“Overall informative and objective thus far”

sue g.
4/28/24

It is a good resource to start one's search of specific products. However, there are MANY cleaner, less toxic products out there in at least some categories (for example smaller businesses) AND where on earth is "Guthrie's Corner"...listed on fb page as the address?. The state should at least be given for transparency purposes. EWG's app for products I have heard is $$$$ motivated. Would love to see these apps reviewed.

“Won't test despite several subscribers request”

Rick H.
4/25/24

When reading about the various water filtering products approx. One year ago I requested that they also test the Clearly Filtered filters. They responded by reciting the Clearly Filtered manufacturer's published data rather than subjecting it to the same tests as the other products mentions. This month they, once again, tested several of the water filters on the market. In their statement they mentioned that several subscribers had requested that they test the Clearly Filtered filters. They once again responded by quoting the company's published data (that we are all capable of reading on our own). This still leaves the conclusion up to the subscribers to determine, which we can do without subscribing.

Very useful unbiased reports on their product tests and the findings. Knowing which supplement makers to trust is of crucial importance to me. I also like their informative newsletters about the latest research pertaining to various substances usually available as supplements. Can hardly imagine being without Consumer Lab as an aid now.

I sincerely appreciate the research, information, education and care that Consumer Lab provides its clients. I base my purchases on the reviews and ratings of Consumer Lab. There are too many products on the market that are not what they advertise, contain fillers, inferior or unsafe ingredients. Thank you for your research!

Consumer Labs is my first stop when researching all supplements and any foodstuff. I base all my choices (and recommendations to family and friends) on their reviews. I am a very healthy, fit 70+ year old who trusts this resource. It's worth the fee to have all their research available to me. Keep up the good work!

Given that dietary supplements are totally unregulated, having access to ConsumerLab reviews bridges that gap quite nicely while also providing additional value with deep dives into existing scientific evidence for the efficacy of each supplement reviewed.

I sometimes see items on you prime choice picks that are not easy to find or do not exist. Case in point, anything made by Rexall. I finally found that Rexall is through the same company that owns Dollar Store. But I could not purchase your 1st choice. Can you include a link to purchase items like LabDoor does?
Please test more choices of each product. Looking at Amazon can help you narrow your choices if you look at the number of purchases of particular items.

Am grateful each time I access the ConsumerLab site. It provides me with detailed, accurate information on the various supplements I choose to take. I am always surprised by the number of companies that do not measure up to their own advertising! Thanks for "having my back" when selecting supplements…I count on your knowledge & integrity.

I have been a subscriber for a number of years, and I am always impressed by both the depth and breath at which ConsumerLab.com reports out its findings on various products, especailly supplements. I know of no other source for this type of information. I also appreciate the opporutnity to recommend supplements for testing, as well as the direct contact with staff as on one occasion the report on NAD and its possible cancer implications.

Consumer Lab site is easy to use, providing immediate access for members to get answers to questions.

One particular feature I find so so so useful is this. When the newsletter comes, and I click on the item I am interested in, the website takes me to the heart of the answer that was highlighted in the newsletter. Although I usually go back and skim through the rest of the researched article, I have already had access to the answer I was looking for.

This organization provides an enormous benefit to its members.

Thank you!

Bronson Vitamin D3 10,000 IU is your top pick for Vitamin D3 and I am very disappointed in your choice.
It is entirely unnecessary for a tablet to contain corn syrup solids, rice extract, potato starch and other fillers.
Also, there's no reason a Vitamin D supplement should contain three types of sweeteners.
Organic or otherwise, health-conscious individuals usually don't consume corn syrup or things like potato starch.

I almost purchased the product based on your recommendation without checking the ingredients list.

Also, it would be nice to have iodine nori products reviewed.
I do appreciate a lot a review on sardines; it shocked me that my favorite brand has so much heavy metals; thank you so much for your review!

Consulting Consumerslab is my first task before I purchase any supplement, as there is no way to tell which is most potent, which are beneficial and which may be harmful without testing. The discussions, and reviews of recent studies are terrific. Honestly, I would be lost without my daily ConsumersLab email.

Although product tests and reviews may be of value, I get flooded, indeed inundated by endless unnecessary reports. Several attempts to unsubscribes were futile and couldn't find on the website how to cancel membership.

I know this review may look confusing. Explanation: I found their reviews confusing, as in, "One study found this; another found that, and so on and so forth. Also, consumerlab rated lycopene as a legitimate supplement, when in fact, the man who discovered it states that lycopene must be received by eating tomatoes---that if taken as a supplement, it destroyed in the stomach. The GREAT thing about the company is that when I called them for a refund, even AFTER the 30 day refund window had passed, they refunded me IN FULL, NO QUESTIONS ASKED. That is OUTSTANDING.

Hi Elliot. I just read the review you posted about ConsumerLab today. While I'm glad that we were able to help you easily get a refund, I hope that you appreciate that we work very hard to not only report reliable test information from our lab analyses, but to provide reliable clinical information. With regard to lycopene, for example, if you read our Review, we clearly indicate that the evidence for it "is indirect and far from definitive." Many people use lycopene, so we want to be sure they understand its limitations, as well as which products do or don't provide what they claim. We think that's better than not reporting at all on it. I hope that you will reconsider your rating of our site.

Sincerely,

Tod Cooperman, M. D.
President and Founder

I have been a member of Consumer Lab for many years. I check it at least weekly to learn about supplements and the research behind them. I don't buy any product that they review until I check to see if CL has tested it and recommends it as a Top Pick. The website is easy to navigate and has A LOT of information to help consumers on so many levels. I highly encourage people I know to become members and stay safe!
