What it actually costs

Price divided by labelled servings, from a dated listing. A serving is whatever the label calls one, which is why the studied-dose row matters more than the headline figure.

  • Optimum Nutrition Opti-MenAbout £14.95–£19.99 for 90 tablets at UK retailers in search listings on 28 September 2026 — roughly 50p–67p a day. No per-serving figure: servings not recorded.
  • Supergut Foundational Daily Fiber$50 for 40 unflavoured servings on Supergut’s store (25 Sept 2026; another listing shows $60), about $27 for 20 unflavoured or 18 flavoured servings at US retailers, and $29.99 for a 15-stick variety box. No per-serving figure: servings not recorded.

Label checks

What each label discloses, and what it leaves out. Read from the reviews, not from the marketing.

How this comparison is built

  • Scores are the ones already published in each review. Nothing is re-scored for the comparison, and a product leads a criterion only when it outscores the rest.
  • Doses are read from the label rows in each review and placed against the studied range on the matching ingredient page. A figure that is not printed is never estimated.
  • Costs use a dated retailer price divided by labelled servings. Prices in different currencies are never ranked against each other.
  • Only products in the same category, or ones a review names as an alternative, can be compared. Commission never changes what appears here.
