We monitor reviews for authenticity
Although I have benefitted from a lot of the reviews, I don't see some of my sources included like Stop Aging Now.
I would also like to see updates re improvements such as which chocolate producers have lessened cadmium in their products.
I have been with Consumer Lab for 10+ years. I always consult their findings before purchasing any supplement. They have studies on just about every supplement I've used.
They have pertinent information for me to stay healthy.
Thank you for that nice review, Michael. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support and for being a long-time member.
Great information and thorough but many Canadian products are not included for review.
Whenever faced with a medical or health question, or trying to decide between conflicting reports online, I always turn to ConsumerLab.com for their well-researched, timely and comprehensive articles. Not only have I learned (and utilized much of what I've learned), their site has helped to settle many an argument about medical information.
We're glad know that our evidence-based information is helpful to you, Elaine! Thank you for your nice review!
Love to know there is Consumer Lab out there looking out for us. I am enjoying emails and updates and being able to research subjects on my own. Fabulous and helpful information that help me make a well informed, unbiased opinion in the products I buy and use. You are much appreciated and well worth what you charge for this service. Keep up the good work. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Thank you so much for that nice review! We are here for all the reasons that you mention. Happy holidays!
You alerted me to unacceptable levels of lead in a liquid magnesium supplement. Unfortunately, it was one of the few times I read your review after receiving the product! Never again! I now religiously review products on your site before I choose a product. You reviews have guided me to make what I believe are healthful & beneficial products. I recommend your website at every opportunity!
We are very glad that we have been helpful to you, Elizabeth! Thank you for posting about that, and for recommending ConsumerLab to others!
In general, my experience has always been good. I really appreciate the work you do to keep us informed. I have one criticism, though, and that's about the website. When I sign in, for some weird reason, I don't remain signed it if I look at one of the information pages. So I have to sign in once again. Please, please, please fix this!
ConsumerLab.com has verified or warned against ingredients and contaminants in so many things that people consume without knowing of their dangers. Because of my ability to check first with ConsumerLab.com, I feel confident in what and why I order it. Thank you a lot for years of conscientious testing and useful information!
Thank you for that amazing review, Charles. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
I've been a member for many years. Most recently I've had a registered dietician tell me that she also uses your website as a credible source of honest information.
Thanks for your nice review, Cari. As our reviews cover the full range of dietary supplements as well as healthful foods (such as extra virgin olive oils, canned fish, dark chocolate, green tea, and more) we often hear that registered dieticians and nutritionists find ConsumerLab useful in their practices.
ConsumerLab is my go-to source for accurate information about supplements and their effectiveness, recommended dosages, potential side effects and comparison shopping. Backed up by US and international studies, their information is the most current and accurate available. The website is easy to use and you can search by product, health condition, key word and more. I wouldn't do without my subscription and recommend it without reservation.
Thank you, Virginia, for posting that nice review and for recommending ConsumerLab.
Whenever I am in doubt about a certain brand or the latest health hype or anything related to health, I check consumer lab. This makes me know I am well-informed consumer.
We're glad that our information is so helpful to you, Olivia! Thank you for your review.
I love using Consumerlab.com to find the latest information impacting my family's health. Your Covid coverage has been fantastic and I have turned to your site again and again to research the latest updates. I also research any supplements that I read about elsewhere to get the real truth behind the hype and I also really appreciate your testing of tuna, chocolate and other foods for contamination and excess nutrient/heavy metal contamination, it has changed my shopping habits! Thank you!
We’re very glad to know how we have helped you, Diana. Thank you for posting your review!
For years, I have relied on consumerlab.com to educate me and guide my purchases for anything from vitamin D to coffee and chocolate. I especially enjoy the chocolate reviews and accolades for dark chocolate, my favorite "medicine!" With COVID, I have found no better resource for updates on transmission risks, vaccine info and comparisons and especially for mask recommendations. I can't imagine how anyone can make a good mask choice without guidance from consumerlab.com. I have encouraged all of my friends to subscribe.
Thanks for that nice review and being a CL member, Kathy! We're very glad that our information is helpful to you.
ConsumerLab does testing on food supplements so that I know which ones contain what the label says and are not dangerous. They also compile information from many studies so that I can get the information that I need without having to spend hours checking out research.
Thanks for that nice review, Paul!
ConsumerLab is a "must have" for me. I do not purchase or take a supplement without first consulting. I have saved the cost of the subscription MANY times over & also made more Intelligent decisions. Getting ConsumerLab should be a non decision.
Thank you for that nice review, John. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support!
I have been a subscriber for many years and trust the information they provide. I follow their recommendations and have recommended them to others. I think they are providing an important service and doing an outstanding job.
We appreciate your trust in our information and take that responsibility very seriously, Judith. Thanks for your review.
I am very happy with my experience with Consumer Lab. I know I can go to them for information ( including studies performed) on supplements and nutritional products as well as product ratings.
We are pleased to know that you are enjoying ConsumerLab’s information, Sally. Thanks for letting us know!
Yes, I think that ConsumerLabs is doing a GREAT JOB of analyzing herbs and supplements. I find them to be a highly valuable tool in making choices on which products to choose and having confidence in those choices. The frequency with which new ratings are available is also excellent. I have recommended if frequently to others and they have also been very impressed with the information that ConsumerLabs provides. Thank you for providing this valuable product.
We're very glad to know that ConsumerLab's information is helpful to you, Cheryl. Thanks for posting -- and for recommending CL to others!
I just renewed my membership to ConsumerLab because I have found that their information is accurate and they are very quick to answer questions.
Thanks Helen. We try our best to answer questions from our members. We get a lot of great questions.
As a chemist, I appreciate sources from which studies are done and the statistical validity of the study results. I often look up substances that I might be interested in purchasing. Sometimes I wish more brands were included. Life Extension is a big supplement supplier and should be included as much as possible.
Thanks for your nice review, Joanne. We're glad that you appreciate our science-based approach. We'll keep your suggestions in mind.
