How we rank
We rank by cost-per-dose — price ÷ servings, normalized to the daily dose — so bottle sizes and strengths compare fairly. Prices are scraped at publication and re-checked when the catalog refreshes (see the “Prices checked” stamp above). There is no paid placement and no kickback for ordering. Full methodology · Editorial standards.
The cheapest bottle isn’t automatically the best value: a low per-bottle price usually just means fewer servings or a smaller dose per serving. That is exactly what cost per dose normalises, which is why the ranking above is ordered by it rather than by sticker price. A bigger bottle isn’t automatically cheaper per dose either — this list already ranks by cost per dose, so a larger count only wins if it truly costs less per serving. Compare Caffeine forms.
Our data on this: how much the big bottle saves per serving · the gummy tax · the form premium · the price spread.
Cost-per-serving normalizes price across bottle sizes — a 60-count and a 365-count compare fairly.
