BAIT AND HOOK. BEWARE. When you go to their webpage for product comparison you have to agree to receive there newsletter which is sent out twice a week, they then send you to another page where you have to sign up for a PAID membership before they will send the information out. To me this is deceptive and they should inform you up front that you MUST have the paid membership to receive any information. I would have never agreed to receive the newsletters if I had known before hand that I would have to sign up for a paid subscription.
As a pharmacist I look to ConsumerLab and all their research to help make my job easier and safer when making recommendations to my patients and monitoring outcomes of their therapy.
Since the OTC industry have almost no regulation, I consider extremely important this kind of sites that test so many products. From Maca to fish oil, always great information.
Each review is very comprehensive and thorough. I use it regularly to help select supplements. Sometimes I wish more brands would be on the list.
I do like consumer labs reports. I realize not every substance or company item can be reviewed
The information provided is clear and beneficial
Thank you for your feedback, Ron!
Have used this site hundreds of times with my clients. Provides fact based, unbiased information. No hidden agendas. Be lost without it. Keep it up.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Eric!
I would like to see your reviews contain more Canadian made products. Most reviews have little relevance for me as they are not sold in Canada.
We're glad to have you as a member, Lisa! Thanks for your review. You can always feel free, as can any member, to shoot us suggestions and questions on products.
I will be a lifelong member as it is so important these days to have the information consumerlab provides to keep from getting harmful products.
Thanks Lani. We are glad to be helping you stay safe.
Not enough products in the review - many big companies that appears in on line shops like i herb-you cant find any thing about

Thanks William. We're glad that you are enjoying your ConsumerLab membership!
I take no supplements without CL's ok.
CL keeps me updated on safe choices, interactions and info on scientific studies of supplement use.
Thanks for that great feedback, Dennis.
It is always a relief to find products that are clean. I use your site often, and appreciate the information about products.
The information is reliable and helpful. I appreciate that ConsumerLab is independent. L think it does a real service to its subscribers.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
Have been subscribing for years. Great, thorough information - I find it increasingly helpful in the obscured, fad-driven world we live in.
Thank you, Alex. Glad to know that we are helpful to you.
I find your side helpful. Wish that you covered more products than you do. The site is a little pricey for how often a person actually uses it.
Thanks for your feedback, Mary. Please free to reach out to us in the future about products you would like to see tested.
I had (somehow) set up two accounts without realizing it, and so was billed twice. One call was all it took to get a refund in seconds.
Thank you very much for sharing that, Judy. Thank you for posting your comments.
I always consult supplement product reviews before purchasing. I only wish there were more brands included with each review.
We always check Consumer Reports when making purchases. The research is trustworthy and their explanations of the results clear.
I love the website. The information has been very helpful in making my supplement decisions. I would prefer fewer emails. No more than 1 per week.
Thanks for letting us know, Sandy. That's exactly why we are here.
I enjoy reading the in-depth articles produced by Consumer Lab. I have recommended it to both friends and family. I even bought my sister. 2-year subscription for the holidays.
Keep up the good reporting and analysis of different products I count on your unbiased results!
Thank you for that nice feedback, James!

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/
