In "Gummy Vitamins Are Just Candy - The false promise of sweet, chewy supplements" in The Atlantic (January 22, 2024), ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., warns that while the taste of gummy vitamins can make them more appealing, they can contain just as much sugar as candy, and are more likely to have quality issues than capsules or tablets. "Vitamins and many other compounds degrade far faster in gummies’ half-liquid, half-solid state than in traditional pill or capsule form," Dr. Cooperman explained, "because gummies offer less protection from heat, light, moisture, and other contaminants." The article cites ConsumerLab's 2023 tests of multivitamins which found problems with all four of the gummy supplements it tested, including one gummy that contained less vitamin D than claimed, and three that contained twice as much folic acid as listed, putting them close to the upper tolerable limit for daily exposure.

"Here's What Psyllium Husk Really Does to Your Body" in Good Housekeeping (December 3, 2023) discusses the potential health benefits of psyllium fiber supplements. In the article, Franziska Spritzler, R.D., recommends that consumers choose products that have been tested by a third party such as ConsumerLab.com to ensure it contains the amount of psyllium claimed on the label and has been checked for contaminants. ConsumerLab tests revealed lead contamination to be a problem with many psyllium supplements, as discussed in its Psyllium Fiber Supplements Review, although ConsumerLab was also able to identify some products that were low in contamination, which were selected as Top Picks.

In "How to Choose Quality Vitamins and Supplements, According to a Dietitian" on VeryWellHealth.com (October 26, 2023), Regina C. Windsor, MPH, RDN, warns consumers that when it comes to dietary supplements, products "may not contain what the label says." Windsor recommends choosing a supplement that has been tested by a third-party such as ConsumerLab.com to help ensure it contains what it claims and has been checked for contaminants. She also advises consumers to learn about the clinical evidence, recommended dosages, and potential adverse effects and drug interactions for supplements before taking them – the type of information found in ConsumerLab’s Product Reviews.

"Fancy Multivitamins Cost $700 a Year. This $15 Option Is Just as Good." in The New York Time's Wirecutter (August 15, 2023), recommends ConsumerLab.com as one of the most widely recognized independent dietary supplement testing organizations, and the only top organization that exclusively tests products it buys directly from store shelves as a consumer would, rather than allowing manufacturers to submit samples for testing. The article cites ConsumerLab’s recent tests of multivitamins, which found that more than one-quarter of products contained more, or less, of one or more key ingredients than claimed on the label, and expensive brands were not an exception. “A vitamin’s price is definitely no indication of quality,” ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., cautions in the article. The best way to ensure the quality of a supplement, according to the article, is to check that the label bears a mark indicating it has been tested by an independent company, such as the ConsumerLab seal.

In "How a renowned fertility doctor profits from an unproven supplement" in The Washington Post (July 30, 2023), ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., warns that use of the term “pharmaceutical-grade” on DHEA (dehydroepiandrosterone) supplement labels is meaningless. "There are no set standards for it," Dr. Cooperman states. "When they say 'pharmaceutical-grade,' they're making up that term." In fact, use of this term is one of seven red flags ConsumerLab advises consumers to look out for when buying any supplement. See ConsumerLab's Review of DHEA Supplements for its test of products, discussion of the clinical evidence for and against DHEA supplementation for various uses, as well as potential side effects and interactions with DHEA.

In "Evaluating Supplement Quality with Dr. Tod Cooperman" on Carolina’s Neurosurgery & Spine Associates Back Talk Doc podcast (July 27, 2023), ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., and physician and board certified physiatrist Sanjiv Lakhia, D.O., discuss the importance of choosing products that have been tested by an independent third party, like ConsumerLab.com. Without such testing, Dr. Cooperman warns, “you’re at the mercy of the supplement company to do the right thing.” Dr. Cooperman explains which supplements are most likely to be contaminated with toxins such as lead, cadmium, and arsenic, why paying more for higher-cost supplements doesn’t guarantee safety or higher quality, and offers advice on shopping for supplements online. The episode explains why and how Dr. Cooperman established ConsumerLab.com to meet the need for independent supplement testing and provide consumers with reliable, in-depth information about natural products. It also mentions free resources on the site, such as CL’s RDA Calculator, which shows the recommended daily amounts of vitamins and minerals by age and gender.

