Hi,  I was wondering if there is a service that tests the brand name
of these vitamin makers to prove the product quality is actually as
stated since these are all unregulated from the FDA.  (E.g.  A label
on the bottle of a manufacturer reads "Fish Oil 1200 mg per capsule." 
Well is there really 1200mg of fish oil in that capsule?    Or
"L-Carnitine 250mg per capsule" is there really 250mg of L-Carnitine
in there?,  etc. )  I know that Consumer's Report occasionally has
some testing but they don't show of a center that actually tests these
various vitamins and supplements on a regular basis and posts the
results on a web site for perhaps a small fee. If there is such a
center can somebody actually give me there web address?  Also I don't
want to send each product to a lab individually to get it tested since
that would be too expensive for me (I think?).  P.S. I will give  a
tip if one can find a testing center that posts the results of these
vitmains & supplements that it tests on the net.

Thank You
