BOCA RATON, Fla., Dec. 4 /PRNewswire/ --ConsumerLab.com, LLC claims to
be a leading provider of independent test results and information to help
consumers and healthcare professionals evaluate health, wellness, and
nutrition products. But Renaissance Health Publishing, LLC -- the makers of
Revatrol, a red-wine 100MG resveratrol supplement -- is confused and
disappointed as to why a recent study by ConsumerLab.com on red wine
supplements analyzed a formulation of Revatrol that has been out-of-date
for months.
"Not only did they test an obsolete formulation, but Dr. Tod Cooperman
of ConsumerLab.com publicly disparaged our product. He insisted our product
name implied that it contained resveratrol, but that according to their
analysis it contains very little. Dr. Cooperman's statement was an outright
misrepresentation," says James DiGeorgia CEO of Renaissance Health
Publishing, LLC.
The truth about Revatrol, which ConsumerLab.com would have determined
had it exercised adequate due-diligence and tested the current formulation,
is that Revatrol contains:
-- 100MG of Actual Resveratrol
-- 100MG Alpha Lipoic Acid
-- 100MG Acetyl-L-Carnitine
-- 100MG Quercetin
According to Renaissance Health, two weeks ago they called on the for-
profit laboratory to remove the information ConsumerLab.com currently
portrays for Revatrol from its study, and to retest Revatrol's current
product, which has been on the market for more than nine (9) months.
ConsumerLab.com instead added a notation saying the formulation tested was
discontinued.
In the course of Renaissance Health's investigation into this matter
and into ConsumerLab.com, they've posed questions that Dr. Tod Cooperman,
M.D., president of ConsumerLab.com, LLC, has simply ignored.
"We believe that any organization claiming or implying to be an
independent consumer advocate should have no problem answering the basic
and simple questions we've asked," says DiGeorgia.
"Our questions go right to the heart of the matter at
hand-credibility," explained DiGeorgia. DiGeorgia says the questions that
ConsumerLab.com has ignored are:
***Question 1: Is ConsumerLab.com actually a lab or does the company
contract outside labs to conduct product testing?
"How can ConsumerLab.com claim to be independent if it accepts fees,
accepts advertising and charges $3,000 to $4,000 for laboratory analysis
that can be obtained for $400 to $800 from other reputable testing labs?"
asks DiGeorgia. "The very name of the ConsumerLab.com implies that this is
a lab, yet when we asked whether ConsumerLab.com is actually a laboratory
we have gone ignored for many days."
***Question 2: Will ConsumerLab.com please make public all monies
received from all companies and persons connected with any and all products
they have tested?
"Shouldn't a company that claims independence be willing to voluntarily
open its records and reveal what money it's received and from who?" asks
DiGeorgia.
***Question 3: Why is ConsumerLab.com a for-profit company instead of a
non-for-profit?
"ConsumerLab.com has subscription sales that should be able to support
their business model. Why accept any monies from companies that have
products which have been or are going to be tested?" wonders DiGeorgia.
"I think it is intellectually dishonest to claim independence, but
still accept monies from the companies whose products they test. Moreover,
the media has been accepting ConsumerLab.com's testing results without
asking these key questions. It's crazy," concludes DiGeorgia.
