ConsumerLab.com is my 'go to' source for accurate and unbiased supplement information. When clients ask me about supplements, I check CL for the most up-to-date information. CL helps me assist my clients in making sound, scientifically based and knowledgeable decisions about supplements and is a beacon of truth in the tsunami of nutrition misinformation.

As an adjunct professor at FIU teaching exercise and nutrition, I truly embrace what ConsumerLab.com has done to educate and look out for the consumer's health on a topic so misunderstood and monetized.

"As a health & fitness consultant, I love ConsumerLab.com and recommend your subscription in all my national and local seminars, lectures and presentations, and have for years. When I speak at seminars the audience is always blown away when I tell them about the loose regulation of supplements, and then tell I them about ConsumerLab.com's findings. You guys are amazing! Thank you for everything you do!"

"I read a wide variety of available information on the efficacy of vitamins and supplements (including PubMed, peer-reviewed articles, and articles from credible and well-known publications) and none of them presents the consistently rigorous analysis of the quality of the science behind the product as Consumerlab.com.
Thank goodness you are providing this service. There is no other place to go to sort out the facts from the internet hype...thank you!"

"I use the information for purchasing supplements and to stay informed about what is going on in the world of supplements, legal actions, and everything in between.
ConsumerLab.com is the one site whose information I trust. I have found it to be thorough, easy to understand and my reliable place to go for information. In other words, I'm very glad ConsumerLab.com exists and I purchase products based upon the information I get there. Membership also makes a great gift.
Thank you ConsumerLab.com!"

"I refer to ConsumerLab.com whenever I want to try something new or have someone recommend something to me.
Recently my doctor recommended a product he had heard about, and a brand. I checked the brand against the other brands of that product. While it did contain the supplement, it didn't contain enough and was not highly rated. I have done the same thing with my pets and provided the Veterinarian with the test feedback. In their case, they had recommended the best one."

"I was happy to find ConsumerLab.com after reading about it in a book by Dr. Oz. I frequently use ConsumerLab.com for information on any supplements I need for myself and also for anything that relates to my clinical practice as a nurse. I threw out some supplements I thought were reliable when I found out they had lead in them. That was an eye opener!
I won’t buy a supplement now unless I see it has been tested and approved. Thanks to ConsumerLab.com reporting, I have found the brands that are consistently approved that I feel confident about. I have recommended ConsumerLab.com to friends, family and colleagues."

"As a 70-yr old with osteoarthritis, I take a lot of supplements. I always use ConsumerLab.com before I purchase a brand I'm not familiar with to make sure it has been approved by you.
I also like to check on how many pills make up the 'recommended dose' - do I need to take 12 a day (ugh) or will 3 of a different brand give me the same dosage? Price comparison between brands is also a bonus. Thanks for all the good work that you do. I really rely on you!"

"ConsumerLab.com reviews help me to choose quality brands of supplements to use for myself, or to recommend to others who may be taking supplements. I was particularly grateful for the magnesium supplement review which found a particular brand of magnesium citrate to contain unacceptable levels of lead. I was taking this particular supplement at the time and immediately stopped after reading ConsumerLab.com’s report. This saved both me and my girlfriend from the additional lead exposure.
I also appreciate the follow-up by ConsumerLab.com later in the year. After reading how the company handled the report, I won’t be purchasing products from them again unless they take their products’ purity more seriously.Thank you ConsumerLab.com."

"There are thousands of vitamin, herb and mineral supplements available from numerous retailers.
It is a confusing and often overwhelming marketplace! ConsumerLab.com provides the information I need to understand which supplements are best quality and which brands are consistently high in quality.
They also help educate me about the proper use of tested supplements."

When I order vitamins, I keep the ConsumerLab.com website open in browser#1 and use browser #2 for my order source. Before clicking on "Buy" in #2, I go to browser #1 to remind myself of why I'm buying in the first place, and choose a brand that has been tested at ConsumerLab.com when possible. Often ConsumerLab.com will also have information on which form of a supplement is most bioavailable. ConsumerLab.com is a valuable service.

The first day I joined ConsumerLab.com it helped me NOT give my dog a particular pet supplement after I learned they had lead in them. It helped me decide on a different brand that passed tests as a joint supplement for an older dog.

"I've been using ConsumerLab.com for several years now. I use it to make sure the supplements, teas, herbal products and anything else I use of that nature are safe, untainted and have in it what the product advertises.
I tell everyone I know about your website. I find it a very valuable resource."

As I regularly look to supplements and other aids for better nutrition, I find the ConsumerLab.com reports on many of those products to be invaluable. How else is a consumer to know?

Any supplement I plan on taking I check your listings for your analysis as to its efficacy and lack of contamination of the product. Just recently embarked on using a probiotic after much reading on the subject and looked for one which met your standards. I chose a product approved by you and found a local distributor and have been impressed with the results.
