The verdict

Micro Ingredients costs 47% less per 2 g than NOW Foods: $0.048 vs $0.09. At one serving a day that is $17.52 a year instead of $32.85, $15.33 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 ($23.99 vs $9.91) because the container holds more: 500 servings of 2 g against 110.3.

The labels use different servings (NOW Foods: 875 mg, Micro Ingredients: 2 g), so both are priced on the same 2 g.

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.
