The C.A.M. Report
Complementary and Alternative Medicine: Fair, Balanced, and to the Point
  • About this web log

    This blog ran from 2006 to 2016 and was intended as an objective and dispassionate source of information on the latest CAM research. Since my background is in pharmacy and allopathic medicine, I view all CAM as advancing through the development pipeline to eventually become integrated into mainstream medical practice. Some will succeed while others fail. But all are treated fairly here.

    Dr. Tod Cooperman, who is president of the third-party product analysis company, ConsumerLab, states that one in 4 products tested by his company is problematic in one way or another, and more than half of multivitamins tested do not meet what is printed on the labels.

    So, which companies reliably provide quality products?

    Since I don’t subscribe to ConsumerLab, I never knew — until now.

    A report by Dr. Cooerman’s company quoted on FunctionalIngredients.com identifies Centrum, Nature’s Way, Schiff, and Nature Made as companies that deliver on quality and reliability.
