I depend on Consumer Lab
November 27, 2023

I feel I really get my money's worth subscribing to Consumer Lab. All product reviews include information from the most recent scientific literature and studies, so I trust their product recommendations.

Can't recommend. Tried to sign up for the 5-day free trial that the terms stated would not charge my card until after the 5-day trial ended yet they tried to charge my card $59.95 right after I put in my card info and hit Submit. Such a bad business practice to charge you at the start of a "free trial"! Who does that? Luckily my bank automatically declined the charge as suspicious before they could take the money out and it gave me a payment error message. What free trial charges you upfront so you have to ask for your money back within 5 days? This isn't what a FREE TRIAL is and your terms even indicate I shouldn't be charged until after the trial is up!

Superb research
September 11, 2023

I heard about this from the Dr. Zorba Pastor article in the newspaper. That was years ago. I agree with his review, accurate and thorough. It is my 'go to' before I shop or medicate.

Great source of info
August 1, 2023

I'm happy to have a place to learn. Really like the lectures explaining what various vitamins and supplements do. My family and friends regularly ask me to tell them what I've learned. And what is recommended and the info is valuable! Thank you!

ConsumerLab is the best!
July 31, 2023

The newsletters are e-mailed and just the right frequency. I open them and read them and then follow the links to changes or new info that I'm interested in. I often use the test results - especially the Top Picks are very helpful. When I'm interested in getting help with a specific health problem, I like that there are articles I can search for; the search applet is good. I also benefit from the comments section and I think it's so great that CL responds to those. My only complaint is that I wish I didn't need to sign in before clicking on a link. Why can't I sign in after clicking and still be taken to that info?

I have been a member for quite a few years and have found numerous studies and articles on products that were of importance to me or family. The explanations of how supplements work, why certain vitamins, minerals etc are important and what to watch out for have been so helpful. I can't count the number of times I changed what I was going to do based on research and information I read on the Consumer Lab website.

I am scrolling,, scrolling, scrolling only to get tiny segments of info. I can't see a complete assay of any item on one page only (like a label). This means I have to rely on manufacturers labels online. What's the point?
