Labdoor
Labdoor is a San Francisco-based company that specializes in testing and ranking dietary supplements and other health products for safety and efficacy. The company was founded in 2012 by Neil Thanedar, who serves as its CEO.
History[edit | edit source]
Labdoor was founded in 2012 by Neil Thanedar, who previously co-founded Avomeen Analytical Services, a product safety laboratory. The company was initially funded by Rock Health, a digital health-focused venture fund, and later received additional funding from various investors including Mark Cuban and FLOODGATE.
Services[edit | edit source]
Labdoor provides independent testing services for dietary supplements and other health products. The company purchases products directly from retailers, then sends them to an FDA-registered laboratory for analysis. The products are tested for their active ingredients, potential contaminants, and whether they live up to their marketing claims.
The results of these tests are then used to rank the products on Labdoor's website. The rankings are based on the product's label accuracy, product purity, nutritional value, ingredient safety, and projected efficacy. The company also provides detailed reports on each product, including a breakdown of its ingredients and any potential safety concerns.
Criticism[edit | edit source]
While Labdoor's services have been praised for their transparency and the company's commitment to consumer safety, they have also faced criticism. Some critics argue that the company's testing methods are not comprehensive enough, and that they do not always accurately reflect a product's safety or efficacy. Others have raised concerns about potential conflicts of interest, given that Labdoor makes money by receiving a commission on products sold through its website.
