I have been subscribing to their reviews for over a decade ($54/year)
Each review includes
- ~50 pages of science (about 95% correct interpretation)
- A tabular review of about 10% of the products on the market (those that paid to be reviewed)
- The prices per dose often range from 10 to 1
- A small % are rejected due to incorrect or contamination
- Often fails to notice that one is 3X to 10X more bioavailable than others
- Examples include Omega-3. Tumeric, Vitamin
- Rarely reviews bulk supplements - that are often 3X to 10X lower cost per dose
- Reviews are updated about once every 2 years
- I am unaware of any competition to their service