In "Multiple factors can help, or harm, your sleep" (Wisconsin State Journal, June 17, 2023), Dr. Zorba Paster recommends checking ConsumerLab.com before choosing a melatonin supplement. Dr. Paster writes, "... go to my favorite website for this, consumerlab.com... The site provides the full rundown on melatonin and other supplements you may want to take. It costs money to sign up for access to the site, but if you’re like me, thrifty, you’ll recoup that cost by buying the best supplement for the best price." ConsumerLab tests each product in its Melatonin Supplements Review to confirm that it contains the amount of melatonin listed on the label and selects its Top Picks for melatonin based on quality, dosage and value.

"Are produce powders beneficial?" in The Brunswick News (March 17, 2023) cites ConsumerLab's Review of Fruits, Veggies, & Greens Supplements, which includes tests of Balance of Nature and other powdered “fruits & veggies” supplements, as well as products containing spirulina, chlorella, and other greens. As noted in the Review, these products are not substitutes for getting the recommended daily intakes of fruits and vegetables, as they provide, at best, only one-fifth of the adult daily requirement. "You can get more fruit (and fiber) from a single apple than from most fruit supplements, and at much lower cost," ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., notes in the article.

In the article "Iron Deficiency in Psychiatric Patients" in Current Psychiatry (March 2023), Stephanie Weinberg Levin, M.D. and Theresa B. Gattari, M.D. recommend checking ConsumerLab.com when choosing an iron supplement: "Advise patients to use iron products that have been tested by an independent company, such as ConsumerLab.com. Such companies evaluate products to see if they contain the amount of iron listed on the product’s label; for contamination with lead, cadmium, or arsenic; and for the product’s ability to break apart for absorption.” ConsumerLab purchases the products it tests directly from retail, as a customer would, unlike some third-party testing organizations that receive the products they test from supplement manufacturers. ConsumerLab's Iron Supplements Review includes test results and CL's Top Picks among iron supplements, including high-dose iron suitable for treating deficiency, as well as chewable, liquid, and slow-release products.

In "Do your homework before taking herbal supplements" Gonzales Weekly Citizen (February 21, 2023) dietician Leanne McCrate, RDN, LD, recommends ConsumerLab.com as a resource for independent tests of dietary supplements to ensure they contain what they claim and have been checked for contamination. McCrate also reminds consumers that "just because something is natural does not mean it is safe."

In "How Healthy Are Gummy Vitamins?" on NBC News TODAY (October 25, 2022), ConsumerLab.com's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., warned that the company's tests have shown that gummy vitamins are more likely to have quality issues than other types of vitamins, and, concerningly, may contain far more ingredient than listed on the label, which can increase the risk of adverse effects. ConsumerLab testing revealed that two gummy multivitamins contained twice their listed amounts of folic acid, putting them close to the upper tolerable limit for daily exposure. It also found that a popular children’s melatonin gummy contained twice as much melatonin as listed on the label.

"Dietary Supplements – The Wild West of Good, Bad, and a Whole Lotta Ugly" in Medical Clinics of North America (September 2022) by David S. Seres, MD, Dónal O'Mathúna, BSc(Pharm), and Walter L.

An expert report on supplements for brain health by the Global Council on Brain Health, in which ConsumerLab participated, concluded that there is no solid evidence supporting the general use of supplements to boost brain health or prevent or treat dementia or Alzheimer's disease, except for taking vitamin B-12 and/or folate to offset deficiencies in those vitamins. People who consume seafood providing omega-3 fatty acids have a lower risk of declining memory and thinking skills, but this benefit has not been well demonstrated with omega-3 as a supplement. Small and short-term studies have suggested benefits with other supplements but there is not yet conclusive evidence for these. The Global Council on Brain Health (GCBH) is an independent collaborative of scientists, doctors, scholars and policy experts from all over the world brought together by AARP.

In the report, ConsumerLab's president, Tod Cooperman, M.D., explains "I would say at least 30 percent of the labels are accurate. The other 70 percent aren't accurate or are just not telling you on the label what to expect."

The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics' (AND) position paper on Micronutrient Supplementation (November 2018) recognizes ConsumerLab.com as an independent organization that evaluates supplement quality. The AND is the world's largest organization of food and nutrition professionals. As the paper explains, it is the AND's position "...that micronutrient supplements are warranted when requirements are not being met through the diet alone. Those with increased requirements secondary to growth, chronic disease, medication use, malabsorption, pregnancy and lactation, and aging may be at particular risk for inadequate dietary intakes. However, the routine and indiscriminate use of micronutrient supplements for the prevention of chronic disease is not recommended, given the lack of available scientific evidence."
