Pain in the neck
July 11, 2019

Although product tests and reviews may be of value, I get flooded, indeed inundated by endless unnecessary reports. Several attempts to unsubscribes were futile and couldn't find on the website how to cancel membership.

Disappointed.
April 13, 2020

Asked you to review a popular fish oil, "Barleans" and I never heard back. This was a while ago. I could never understand why you left out that product as it is very popular around here. Other than that i have been a subscriber for a loong time so that is saying something.

We have tested many Barlean's products over the years and they are included in other reviews on our site (such as our review of flaxseed oil at https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Black_Currant_Borage_Evening_Primrose_and_Flaxseed_Oils_Sources_of_ALA_and_GLA_Omega-3_and_-6_Fatty_Acids/flaxseed/), but we just didn't happen to include them in our latest fish oil review. Testing is very expensive and involves multiple tests at different laboratories. Unfortunately, we can not test every product that is suggested.

Disappointed
December 16, 2020

I wrote to you re: your review of Molekule Air Purifiers. You did not recommend them. You based your review partly on a review done a year ago by Wirecutter, which was refuted by Molekule, who provided compelling and convincing information to negate the Wirecutter review. I communicated with Moleule, I forwarded that info to you to investigate the negative rating based on false assumptions.
You ultimately gave me your stock answer without doing your due diligence and revisiting Moelkule and reviewing all of their pertinent imformation.

My go to before I buy
March 5, 2025

I belong to ConsumerLab.com as well as & EWG and use them to get information on products before I buy them.
However, I have found that products I am looking for information on have not been reviewed.
In regard to EWG, I do submit the products for review when I find them.
I have also submitted products for review to ConsumerLab.com.
Unfortunately Membership has gone up with ConsumerLab.com & being on a fixed income, I may not renew this year.

Great information when purchasing supplements
October 6, 2024

I greatly appreciate being able to review my supplements before I buy. My only concern is why you don't review more Puritan's Pride supplements. I enjoy buying from them because of their rewards program and the availability of products.

Sparrow's Experience
September 26, 2024

I like having a resource that I trust and is not affiliated with or beholding to another entity.
I recommend ConsumerLab whenever getting into discussions concerning supplements and other products that I know have been researched by CL.
If I had any suggestion it would be to include, in CL's reviews, all the big stores (Walmart, Costco, Sam's Club etc) that sell the products being reviewed. It's where a majority of people go to purchase, usually, low cost items.

If I refrigerate olive oil, it comes out solid. You may want to take a second look at Bone Health Restore which now has K2 elite whatever that means. I wrote them and their testing shows K2 at 200 which is why rejected(less than 200) from Life extensions. Maybe elite form of K2 helps. Claude here

Great Tool
September 19, 2024

We've found your website to be very helpful for years now. We are not on any, social media sites, and don't wish to be. Hence, we don't really care what others have to say about various health aids, just the facts, such as you present from your testing. We trust your information, just as others trust the "USP" logo on various supplements. We understand that you can't test all brands of some supplements, so we suggest some to you occasionally. We buy both from brick and mortar vendors and online, so we like to know what to rule out before purchase, as some returns can be difficult. Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work.

THE BEST and ONLY detailed review of supplements
August 22, 2024

GREAT reviews of any supplements you want to take with what they are supposed to do for you…
Which ones actually have the correct amount of what they claim to have…
Which ones cost the least for the best product…
A priceless service.I highly recommend signing on to their service.I believe it may be the best $75 / yr you will spend if you take supplements regularly!

Very helpful provider for nutritional information
September 5, 2024

The information that consumerlab publishes has been very helpful and educational in helping me making choices in using nutritional supplements. I have been paying for this service for many years. People come to me for nutritional advice and consumerlab is a key source of information I use to help other people address health issues. In my research, I have seen this service quoted many times by other practitioners. It is well respected all over the world.

Supplement purchasing caveat
August 29, 2024

I refer other Facebook visitors to go to ConsumerLab.com almost daily. Specifically, when I'm scrolling down my feed and encounter ads for supplements, medicine and such, I always leave this comment:
"😡 Any test, comparison and evaluation of dietary supplements, is irrelevant marketing, to promote this advertiser's own particular product choice. I'm not saying any of the advertised products are good or bad. But if it hasn't been evaluated by consumerlab.com (https://www.consumerlab.com/), this ad doesn't count. 🧐"

I always check with ConsumerLab first.
September 6, 2024

I buy a lot of supplements and always check with consumer lab. Their information is eye opening about the amount of poisons and bad ingredients a lot of supplements contain, including those which don't contain anything that they claim on the label. Supplements and vitamins are expensive and I don't have the money to waste on useless and possibly harmful products. Thank you Consumer Lab

On their home page they label themselves "Independent Tests and Reviews of Vitamin, Mineral, and Herbal Supplements". This is what I used to rely on them for. The pandemic was the beginning of the end of their focus on testing vitamins/minerals/supplements, as they would publish endless reviews of N95 masks month after month and not do any lab tests of vitamins and supplements. I now see them as a combination of Consumer Reports, health and medical advise reviews, and a little bit of vitamin and supplement testing. I can review the medical literature myself. I need them to do the lab tests to tell me if my supplements contain what they claim and don't contain harmful contents.

I refer to ConsumerLab for any and every question I have for nutrition, nutrition supplements, and wellness products! Authoritative, thorough, referenced, and extremely well organized information. In addition to all this valuable information, we then get a product listing tested for strength, purity, dose, cost, etc. to aid us in choosing the appropriate product (and choosing wisely). [The only products I 'ever' choose are those that pass the ConsumerLab testing! [And a final bonus: ConsumerLab will always inform its readers of important updates on everything they report on; so staying up-to-date on the most current information available is made easy.]
