Everything in the opening post holds. The case it does not cover is the one I have.

Cost per milligram is the only comparison that survives format differences, and even then it needs care.

Take the reasoning and check the arithmetic; I do not always get it right.

A cheaper option that arrives slowly has a cost in the form of running out, and people rarely price that.

Post #8 is the version of this I will quote in future. One addition.

The cost of an independent submission is worth stating in these threads, because it is the main reason people do not do it.

Nothing here is financial advice and none of it is a route to a transaction.

Answering the question post #32 raises rather than the one it answers.

Independent testing is a real cost and belongs in the comparison. A cheaper supplier tested every lot may cost more in total.

It is one reading of the data and not the only reasonable one.

Pharmacy acquisition cost: a pharmacy pays less than the patient pays, even at insurance rates. That margin is where the pharmacy's costs and profit live.

Somebody will have a better source than mine, and I hope they post it.

Where somebody posts a comparison, the useful version states the date, the region and what was included.

Happy to be corrected if someone holds better data than mine.
