CL Rates 12 Multivitamins as 'Unapproved'
NEW YORK— Multivitamin lab tests showed discrepancies between label claims and product, according to ConsumerLab.com , which examined 60 multivitamins sold in the United States and Canada, including three for pets. These results, which found one pet multi was contaminated with lead and many products contained levels of vitamins or minerals that exceed daily tolerable upper intake levels, highlights the need for supplement manufacturers to run test on finished goods before putting them on the market.
However, most (48) products earned an “approved" rating from ConsumerLab.com. Of those that didn’t pass ConsumerLab.com’s review, eight multivitamins contained less of an ingredient than claimed, two contained more than claimed, tablets of another multivitamin failed to properly disintegrate. When ConsumerLab.com reviewed labels, if found three supplements listed ingredients in ways that did not comply with FDA requirements.
The report also found no connection between price and quality. Many inexpensive multivitamins (ranging in price from 3 to 14 cents per day) passed every test. At the same time, several relatively expensive products—some costing more than 50 cents or even over $1.00 a day— failed to pass ConsumerLab.com’s review.
Among pet supplements tested by ConsumerLab.com, one product that costs 8 cents per day was “approved." Two pet supplements failed. One was contaminated with 7.45 mcg of lead per tablet. This product has been tested by ConsumerLab.com in two previous reviews, and the amount of lead has increased over the years. The other pet product contained 32-percent less vitamin A than the label claimed.
ConsumerLab.com tested multivitamins for key nutrients, lead contamination, and proper labeling. Tablets were also checked to make sure they would break apart properly when consumed.
This year, ConsumerLab has released tests on red yeast rice, vitamin D, iron, coenzyme Q10, curcumin, and plant-based essential fatty acids (EFAs).
