## Short answer

The cheapest tulsi (holy basil) we track costs **$0.082 per serving**, against a median of $0.185 across the 13 products we can price per dose. Cost per dose is the current retail price divided by servings, as of 2026-11-13; it is not the sticker price, and the cheapest bottle is rarely the best value.
