its garbage, its your paying bargain basement prices, then your getting bargain basement quality.
Spend some money, its going into your body for christ sakes.
Here is a list of the products that Natures Bounty manufactures:
Nature’s Bounty, Vitamin World, Puritan’s Pride, Holland & Barrett, Rexall, Sundown, Met-Rx, Worldwide Sport Nutrition, Osteo Bi-Flex, American Health, GNC(UK), DeTuinen, LeNaturiste, SISU, and Solgar.
In other words many of these same products are made in the same plant. What each company decides to charge, how to market, and so on is up to them individually.
From the list there is a wide variety of price ranges there. Your logic is what made things like Cybergenics so popular in the 90s. Completley overcharge for a vitamin or product and people believe that the product must work cause it costs so much. Just some food for thought.
