The verdict
Micro Ingredients costs 84% less per 1 mg than Natrol: $0.003 vs $0.019. At one serving a day that is $1.06 a year instead of $6.75, $5.69 less.
We didn't find either one in a third-party testing program's database (NSF, USP, Informed Sport or Choice, IFOS). That doesn't mean either one failed a test.
Micro Ingredients costs more at checkout ($22.95 vs $18.49) because the container holds more: 8000 servings of 1 mg against 1000.
The labels use different servings (Natrol: 10 mg, Micro Ingredients: 20 mg), so both are priced on the same 1 mg.
We compare price on the same dose. Taste, mixing, other ingredients and how a product suits you are yours to judge, so read both labels before you switch.
