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.
