Love that they do their own testing. Have found many products that were virtually useless and other products that were what they were supposed to be. Always check here for info on virtually any health products.

My preferred and trusted source
March 31, 2020

I NEVER use any supplements that ConsumerLab hasn't tested and until I read their very thorough reviews of the pertinent literature. Thanks to CL, I have been able to fine tune my supplement regimen to include only those from which I am convinced that I will derive benefit. I have recommended their site to my physician and to friends. My subscription is some of the best money I've ever spent.

Go-to reference desk
March 31, 2020

This is a "must" site. Over the years, I've found 3 brands of different supplements I'd been buying regularly got a "Not Approved" on Consumer Lab. I was really surprised - the brands were Dr Weil, Whole Foods house brand, and some other costly resveratrol. They don't always list the stuff I get, but it's satisfying to see when your stuff gets their "Approved" label.

ConsumerLabs is my go-to site for information about vitamins, minerals, and supplements. It's robust in information, easy to navigate, and gives me much more confidence in deciding what to take and what not to take.

A site you can trust
March 31, 2020

In this age of no accountability for what you put in your mouth it is reassuring to have a site where science reigns and products are tested for the content they claim to provide. They can't test all products in a category but do enough to give me a choice.

I have used the Consumerlab site for years when searching for non-biased, void of sales motive, information. The convenience of the search box, where you enter any ailment or supplement, which takes you directly to the information you need is effortless. I don't have time to make sense of lengthy published studies, so very much appreciate the work done for you in summarizing the results of those studies. I also appreciate the fair synopsis added about the reliability of certain studies. I've recommended this site to many people in the health and wellness fields of work as well as friends. They all respond later with a thank you.

Quality information
March 31, 2020

I am a graduate student, ie - I'm poor. I get paid for working weekends. The rest of the time, I work for free. Internships. So, I've given up a lot of activities and subscriptions. Looking at ConsumerLab from a strictly financial standpoint, I CAN'T afford to give it up. I am a bit of a fitness fanatic. I work out in some fashion every day. I also supplement my diet with nutrients I know I am deficient in, as well as a few ergogenic aids that improve my physical and mental well-being. With all of the yahoos out there trying to cash in on people's urges to buy the 'next great thing' in the supplement industry, or just to stay healthy, it's absolutely AWESOME to be able to know what's in whatever it is that I'm purchasing. Not only that, but with ConsumerLab's reference chart at the end of each article, I can see where I get my best bang for the buck. Using that chart has saved me WAY more than I spend on the membership here. If you buy more than a couple supplements a month of any kind, you should be subscribed!

Consumer Lab has verified or warned against ingredients and contaminants in so many things people consume without knowing of their dangers... or their specific values. Because of my ability to check first with ConsumerLabs, I feel confident in what and why I buy. I have shared some reviews with physicians, who do not have time or access to this detailed info. They have been grateful for the education. Thanks for years of conscientious testing and information.

Personal experience

Very good so far. Most questions I have are answered thoroughly. However, I would like to see some testing done on OTC meds and supplements that are made in countries other than the USA.

CL provides crucial evidence-based information. I don't purchase supplements without first consulting CL. It provides the science behind the claims and separates fact from fiction. It provides information on the best dosage unit, warnings about overuse, and whether a product is priced correctly. It allows me to compare "apples to apples" in serving size, ingredients, and cost. It alerts me to contaminated products and those that don't have the listed amount of key ingredients. I depend on CL several times per week, and more frequently when there is a health crisis (or pandemic!) for guidance. The information is up to date and verified by URAC. I am a healthcare provider and I use CL reviews in recommending supplements to clients. In short, I LOVE CL!

My earthly bible
March 31, 2020

Nothing I enjoy more except reading about my yankees. You guys are the best. My wish is that medical terminology would be followed by a simple explanation so I wouldn't. Have to go to the dictionary and lose my train of thought. Am getting older and those memory pills as you have pointed out aren't cutting it.
