ConsumerLab.com Reviews Memory & Sexual Enhancement Supplements
In its report on Memory Enhance ment Supplements, ConsumerLab.com, White Plains, NY, found significant amounts of lead in certain products on the market. The lead was found in supplements made with a specific form of ginkgo biloba. ConsumerLab.com also reported finding no active ingredient in a product claiming to contain huper­zine A, an ingredient of potential benefit in people with Alzheimer’s disease. A different huperzine A product passed the testing as did several products made with phosphatidlyserine or acetyl-L-carnitine, which also have potential memory-enhancing effects. Of the 13 ginkgo products that ConsumerLab.com selected for testing, only six passed the review by meeting criteria for ingredient purity, quantity and identity.
In another review, Consumer­Lab.com found only six out of 11 supplements used for sexual enhancement to contain key ingredients listed on their labels and meet other quality criteria. Products failed testing due to lead contamination or for containing lower levels of compounds than expected. The new Product Review of Sexual En­hancement Supplements also re­viewed clinical evidence for 35 different herbs and ingredients used in such products. Of these 35, ConsumerLab.com claims moderate or preliminary evidence of benefit was found for only 14 ingredients
