Consumer Labs is my first stop when researching all supplements and any foodstuff. I base all my choices (and recommendations to family and friends) on their reviews. I am a very healthy, fit 70+ year old who trusts this resource. It's worth the fee to have all their research available to me. Keep up the good work!
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.

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.
Am grateful each time I access the ConsumerLab site. It provides me with detailed, accurate information on the various supplements I choose to take. I am always surprised by the number of companies that do not measure up to their own advertising! Thanks for "having my back" when selecting supplements…I count on your knowledge & integrity.

I sometimes see items on you prime choice picks that are not easy to find or do not exist. Case in point, anything made by Rexall. I finally found that Rexall is through the same company that owns Dollar Store. But I could not purchase your 1st choice. Can you include a link to purchase items like LabDoor does?
Please test more choices of each product. Looking at Amazon can help you narrow your choices if you look at the number of purchases of particular items.
Consumer Lab site is easy to use, providing immediate access for members to get answers to questions.
One particular feature I find so so so useful is this. When the newsletter comes, and I click on the item I am interested in, the website takes me to the heart of the answer that was highlighted in the newsletter. Although I usually go back and skim through the rest of the researched article, I have already had access to the answer I was looking for.
This organization provides an enormous benefit to its members.
Thank you!
I feel I really get my money's worth subscribing to Consumer Lab. All product reviews include information from the most recent scientific literature and studies, so I trust their product recommendations.
Can't recommend. Tried to sign up for the 5-day free trial that the terms stated would not charge my card until after the 5-day trial ended yet they tried to charge my card $59.95 right after I put in my card info and hit Submit. Such a bad business practice to charge you at the start of a "free trial"! Who does that? Luckily my bank automatically declined the charge as suspicious before they could take the money out and it gave me a payment error message. What free trial charges you upfront so you have to ask for your money back within 5 days? This isn't what a FREE TRIAL is and your terms even indicate I shouldn't be charged until after the trial is up!
Your site provides superb, detailed information on all products you review. In addition, your narratives are highly readable (and even captivating!) I have been subscribed for several years and wouldn't even consider giving up my subscription.

I heard about this from the Dr. Zorba Pastor article in the newspaper. That was years ago. I agree with his review, accurate and thorough. It is my 'go to' before I shop or medicate.

Very accurate and excellent research and information. I have used them for years and the cost of membership has paid for itself over and over now that i am getting the best supplements for my dollar. Love love love this site.

I'm happy to have a place to learn. Really like the lectures explaining what various vitamins and supplements do. My family and friends regularly ask me to tell them what I've learned. And what is recommended and the info is valuable! Thank you!
Thank you for your review, Mary. We appreciate your support!
I highly value your research and tell my friends about your publication.
Thank you for your service.
Thank you for that nice review, Hannelore. We're glad that you appreciate our work.
The newsletters are e-mailed and just the right frequency. I open them and read them and then follow the links to changes or new info that I'm interested in. I often use the test results - especially the Top Picks are very helpful. When I'm interested in getting help with a specific health problem, I like that there are articles I can search for; the search applet is good. I also benefit from the comments section and I think it's so great that CL responds to those. My only complaint is that I wish I didn't need to sign in before clicking on a link. Why can't I sign in after clicking and still be taken to that info?
Thank you very much for sharing that, Linda. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
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. If you would like to cancel, please email subscription@consumerlab.com with your name and email and we will process your request (typically within 1-2 business days).
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/
