What drives the price
| Factor | Effect on price |
|---|---|
| Laboratory testing | A broad, batch-specific panel costs the brand money on every batch |
| Processing | More purification cycles and controlled drying cost more |
| Format | Capsules and gummies add manufacturing steps and ingredients |
| Pack size | Larger jars usually cost less per gram |
| Delivery | Free or subsidised delivery changes the true price |
| Branding | Marketing spend can raise price without adding evidence |
How to compare prices fairly
- Convert to cost per gramPrice ÷ net weight, using the calculator.
- Convert to cost per servingCost per gram × the label serving.
- Add deliveryIf you pay it.
- Compare like with likeThe same form, with similar documentation.
How we record prices is on our price methodology; how long a jar lasts is on jar duration.
Price signals worth a closer look
- Far below comparable productsAsk for the batch COA before buying; testing and purification cost money.
- No net weight or servingYou can’t work out cost per gram, which is a transparency problem.
- Price justified by grade or altitudeNeither is a quality standard; see claims checked.
- Permanent “sale” pricingCompare the price you would actually pay.
Price and value
The cheapest gram isn’t the best value if the product has no batch testing. Value is cost per serving for a product that meets the documentation standard. See best value shilajit and subscriptions and multi-buys.
