I realize you can't test every product/brand out there. That being said, I seem to be using brands of vitamins/supplements that more often than not, are not included in your testing (I was previously a member, but dropped my membership for this reason. I recently signed up again, but am finding the same situation).
I appreciate the information shared on Consumer Lab and use it before making any supplement purchases. I do wish they were able to test more products in each area and provide updates for those products ranked as a best but are no longer available.
Thank you for that nice review, Connie. We're glad that you appreciate our work.
Generally very good experience - I have been a member for about 10 years. The information is sound and scientific. I often recommend their services to friends.
Thank you very much for sharing that, Chris. We are very glad that you appreciate the work we are doing. We appreciate your support.
CL has been such a valuable resource over the years, both to keep updated on the latest supplement related research and of course to know which supplements are safe and have accurate labeling.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, David. Thanks for letting us know.
I always check consumerlab.com before buying any new supplement. Great info.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Madeline!
I've subscribed for as long as ConsumerLab has been in existance. I want to say 20 years? I've used it in teaching librarians how to research for consumer health information and even for medical professionals to do the same. Now I mainly use it to check everything and anything I may consider taking for my own or family and friends' health. Great information and excellent citation and verification processes. I'm very happy.
Thank you for that nice review, Diane. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support and for being a longtime member!
Excellent in every way. Highly recommended!
Site contains more info than anyone would ask for.
I never buy any vitamins or supplements without running them thru consumerlab.com
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
In general my experience is looking up whatever information CU Lab presents and it has always been informative and helpful.
I have no experience with any personal questions at time.
You do a good job!
Thank you, Patricia. We're glad that you are enjoying CL!
As a physician, I find this a valuable resource. I wish you reviewed more Vitamin World products as they are popular around here.
We're glad to hear that ConsumerLab.com is helpful to you, Ellyn. Please feel free to shoot us suggestions on products in the future.
We sincerely appreciate the depth and thoroughness of your reviews. Cannot think of anything more necessary in this society and time in history.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Holly!
Good to have facts I can trust- it's the wild west in supplements
Thanks Michele. We're glad that you are enjoying your ConsumerLab membership!
After learning the hard way, I've made a point to search your treasure trove of information before purchasing any supplements. This is more important now than ever as fancy packaging with false claims conceal faulty products.
Thank you for that nice review, Tina. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
Consumerlab.com is my go-to site for objective information about supplements and their usefulness or lack of usefulness, and for side effects and interactions. Kudos for a unique and comprehensive source of accurate information. The occasional updates that are pushed to my email are much appreciated, as they cause me to re-evaluate and update supplements for my own use.
We're glad that you are enjoying your membership to ConsumerLab, Alan. Thanks for letting us know.
It helps to know which supplements are what they say they are. Additional information on what works and what doesn't as well as risks or dangers in taking certain supplements is essential.
Thank you, Catherine B. We're glad that you are enjoying CL!
In light of all the spin, misinformation and bs I'm bombarded with on commercials all day, everyday, I'm secure in the fact, I have a place
Like ConsumerLab, I can go to and get the facts. No biased opinions, no blown out of proportions claims, just the educated truth backed up by
Studies and test trials. Been a member for years and have NO plans to quit.
Thanks for letting us know, Bob. That's exactly why we are here.
I rely on Consumer Lab testing and advice. There is too much bad medical information on the internet so it is nice to have a site based on science..
Thank you for that nice review, Cynthia. We're glad that you appreciate our work. Thanks for your support.
I always look forward to new reviews posted on ConsumerLab. The topics hit current popular interest, but love referencing the website's data on previously reviewed products as well. Thank you for providing reliable information!
Thanks, Kelly. We're glad that you are enjoying your ConsumerLab membership!
When I have a question about food or medication safety, I trust that ConsumerLab will have scientifically-based information.
Thank you for that nice feedback, Linda!
Great information and detailed explanations. Product comparisons are priceless. Science reviews are excellent.
We're glad that you enjoy ConsumerLab.com. Thank you for posting your comments.
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/
Answer: Hi Barbara - You can give a gift membership to ConsumerLab.com from this page: https://www.consumerlab.com/giftcerts/. We have a link to this at the bottom of every page, but the font is a bit small. Hope that helps.
