We monitor reviews for authenticity
I go to Consumer Labs whenever I am considering a supplement type or brand to check their rating. I also go to check on the efficacy (or lack thereof) for any supplement. It is an invaluable tool.
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 have been a subscriber for several years and love all the detail you put into your reviews... results of scientific studies... so important. I've used products from network marketing companies that you don't review, and I wish you could. Aside from that, I'm very happy with Consumer Lab.
We are happy to have you as a member, Rae. Thank you for your support.
I have been a member of ConsumerLab for many years and consider the very reasonable yearly fee the best investment I can make for me and my family. If Consumer Lab hasn't reviewed the supplement, we simply don't buy it. We can buy with complete confidence the products reviewed and passed by this great laboratory. I recommend it to our friends as well.
Thanks for your feedback. We appreciate your support!
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.
I have been using ConsumerLab for a few years and have found it to be a reliable and consistent source of information. Kudos!
We are glad to have you as a member, Alexander. Thank you for your feedback.
Very appreciative of the information and helpful product reviews.
Thank you for your support and we are happy to have you as a member.
1. I want you to address why you don't cover whole-food vitamins instead you have just lab produced vitamins.
2. Your articles should have a conclusion as they are too long.
I have been a member since I don't remember when. I'm happy to know there is place on the internet where I can go to get honest and accurate information about supplements. Not only which are the best but tips on how much is safe to take. As long as I'm around I'll be using them.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Dave!
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.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Randy. Thanks for letting us know.
I rely on the review for quality and reliability. So far not disappointed
Thank you for that nice review, Chad. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
It is always a relief to find products that are clean. I use your site often, and appreciate the information about products.
Thank you for doing all this very useful research. As a health food and supplement consumer, I rely on your opinion when I shop. I often buy the products that you recommend and have confidence in your research.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
Anyone who has ever taken a supplement needs to subscribe to ConsumrLab and find out what they're really getting. I have learned so much from them and can really distinguish between false marketing promises and actual scientific evidence. I love how they test different brands and find out what's REALLY in them. Such a great service they provide for consumers!
Thank you very much for sharing that, JD. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
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!
I read the lab reports every time they come out. I save the ones that pertain most to me by marking them unread after reading them and them moving them to a folder I made called Consumer Labs. I save every report but over time when I go back to review them the ones that I marked as unread stand out in my Consumer Lab folder so I can quickly go back to re-read the important ones to me. I also look at the products by brand names to see what is best to purchase
Thank you for that nice feedback, Dave!
I have found that this site provides abundant information ( sometimes almost too much to absorb), specific product information and comparisons and important medical sources and reviews. It is extremely helpful in making decisions and understanding the impact of various supplements and I appreciate the breakdown of ingredients, amounts etc It seems a credible and trustworthy source of timely information!
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Kathy. Thanks for letting us know.
There are two vital aspects to CL:
1) Their reviews of the literature, as to the efficacy of various supplements. So often there is no supporting research for a compound, and then also dangerous side effects and/or interactions. These sections are actively updated with notices sent out.
2) Then their analysis of the actual supplement brands available, contents, contaminants, value, etc. If you want to try a supplement, it only makes sense to know what you are getting, and when you are being ripped off.
Thank you for that nice review, Thomas. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
Without a conflict of interest from sponsored advertisers, I feel fully confident in the advice I have received.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Thomas. Thanks for letting us know.
Answer: Hi Denise, We have actually covered this topic on our website https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/does-prevagen-really-improve-memory/prevagen-memory/.
Answer: Hi - We don't charge every month; just a single charge for a 1-year or 2-year subscription as noted on the page where you joined. We show the calculated cost per month for reference, so you can see that the 2-year subscription is less expensive.

Answer: Hi Frank - I believe you are referring to the review of ConsumerLab from 2004 Journal of the Medical Library Association. Our content and website have continued to expanded annually and membership has increased over those 16 years. The current 1-year membership is $47.40, or $78 for 2-years (an 18% savings off the 1-year rate).
Answer: Hi Bob - As a subscriber, you are entitled to print out a copy of the report (or any pages thereof) for your personal use. However, we don't permit copying or distributing our content, which is proprietary.
Answer: Not yet, but we may next year. We have written about PQQ: https://www.consumerlab.com/answers/is-pqq-similar-to-coq10/what_is_PQQ/
Answer: Hi Theresa - As noted on our site, we permit subscribers to print a copy of our reports for their personal use, but we do not permit not copying or downloads. If you were somehow able to download content from our site, it is quite possible that it would only work while your membership was current.
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/
Answer: Yes, we recently published a new report on turmeric and curcumin supplements as well as turmeric spice (ground root powders) at https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/turmeric-curcumin-supplements-spice-review/turmeric/
Answer: Hi Barbara - You can give a gift membership to ConsumerLab.com from this page: https://www.consumerlab.com/giftcerts/. We have a link to this at the bottom of every page, but the font is a bit small. Hope that helps.
