Any time I am considering a supplement, I check with Consumerlab first. I believe this website has reliable information
Thank you so much, Alice, for your feedback. We're thrilled to hear that you trust ConsumerLab as your go-to resource for supplement information.
We've found your website to be very helpful for years now. We are not on any, social media sites, and don't wish to be. Hence, we don't really care what others have to say about various health aids, just the facts, such as you present from your testing. We trust your information, just as others trust the "USP" logo on various supplements. We understand that you can't test all brands of some supplements, so we suggest some to you occasionally. We buy both from brick and mortar vendors and online, so we like to know what to rule out before purchase, as some returns can be difficult. Thanks for your help, and keep up the good work.
Thank you for your kind words and continued trust in our work. We appreciate your feedback and your approach to making informed decisions about supplements. Understanding that you value straightforward, factual information, we remain committed to providing comprehensive and reliable testing results.
We also appreciate your suggestions for supplements to test and will continue to do our best to cover a broad range of products. Thank you for sharing your buying habits with us; insights like these help us tailor our testing to be as helpful as possible for our members.
Thank you for being a valued member of our community, and we look forward to continuing to serve your needs.
Most of the reports are helpful. I look forward to the monthly reports
Hi Sandra, thank you for the review. ConsumerLab is glad the reports are helpful, and it is great to hear the monthly updates are something you look forward to. If any report could be clearer or more useful, please don't hesitate to reach out.
If I refrigerate olive oil, it comes out solid. You may want to take a second look at Bone Health Restore which now has K2 elite whatever that means. I wrote them and their testing shows K2 at 200 which is why rejected(less than 200) from Life extensions. Maybe elite form of K2 helps. Claude here
I buy a lot of supplements and always check with consumer lab. Their information is eye opening about the amount of poisons and bad ingredients a lot of supplements contain, including those which don't contain anything that they claim on the label. Supplements and vitamins are expensive and I don't have the money to waste on useless and possibly harmful products. Thank you Consumer Lab

The information that consumerlab publishes has been very helpful and educational in helping me making choices in using nutritional supplements. I have been paying for this service for many years. People come to me for nutritional advice and consumerlab is a key source of information I use to help other people address health issues. In my research, I have seen this service quoted many times by other practitioners. It is well respected all over the world.
Thank you for your continued support and for sharing your positive experience. We're honored to serve as a key resource in your nutritional consultations and to be a part of the health journey for you and those you advise.

We look forward to continuing to provide you with trustworthy and comprehensive information on supplements.
I have a number of diagnoses, some the standard variety, eg, CVD, post STEMI, osteoporosis. Others are less so and don't always have standard recommended treatments, eg, autoimmune scalp disease (LPP), restless leg syndrome (mine is "atypical," so the usual tx don't work well for me), dry eye, dry and wet AMD. All of these have OTC supplements and tx that can and/or should be used to help the condition. So, ConsumerLabs has been extremely helpful to me in selecting products that may help and then, of those, products that are best, or at least better, in their class. Thank you very much!

I often read consumer labs reports on topics of interest.
I would like to be able to influence not only the type of products tested but also the type of tests conducted on supplements.
Thanks, Guy. ConsumerLab appreciates your input on what to test and how to test. Feedback is reviewed for future updates, though specific additions cannot be guaranteed.
I refer other Facebook visitors to go to ConsumerLab.com almost daily. Specifically, when I'm scrolling down my feed and encounter ads for supplements, medicine and such, I always leave this comment:
"š” Any test, comparison and evaluation of dietary supplements, is irrelevant marketing, to promote this advertiser's own particular product choice. I'm not saying any of the advertised products are good or bad. But if it hasn't been evaluated by consumerlab.com (https://www.consumerlab.com/), this ad doesn't count. š§"
Thank you for your incredible support! Weāre honored that you recommend ConsumerLab.com to others so frequently. Your commitment to sharing reliable information with your Facebook community means a lot to us. Thanks for being such a strong advocate!
When in need of facts about vitamins et al Consumed Lab is the place to go!Edward
Thank you, Edward! Weāre thrilled to be your go-to source for reliable facts about vitamins and more. We appreciate your support!
I originally went to Consumer Lab for supplements actual content vs. stated content and contaminates. Now I look at safe upper limits, what the supplements do or not do, and side effects. Rating other products related to health, like sunscreen, water filters, and PFAS in dental floss are good to know.

The information on this site is invaluable. I check it for information on every supplement, body care product and some food items (like olive oils) before I purchase.

I refer to ConsumerLab for any and every question I have for nutrition, nutrition supplements, and wellness products! Authoritative, thorough, referenced, and extremely well organized information. In addition to all this valuable information, we then get a product listing tested for strength, purity, dose, cost, etc. to aid us in choosing the appropriate product (and choosing wisely). [The only products I 'ever' choose are those that pass the ConsumerLab testing! [And a final bonus: ConsumerLab will always inform its readers of important updates on everything they report on; so staying up-to-date on the most current information available is made easy.]

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.
