Testing reveals, many CoQ10 / SAMe supplements contain almost no active ingredients, despite label claims.

Supplement manufacturer NOW reports that of the 10 CoQ10 and SAMe products it subjected to analytical testing, only a few came close to meeting the label claims. Most products contained nothing useful or very little. The company purchased 10 CoQ10 products and 10 SAMe products and tested them to assess how much of the respective active ingredients they contained.

And when the person doing the testing is doing so explicitly to market a directly competing product.

I literally bought NOW as a control, along with Life Extension and Jarrow, because I thought they would pass. Even I thought they were going to be good! Nobody was more surprised than me to find out they all failed. If you think I am lying about testing results, eroding the trust people have put in me over almost a decade, and opening myself up to lawsuits for fucking milk thistle, you have no idea who I actually am. That would literally be the dumbest most idiotic thing I could ever do. When I publicly talk about numbers like this, I make double and triple sure they are accurate. I know the weight of what I say, so I treat that VERY seriously. Me throwing my reputation in the trash for some milk thistle sales? It's asinine! We don't even have milk thistle capsules yet... If I was going to lie to get some milk thistle sales, wouldn't I wait till I actually had a product people could buy instead?!?
