SAMe comes up short
Six of 13 supplement products tested contain less SAMe than labeled, ConsumerLab.com announces. SAMe results join those of glucosamine/chondroitin, ginkgo biloba and saw palmetto featured on the site and on eNutrition.com, which will halt sales of failed products. One-year licensing agreement makes the retailer the first to use the ConsumerLab.com Seal of Approved Quality. Recent University of Maryland study finds similar discrepancies for glucosamine/chondroitin products (1see item, p. 19). ConsumerLab.com will release a report on vitamin C in April
