slight correction. the subscription is for a year or two year.
not month. otherwise sounds very informative. hate the part that mfg. of supplements are foreced to pay to have their product "tested"
thank you.

Ellen's remarks pointed out an oversight that we made. We should have not have used the phrase "natural vitamins", because it causes confusion, and because all vitamins are somehow manufactured. There are no vitamin trees after all. We should have instead recommended vitamins that are food-based and minimally processed (preferably by companies outside of Big Pharma). Of course, the true health ideal is to have an organic diet that is so beneficial that vitamins are unnecessary. Did you have your 7 servings of organic fruits and vegetables today? Don't feel guilty, if not, for we have often been there too.

Anyway, we're editing our work concerning "natural" vitamins. By the way, it is true that completely synthetic vitamins, which are made purely in laboratories, are typically next to useless. Take for example that synthetic vitamin D can only be absorbed by about 50% of the population. For the rest, it merely puts a strain on the liver and kidneys. The natural source of vitamin D (sunlight) is absorbed by everyone safely and effectively (sunlight does not cause cancer (https://healthwyze.org/reports/213-sunscreen-lies-and-cosmetic-trade-secrets-or-why-you-ought-to-be-concerned-about-what-you-are-rubbing-on-your-skin)).

This replaces a critical article about the Consumer Lab organization that was written in 2010. Since then, we have reversed our position. The research work of Consumer Lab seems to be fair and balanced. In the interest of fairness to Consumer Lab, the critical article and some of the comments that were associated with it have been removed. We now give Consumer Lab our blessing. As we always tell our people, be a conscientious shopper, and be aware that some of their reports will be better than others. That's just life.''

No, it’s not, Mr. & Ms. Corriher. It’s not ‘just life’…not if you were ConsumerLab’s victim. I know, because we were a victim of their lies & arrogance, which continues to this day… The only antidote we had was your report, which we knew was accurate, based on experience. But after seeing your retraction, I wonder what they did to make you do that. You’re allowing dishonest people who run a dishonest organization for profit, to get away with lies. If you’d like the facts & details, please contact me privately.

Thank you…
