Supplement Check

Most of the supplements sold in the United States are not regulated by the Food and Drug Administration. This means that you're essentially taking the word of the manufacturer that what's in the bottles you buy actually meets their claims. But for certain supplements there's now a way to confirm that what you're buying is the real deal. Consumerlabs.com offers an unbiased, scientific examination of several vitamins and supplements. Not only does Consumerlabs confirm that the dosage of specific manufactured brands is correct, it also uncovers dangerous elements that could be lurking in our supplements -- such as lead and mercury.
