I’ve been looking at Walmart’s Spring Valley brand since they’re super affordable. They seem decent, but I’m worried about things like correct dosages and possible contamination. Anyone know if they’re lab-tested or safe? Any thoughts on their quality?

If it’s not USP certified, I wouldn’t trust it.
Walmart does sell Nature Made, and a lot of their stuff is USP certified, so that could be a safer choice.
Totally agree! Spring Valley is not reliable—just a quick search online shows why. I stick to Nature Made for the same reason, it’s verified.
If you have a ConsumerLab subscription, they’ve actually tested some Spring Valley products. Everything I’ve checked so far passed their tests.
I’ve used a few Spring Valley supplements myself and thought they were fine… anyone else have thoughts?
I take Spring Valley’s B12 and D3 from Walmart. I get blood tests yearly for B12 and D levels, and they always check out, so I feel like they’re working. Since I’m vegan, if they didn’t work, I’d be deficient by now. For my multivitamin, though, I go with Nature Made Multi for Him, which is USP certified. All three cost me around 11 cents a day.
For lutein, try adding foods like romaine lettuce or zucchini. They’re high in lutein naturally.
None for me. Spring Valley’s made in China and isn’t third-party tested. Just doesn’t feel safe enough.
