Any time I am considering a supplement, I check with Consumerlab first. I believe this website has reliable information
Thank you so much, Alice, for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you trust ConsumerLab as your go-to resource for supplement information.
The information on this site is invaluable. I check it for information on every supplement, body care product and some food items (like olive oils) before I purchase. Save buying tainted products, products that have mis-information on their labels, toxic metals, etc. Their TOP PICKS are best info ever.

I originally went to Consumer Lab for supplements actual content vs. stated content and contaminates. Now I look at safe upper limits, what the supplements do or not do, and side effects. Rating other products related to health, like sunscreen, water filters, and PFAS in dental floss are good to know.

I found Consumer Lab years ago and have not been able to feel comfortable trying a new brand since unless checking with CL for information. They let me know if the new product does what it claims to do, whether it has in it what it claims to have, and DOES NOT HAVE lead or other contamination. Well worth the money to be given so much info on demand!

Have been a member for going on 10 years now. The information is very ggod & detailed but a little overwhelming. I usually receive an e-mail every day indicating the latest finding. Unless its something I am directly looking for I will end up deleting it. Am just getting to many e-mails and should be slimmed down to maybe 1 a week.
I have a number of diagnoses, some the standard variety, eg, CVD, post STEMI, osteoporosis. Others are less so and don't always have standard recommended treatments, eg, autoimmune scalp disease (LPP), restless leg syndrome (mine is "atypical," so the usual tx don't work well for me), dry eye, dry and wet AMD. All of these have OTC supplements and tx that can and/or should be used to help the condition. So, ConsumerLabs has been extremely helpful to me in selecting products that may help and then, of those, products that are best, or at least better, in their class. Thank you very much!

Whenever I have a OTC mineral or vitamin I always research it on this website. I want reliable, tested information to make the best educated decision and I find it no other place.

I wish I had more product review opportunities given to me so I can better appreciate the content. There are other products that I wish ConsumerLab would test.
With all the misinformation on the internet, I need consumer lab unbiased testing.

At ConsumerLab, we pride ourselves on providing unbiased, science-based testing and reviews to help you make confident decisions about your supplements. We're glad to be a trusted resource for you, and we appreciate your support!
Given that dietary supplements are totally unregulated, having access to ConsumerLab reviews bridges that gap quite nicely while also providing additional value with deep dives into existing scientific evidence for the efficacy of each supplement reviewed.
Very useful unbiased reports on their product tests and the findings. Knowing which supplement makers to trust is of crucial importance to me. I also like their informative newsletters about the latest research pertaining to various substances usually available as supplements. Can hardly imagine being without Consumer Lab as an aid now.
Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a thoughtful and positive review! We greatly appreciate your kind words and are thrilled to hear that Consumer Lab has been a valuable resource for you.
I find information very helpful when looking at products. The information is sometimes overwhelming as so much and wish they could test every brand but know that is not possible. Consumer lab has helped me decide which products to pick for our use.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
Consumerlab pulls together research from various sources to shed much needed light on supplement quality and usefulness for various conditions. Also highlights potential and real dangers from misuse. I use it all the time. My only complaint is they don't test enough Canadian supplements.
Thank you very much for sharing that, Gerald. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
I've been s subscriber for years. This is my go-to resource to check out vitamins and minerals hopefully before making a purchase. They can't review every product, of course, but what I can find. I study the data and try to make informed decisions.
Thanks for you review, Cynthia.
I always look forward to new reviews posted on ConsumerLab. The topics hit current popular interest, but love referencing the website's data on previously reviewed products as well. Thank you for providing reliable information!
Thanks, Kelly. We're glad that you are enjoying your ConsumerLab membership!

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/
