Invaluable information
March 31, 2020

I check Consumer Lab before I buy just about any vitamin or supplement. Besides just testing these items they also pull together extremely valuable research and information related to these items. I have been a member for many years and find it completely worth the price.

Consumerlab great research tool
March 31, 2020

Consumerlab site is a great resource for assessing supplements and meds; good to know they are out there and making the manufacturers tow the line... knowing someone is watching. I am a "believer" and use a number of supplements and have benefitted from them. But I do want to know that these products are clean, free of contaminants, and contain what the label says. My one criticism is Consumerlab's habit of emphasizing (headlining) one or two incidences of possible side effects of a supplement that is probably used by tens or hundreds of thousands of people. These cases might be worth mentioning, but it should be noted that one or a very few possible adverse effects are hardly relevant to the majority of users. If prescription medicines from pharmaceutical companies were held to such a standard, there would be no drugs available at all.

Canadian products
March 31, 2020

I would like to see your reviews contain more Canadian made products. Most reviews have little relevance for me as they are not sold in Canada.

Useful Information Site
March 31, 2020

I looke up hurbs and suppliments on this site on a regular basis. The cost of membership is well worth the amount of information that ConsumerLab provides. Not all brands are reviewed and not all suppliments are reviewed, but every year more and more brands and suppliments are added. Wkhenever possible, I purchase the brands the ConsumerLab recomends, and reguardless of what I ultimately purchase, I alsways check with ConsumerLab first. Also, ConsumerLab provides information of what the suppliments are, what they are used for and all the studies that have been done on the particular suppliment. I know of no other website that provides this inormation.

Excellent reference
March 31, 2020

Consumerlab pulls together research from various sources to shed much needed light on supplement quality and usefulness for various conditions. Also highlights potential and real dangers from misuse. I use it all the time. My only complaint is they don't test enough Canadian supplements.

Articles
March 31, 2020

I love reading your encyclopedia articles on the effects of all herbs and chemicals but you should have more, as information accumulates about old products. And there should be more articles on things that come on the market. Sometimes there is no information on things I look up. For example, "petasins" was one thing I could not find. Just look through a catalog of a company like "Swanson's" to seewhat couldbe reported on.

Excellent source of information about health and nutrition-related products. Grateful for links to both peer-reviewed articles and grey literature in areas of emerging knowledge. Disappointed sometimes that my brand is not included in a review (even when of large market share - e.g. Nature's Bounty vitamins and others).

Exceptionally Valuable Resource
March 31, 2020

My Consumer Labs subscription is worth every penny. One of the more valuable aspects is email updates. It allows me to stay current on research on dietary supplements. I appreciate the reviews of supplements when I need to make a recommendation on something specific. The encyclopedia is also an excellent reference.
