Vitamin D3
May 2, 2021

Bronson Vitamin D3 10,000 IU is your top pick for Vitamin D3 and I am very disappointed in your choice.
It is entirely unnecessary for a tablet to contain corn syrup solids, rice extract, potato starch and other fillers.
Also, there's no reason a Vitamin D supplement should contain three types of sweeteners.
Organic or otherwise, health-conscious individuals usually don't consume corn syrup or things like potato starch.

I almost purchased the product based on your recommendation without checking the ingredients list.

Also, it would be nice to have iodine nori products reviewed.
I do appreciate a lot a review on sardines; it shocked me that my favorite brand has so much heavy metals; thank you so much for your review!

I am a retired dietitian but still do consulting part time. I use Consumer Lab religiously. I have trusted Consumer Lab for years for reliable and accurate information. I have referred this resource to many other people including other health professionals. I personally use products and supplements they have recommended and tested. Consumer Lab was especially helpful during COVID with reviews of proper masks and myths regarding supplement use during this difficult time. I highly recommend this resource to anyone who is interested in keeping up to date on health and nutritional issues.

Reliable Reviews
April 2, 2021

Before trying a new supplement I always refer to ConsumerLab for their review and comments on it. They always tell me if that particular supplement contains what the label states and if it's safe. I have been subscribing to ConsumerLab for several years.
ConsumerLab doesn't shy away from warning if a supplement is harmful. They are often referenced by other companies for their reliable work. They exhibit
Integrity in their presentations.

Know what is in your vitamins
April 26, 2021

We want to take supplements and vitamins to better our life. It is good to know that someone is trying to make the supplier and manufacturer honest about what they are selling.

I was having trouble with my ConsumerLab subscription and a knowledgeable, delightful person named Evelyn, over the phone, in real time helped me & resolved the matter.
What a gift in these crazy, isolating tines!
Thank you, Evelyn!

Got Worse
April 23, 2021

It's much more difficult to navigate when receiving email updates. Articles require signing in and once signed in it takes whole lot of effort to locate the article. It used to point you exactly to the update. Now you need to scroll through all articles to locate the right one.

I was hoping to find the best and most reliable brands but the tests I've looked at so far (canned salmon, canned sardines, CoQ10) seem to only test store brands like Sam's Club or CVS or other low-quality brands. I can't find much testing of brands that tend to be higher quality and fewer additives (when it comes to supplements). This is a real disappointment.

Well worth the money
December 12, 2020

I can't imagine not having ConsumerLab to get the truth about supplements. They give the facts; none of the fluff manufacturers want you to believe. I don't purchase any supplements without checking ConsumerLab first. It has saved me a significant amount of money and I believe I am purchasing the best product available.

Comprehensive reviews - not intended to convince - but to inform - about what is known, what is uncertain - truly scientific perspective with a profound respect for facts.
