ConsumerLab.com Reviews Iron Supplements

ConsumerLab.com, White Plains, NY, released the results of its product review of iron Supplements. Seventeen of the 19 products passed on all parameters. However, one product—a store brand sup­­plement from a major pharmacy chain—contained only 73% of its claimed 27 mg of iron per tablet. Another product, which was specifically marketed for use by women, listed additional vitamin and herbal ingredients and contained lead at a level in excess of 0.5 micrograms per daily serving.
