treasure trove of information before purchasing any supplements. This is more important now than ever as fancy packaging with false claims conceal faulty products.

Learning Something New

Randy's Review
March 31, 2020

I have been a subscriber to Consumer Lab for many years and I value their input and extensive explanations of the different vitamins and minerals and particularly the herb and miscellaneous supplement reviews and recommendations. I have been taking supplements for probably 25 to 30years and have an actual age of 76 and an effective age according to others as well as myself of 60. I trust Consumer Lab reviews and their detailed analysis. I am taking probably about 28 supplements daily which are spread out over three meals.

Valuable service
July 25, 2022

Before starting any new supplement, I always check with consumerlab.com to see if they have ratings for it and which ones pass or fail. Sometimes a brand available to me wasn't tested so I have to just pick one as long as it's not one that's not been approved - but I try to pick one that has been approved if I can find it. I trust their ratings, and I appreciate all the info about each supplement - like the different forms it may come in and the pros and cons of each.

The information provided by ConsumerLab.com is most helpful. Notable examples are information on supplements to prevent, reduce the risk of or treat Kidney stones, Macular Degeneration, and also the Coronavirus. There are times when they review supplements and conditions for which I would never have thought to look up information, and the information proves to be both interesting and helpful. I will continue to subscribe to this worthwhile report.

I started with Consumer Labs when the annual fee was $25.00. It was well worth it then and I still consider it worth the current annual price. It has been an excellent resource in working with patients at the Health Center and for my own use. The summaries of the latest research saves me time and is a must read before selecting any supplement. If you want more information, the references are provided.

Excellent for personal and professional use.
