How it compares on the vitamins & supplements shelf
We track 50 rated vitamins & supplements products, and the middle of that pack scores 4.5 out of 5. This one is on 4.7. Top quarter of the shelf. In an aisle where nearly everything rates well, the distance above the middle is the part worth reading, and this one has it.
5,975 people rated it, where the shelf median is 7,100. Enough reviews to trust the direction, not enough to close the question.
The shelf runs from £3.45 to £38.98 and the midpoint is about £9.99. On price, this one is in the top third. It costs more than most and is rated above most, so the premium at least tracks something buyers recognise.
Worked out from the 50 vitamins & supplements products we track, not from the brand's own claims.
