I trust Consumer Lab
July 12, 2022

Consumer Lab is a source of health information that I can trust - a rarity these days. I originally became a member years ago to read reviews and info about supplements, but I continue to learn so much more. In particular, CL has been a reliable resource throughout the COVID crisis. There is always something in the emails that interests me, usually several items. Keep up the good work, Consumer Lab!

Mostly Good information
July 11, 2022

Good. Good sound reviews and articles.
A bit disappointed in the one sided Covid and Vaccine articles, though.

Suggestion
July 11, 2022

I enjoy reading reviews and always look to your website for info before purchasing any new supplement, and been using your site for a few years. There are many other supplements that I do not find on your website, and I hope you will expand your reviews to include more.

In the main, I find this to be a wonderful resource. I appreciate learning about the products you have tested, and your results have influenced buying habits for many products. For all of that, five stars!

I understand that you cannot be all things to all people, but I sometimes find that specific products tested were not anything I use or recognize as something seen in the Midwest. Another issue is that some of the studies you cite of how certain nutrients or commodities affected people are based on such small numbers of subjects that I doubt their validity. Occasionally you flag those studies, but (I suspect) not as often as you should.

Nonetheless, keep on doing so much good work.

Great information
May 4, 2022

I have not bought items due to ConsumerLab's information. Elderberry is one such vitamin--no significant evidence that is does what some companies say on commercials.
The only thing I have noticed lately is there are not as many products reviewed. One example is multivitamins, previously you reviewed New Chapter and it is not listed currently.
In general I trust and enjoy reading everything you post.

Thank you Susan for your kind words about ConsumerLab. We appreciate your support as a member. We do test many New Chapter products https://www.consumerlab.com/new-chapter/ but, unfortunately, are not able to test the same brands, along with new ones, each time we repeat the category for review.

I always consult supplement product reviews before purchasing. I only wish there were more brands included with each review.

ConsumerLab.com is an invaluable tool for me when I'm going to purchase vitamins and other supplements. Their evaluations
Are extremely thorough and unbiased. Besides reviewing the most popular brands, ConsumerLab provides a great deal of
Scientific data as part of each review. I recommend this website to everyone... definitely worth the more-than-reasonable cost of membership!

I find the information useful when I look for a supplement. The information has references to studies and tests of products. This is very helpful when there is so much information floating around the internet.

Been a member for a number years and rely on their ratings and articles on health related issues. Excellent coverage of Covid in all respects. They have showed areas where supplements can be dangerous too, i. E. foreign stuff (heavy metals and others). A great resource for all.

CL labs saves time
April 4, 2022

I have been a member of ConsumerLab for several years and find it has saved me hours of research on supplements, health issues and food products. I really appreciate that the pros and cons of the latest research on products is referenced and presented in a way that a non medical person can understand. The non-biased research is educational and has helped me make informed decisions about my health.

Awesome resource for up to date reviews and analyses of many foods, vitamins and supplements. It's a go to resource before spending money blindly on those items. The information I have found in the website has informed me many times on what to purchase.

CL is my go to for supplement facts and that is important because products can be advertised for all sorts of miracles and may not have any truth about their claims nor ingredients. My recommendation for CL is to not group all B vitamins into a lump and be more specific to each and I would like to see lab results for oils such as jojoba, sweet almond oils, coconut oil, etc.

Thanks for your nice review and suggestions, Priscilla! We do have a review of coconut oils (at https://www.consumerlab.com/coconut-oil/) and many other oils, with more on the way. Our B Vitamin Review does breakout the single B vitamin supplements, but there are also many combinations (B "complexes"), making it hard to separate these due to the extensive overlap -- but we'll certainly keep your comment in mind.

Invaluable!
March 7, 2022

As a member from early on, I happily keep up my membership for peace of mind. With no way of knowing what's actually in a product underneath the sales hype and glitzy packaging, I've been known to look things up while shopping. Who doesn't love a company that removes the worry factor? Because toxic ingredients are in our everyday products—i am grateful that ConsumerLab vets under-regulated products for us all.
