I'd be lost without Consumer Labs!
April 10, 2016

As a registered dietitian & certified diabetes educator, I highly value consumer labs reviews to advise and respond to family, friends, and patients regarding use of quality supplements.

Outstanding resource
April 20, 2023

As a health care professional and consumer, I use CL reports and data every week. The cost aligns with the value.

We have subscribed to ConsumerLab for over six years now. We are very much into natural and holistic health and, obviously, find ConsumerLab very helpful. Their subscription rate is $56 or $59 for two years and you can cancel at anytime, which we have done with no problem. We missed it so subscribed again. It is auto-renewed like almost every other subscription we have, so if you don't cancel it will charge your credit card again. Their website shows a great number of lab test findings which failed their tests. They also show even more companies who pass. The companies who fail are able to submit their differences of opinion or findings which are published by ConsumerLab along with the rest of their info. The FDA does not test supplements so we are at the mercy of any fly-by-night that chooses to go into business. The FDA does have guidelines which ConsumerLab checks to see that these are met as part of their testing. They test to assure that the supplement contains what it says it does, as well as tests that they contain no toxic materials. They show results of tons of research done by others around the world to educate members on what vitamins/supplements actually do and do not do for our health. The CEO of the company has testified before congress regarding legislation pertaining to vitamins and supplements. Sounds pretty well-respected to us!

I never buy vitamins, dark chocolate, power bars, and a vast array of other products without checking with ConsumerLab first for efficacy and safety and price.

I have used this site for several years. The information is thorough and reliable. I've been surprised at some items that have failed. To me, it is essential in order to determine what brand to buy.

ConsumerLab.com attempted to help this customer through the Sitejabber Resolution Center, but the customer did not respond

Excellent and most helppful reviews
March 31, 2020

I never buy supplements without first checking this site's reviews - and always get a lot of extra info I was not thinking about. It would be helpful howevr, if more items from companies like Vitacost, and stores like BJ's, were covered.

Overall very good
April 1, 2020

Overall, they do a very good job. But I wish they'd review certain popular items--like Nature's Answer liquid fish oil, which is relatively inexpensive. Also, I can't fathom why, last time I looked, they didn't review the curcumin supplement Theracurmin HP, which is the one used in a small but well designed clinical trial at UCLA.

Thanks for your review, but please note that we did test a Theracurmin (Natural Factors® Curcumin Rich® Double Strength Theracurmin®). Please see our Turmeric and Curumin Review (https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/turmeric-curcumin-supplements-spice-review/turmeric/).

Consumer Lab Review
July 27, 2020

Excellent for the most part my only complaint is that they are unable to review more products. I know there way too many vendors selling there wares for you to get to them all but i can hope.

Great resource

I've been a member for many years. Most recently I've had a registered dietician tell me that she also uses your website as a credible source of honest information.

Thanks for your nice review, Cari. As our reviews cover the full range of dietary supplements as well as healthful foods (such as extra virgin olive oils, canned fish, dark chocolate, green tea, and more) we often hear that registered dieticians and nutritionists find ConsumerLab useful in their practices.

GREAT REVIEWS

Very in-depth information about products we use every day. These reviews enable us to compare products and choose the best for us. It is the "consumer reports" of supplements.

Personal experience

Very good so far. Most questions I have are answered thoroughly. However, I would like to see some testing done on OTC meds and supplements that are made in countries other than the USA.

Quality information
March 31, 2020

I am a graduate student, ie - I'm poor. I get paid for working weekends. The rest of the time, I work for free. Internships. So, I've given up a lot of activities and subscriptions. Looking at ConsumerLab from a strictly financial standpoint, I CAN'T afford to give it up. I am a bit of a fitness fanatic. I work out in some fashion every day. I also supplement my diet with nutrients I know I am deficient in, as well as a few ergogenic aids that improve my physical and mental well-being. With all of the yahoos out there trying to cash in on people's urges to buy the 'next great thing' in the supplement industry, or just to stay healthy, it's absolutely AWESOME to be able to know what's in whatever it is that I'm purchasing. Not only that, but with ConsumerLab's reference chart at the end of each article, I can see where I get my best bang for the buck. Using that chart has saved me WAY more than I spend on the membership here. If you buy more than a couple supplements a month of any kind, you should be subscribed!
