Life-enhancement have a very bad reputation from what I have seen and heard. Have a look at their product over at consumerlabs
I read about that report, too...thank God for the likes of consumer labs!
Consumer Labs is not an adequate source of current information:
===============================================================
1- Consumer Labs is not even a lab, they outsource the lab testing to other no-name and possibly non ISO 17025 accredited labs. The fact is that they won't spill the beans on the labs they use so that we can verify proper laboratory ISO accreditation.
2- In fact the prices you pay are for marketing done once a year, since they don't continually test products for every batch.
3- The resveratrol tested at consumer labs was over two or three years ago. New imported material and products have not been tested since then by Consumer Labs.
4- Consumer Labs business model is a for profit model based on marketing results. Do not be confused to believe they are the same folks behind the non-profit Consumer Reports, because they are not.
5- As seen in recent hyped Consumer Labs press releases, they market 'results' or state that something bad was found in food/supplements even though they already know the FDA limits for the bad things were not met, they will use alarmist marketing to make folks subscribe to their information, or be tested.
===============================================================
So relying on Consumer Labs, sets you up for issues. Simply because they tested a product 2 years ago for a single batch, does not mean the current version of the product is safe at all. The fact is that the FDA allows skip-lot testing. Those 2 year old tests will only provide you a false sense of security.
What you need is a company that tests EVERY batch of material by an independent ISO 17025 accredited here in the United states.
Our company does that, you need to verify if your favorite company does that as well.
