About this site: Walk into any drugstore, and you'll probably find a confusing array of supplements. With so many products to choose from, it's hard to know just what you're getting. ConsumerLab.com conducts independent tests on herbal and dietary supplements to determine whether products (like ginseng, SAMe, and calcium) actually contain the active ingredients listed on the label, and which brands have potentially dangerous levels of contaminants. (http://www.consumerlab.com/)

-  Pluses: You can join an email list to receive monthly updates on new product reviews.

-  Minuses: There are still relatively few reviews available to date.

-  Best feature: Laboratory Test Results are broken down into categories like herbals, minerals, vitamins, and sports supplements.
