When it comes to nutrition advice, there is a lot of confusion. I am so happy that I can always turn to consumerlab for clarity. The research-based information has been tremendously helpful.
An MD originally mentioned consumerlab.com so I began subscribing about 8 years ago. I've learned a lot. In addition to test results on supplements, the site provides valuable background information and even some health-related alerts before I hear about it on the news.
Thank you for letting us know, Dianne. It’s always nice to hear how our information is helping our members.
This is my Go To website whenever I am looking for info regarding the supplements I take... It's great to know which products truly have what they say they have in their formulas.
Thank you for that nice review, Susie. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
Each reading results in diminished dumbness, do not ever recall saying "I knew that.".
Thanks Charlie. We're glad that you are enjoying your ConsumerLab membership!
I always go to consumer lab before purchasing a supplement. I appreciate the easy access to scientific studies and references. As a retired chemist, I realize the importance of research and references.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Joanne!
I depend on CL as a dependable reference when choosing vitamins or sourcing some health information. I would very much appreciate a review of Canadian vitamins and Thyrovanz and other OTC desiccated thyroid options especially now that I may have difficulty accessing the rx desiccated thyroid I use. Post thyroidectomy.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab. Thanks for letting us know.
I do like consumer labs reports. I realize not every substance or company item can be reviewed
The information provided is clear and beneficial
Thank you for your feedback, Ron!
I've been a member for years. The work is trustworthy. I think there should be more range in products and brands surveyed. The website is a bit confusing to navigate. Otherwise, ConsumerLab has depth and substance and reliability.
Thank you very much for sharing that. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support. We will be launching a new website this year which will have many new features to search and navigate our information.
The title says it all. I've been using it for years and I couldn't be happier!
Thank you for that nice feedback, John!
Consumer Labs has been a good resource for information about OTC drugs. Before I buy any brand, I always check Consumer Labs for their recommendations. They thoroughly check the products for safety, list their findings, and I like that. Then I can feel confident I am buying a safe product.
Thanks for letting us know, Steve. That's exactly why we are here.
I appreciate the access to the encyclopedia where I always find what I am looking for. The reviews of supplements have determined my choice of brands.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Sharon. Thanks for letting us know.

I enjoy reading your Reports, but especially like your reviews of supplements, etc. Often however, I wish there were more reviews.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Michael! We actually have more Reviews now than ever.
It's extremely valuable to have the ability to access independent, evidence-based evaluations not just of supplements but of what is currently found to be helpful for different disorders. Well worth the money!
I have been a member for some years now, and I want to say how grateful I am for ConsumerLab. The independent testing that is done has informed so many of my purchases and has helped me make decisions on which supplements to take and at what doses, and so much more. From helping me choose the right cocoa powder to the right calcium for me, ConsumerLab is there having done their independent testing, and I can't begin to tell you how much I rely on that! Thank you sincerely and deeply and please keep up the great work!
Thank you very much for sharing that, Pamela. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
They are always up to date on resources and recent studies on supplements and medicines.
Easy to read and understand
Thank you for your feedback, Dave!
I never buy supplements without first checking this site's reviews - and always get a lot of extra info I was not thinking about. It would be helpful howevr, if more items from companies like Vitacost, and stores like BJ's, were covered.
I never buy supplements without first checking this site - and always get a lot of very useful info I was not thinking about. I wpould like to see more reviews from stores like BJ's and sites like Vitacost. Other positive notes: shipping is always very fast, and service by phone is exceptional.

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 [email protected] 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/
