Great info!
March 31, 2020

Love all the info! Great info on what each product does and has been verified to do as well as testing many products so I can be informed about whether or not I'm buying a good product. I would love for their test pool to expand a bit more though I do buy many products that I have seen in their reviews.

I have been a subscriber to CL for over 5 years and continue to find the information on this site to be both informative and useful. I would not take any supplement without first consulting CL, and their information to support health, wellness, and nutrition is second to none.

Easy to follow, yellow highlighted sentences help. Trust their reviews... very thorough. Wish they would include more brands, like Oregon's Wild Harvest and Pure essence.

I depend on Consumer Lab for reliable and accurate information for products related to the amount of listed active ingredients, contaminants, side effects, contraindications and summary of scientific studies for the efficacy for the claimed benefits. It is my go to source for all of this information in the one place.

Disappointed.
April 13, 2020

Asked you to review a popular fish oil, "Barleans" and I never heard back. This was a while ago. I could never understand why you left out that product as it is very popular around here. Other than that i have been a subscriber for a loong time so that is saying something.

We have tested many Barlean's products over the years and they are included in other reviews on our site (such as our review of flaxseed oil at https://www.consumerlab.com/reviews/Black_Currant_Borage_Evening_Primrose_and_Flaxseed_Oils_Sources_of_ALA_and_GLA_Omega-3_and_-6_Fatty_Acids/flaxseed/), but we just didn't happen to include them in our latest fish oil review. Testing is very expensive and involves multiple tests at different laboratories. Unfortunately, we can not test every product that is suggested.

I've subscribed to Consumer Lab for many years and rely on them for unbiased information about supplements PLUS all the great content on their site. Loved the masks (Covid) they recommended. I recommend them to my friends an family especially now with all the disinformation online. The lack of ads makes them so much more trustworthy.
Thanks for the great service!

Whenever I see an article on supplements claiming benefits, I always check it out at ConsumerLab. When I intend to make a purchase, I consult the ConsumerLab review of suppliers to be sure I am getting a quality product.

I've used ConsumerLab for many years. It's my go-to reference when investigating viability of different vitamins and other supplements. It is a lot of information but it's been such a help in determining what vitamins might work or not. It's been invaluable for me.

Long time user

I started using Consumer Lab shortly after its inception. I suspected there concerns about supplements that weren't being disclosed. Over the years I have modified my supplement use, changed sources and changed vendors based on Consumer Lab information. I am a member what the health industry defines as the oldest old and I'm forced to become aware my body reacts to certain supplements. Right now I'm not using any supplements and I feel better. If help in this arena, its inclusion will be appreciated. Also, reviews of oral hygiene products would be helpful. Since I have a sensitivity to fluorides, references to creditable studies relating to their efficacy would be nice.

I Rely On ConsumerLab
March 31, 2020

I have subscribed for years and this is the only subscription I don't consider giving up. I take a variety of supplements and check the write ups often. My only frustration is the annual member survey of supplements used. It needs to be simplified. It is just too onerous to complete for multiple supplements. I would also like some focus on popular combo supplements - i. E. do they contain the level of ingredients claimed.
