IIRC, ConsumerLabs.com has reported some deficiencies or other problems with some of their supplements in the past....
I don't trust 'em entirely.

Consumerlab is not a accurate source of anything. Just a bunch of former FDA officals looking for new work. (1) According to them LEF, Jarrow, and every company fails at something.

most companies do at one point fail at certain tests, the difference is the response...
source naturals response to a failure... do nothing
jarrows response... recall every single bottle containing said ingredient
go all conspiracy theory all you want, source naturals is only a 'decent' brand... not top tier.
consumer labs is not in the business of faking results, i assure you...
