What it costs
Three packs, three prices, all published. This page adds the arithmetic the checkout does not: cost per day, cost per bottle, and cost per milligram of the thing you are actually buying.
$158 for two bottles, $207 for three, $294 for six — $79, $69 and $49 a bottle. That is $2.63, $2.30 and $1.63 a day.
No single-bottle price was published. Shipping and tax appear at checkout and this site publishes no figure it was not given.

Those are the prices printed on the sales page supplied to this website. No single-bottle price was supplied, and no shipping figure was either. The day counts and the cost a day are ours, and they are division: 30 ml a bottle, 1 ml a day, 30 days a bottle.
No single bottle
The sales page starts at two bottles. A one-bottle price was not supplied to this site and we are not going to estimate one. If you want to try a single month, the two-bottle pack at $158 is the smallest order available.
Cost per day
| Pack | Total | Per bottle | Days | Per day |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Two bottles | $158 | $79 | 60 | $2.63 |
| Three bottles | $207 | $69 | 90 | $2.30 |
| Six bottles | $294 | $49 | 180 | $1.63 |

The six-bottle pack is 38% cheaper per day than the two-bottle pack. That is a genuine saving and it is why the badge on the pack says so.
It is also a $294 commitment to a formula you have not tried. The 180-day guarantee is what makes that defensible, and the argument for the six-pack rests on the guarantee being real. That has its own page.
Cost per milligram
A bottle contains thirty servings. Each serving carries 15.47 mg of blend plus 7 µg of chromium. So a bottle carries 464.1 mg of blend in total, across its whole thirty days.
| Pack | Per bottle | Blend per bottle | Per gram of blend |
|---|---|---|---|
| Two bottles | $79 | 464.1 mg | $170 |
| Three bottles | $69 | 464.1 mg | $149 |
| Six bottles | $49 | 464.1 mg | $106 |

We are publishing this because it is arithmetic, not because cost per gram is how anyone should buy a supplement. Potency, form and evidence all matter more than mass. But when a formula's defence is the number of ingredients in it, the total mass of those ingredients is a fair thing to put a price against.
What you are also paying for
A bottle, a dropper, a label, filling, a 180-day guarantee reserve, card fees, shipping, customer service and marketing. None of that is free and none of it is unreasonable. The figures above are the ingredient side only.
What is not included in the price
- Shipping. Not published. It is calculated at checkout and this site publishes no figure it was not given.
- Tax. Depends on your state and appears at checkout.
- Return shipping. The buyer pays it, and tracking is advised.
- Any subscription. None was described to this site. Read the checkout page before you confirm, every time.
If anything appears at checkout that is not on this list, that is a discrepancy we would want to hear about at [email protected]. This page is written from what the seller supplied, and a checkout that disagrees with it is a fault worth correcting.
Is it worth it
This site is published by the retailer, so read the next three paragraphs with that in mind.
At $1.63 to $2.63 a day, this is priced like a formulated supplement rather than a commodity ingredient. The 15.47 mg blend does not support that pricing on a content basis, and fourteen of the sixteen ingredients with a researched dose cannot reach it on the most generous reading of the label. That is the case against.
The case for is the 180-day window, which is longer than the trials behind almost everything on the ingredient list, and the fact that a buyer who uses it carries very little risk. If you want to run a personal trial and you intend to claim if it does nothing, the downside is bounded.
What we will not do is tell you it is a bargain. The arithmetic on the best-case page is the same arithmetic whether it is $49 or $79 a bottle.

Two, three or six bottles, priced plainly, with a 180-day window on the sales page kits. Read the best case first, then decide.
