Why is this so inexpensive compared to the same brand, Source Naturals, 100mg, 60 Tablets for $39.95? Isn't it the same?

I don't know the reasoning but the product seems to work well for me. This is my 3 rd bottle and I starting seeing a difference in my skin during the second one . Seems to help with my minor rosacea on my cheeks .. less inflammation .

I don't know. I purchased this once, hoping it would be as effective as Pycnogenol for ringing in the ears, but it wasn't.

Actually it is not the same. This product is "Pine Bark Extract", the product your comparing it to is "100mg, 60 tabs-Pycnogenol". Most people, when taking Pine Bark are trying to utilize the benefits of Pycnogenol sourced from the tree species "French Maritime Pine". When you buy pine bark your typically getting a multitude of items within the product, despite wanting a majority of Pycnogenol. If your looking for the benefits of Pycnogenol, buy the product directly, or investigate the milligram dosage within the Pine Bark to decide what the best bang for the buck is.

I bought this for my skin, haven't noticed any difference. I am on the second bottle, probably won't buy any more.

I know the prices vary on this product because of the dosage of pine bark extract(150mg). Others mfg. charge more for less dosage. Stick with this brand...it is the best price and it works for me.

All pine trees are not created equal. I've tried several and Natures Purest Extract was the best for tightening facial skin. I suppose it depends on the purpose you're seeking.

I have not noticed much difference between brands, and usually buy by price and shipping costs. Just be sure to take at least 300mg per day. I currently take 600mg/day. Hope this helps.

130mg is better. It has a seven year exp date instead of 5 year for the 65mg tablet. Plus, it's actually cheaper per tablet.

I'm not sure why Amazon is able to provide the same product- it's not a knock-off, but the vet's price is always higher than Amazon. My 14 year old lab has been on this for over a year and she can jump up like she did in her younger days with 2 tabs per day. My daughter told me about it as she works for a vet and even though her dogs are younger, it is cold in Montana and this product keeps the 'guys' from having stiff joints in the am.

Without comparing and contrasting the ingredients and dosage for both brands I can say that the minute I use the Source Naturals I feel almost an instant boost. An awareness that tells me I probably should have been supplementing topical progesterone for some time. Other than that over time both creams gradually improve my symptoms (night/day sweats, lethargy, craving sweets). Both creams absorb at the same rate for me with little to no residue remaining. I guess the only real contrast (to me) is the somewhat unpleasant fragrance of the Source Naturals compared to the Emerita. I think it takes experimenting with each cream to see which will work best.

I believe quality is about the same, but powder is cheaper than the pills. If there's 60 100mg pills, that is only 6 grams of powder and it'll probably run you $10-15, or for $12 or so for the liftmode powder you get 50 grams. Overall just a much better deal. I love theanine, great relaxer, sleep helper.

My doctor wrote an RX for 50,000 I.U. the Giant Eagle near my home filled my RX with Biotech product and charge my $5.00 for 8 pills. As you can see Amazon seller supplied me with 100 for $20.00. I went to see my doctor if fact yesterday, and told him of my finding to which he said "yes, it's the same". The RX was for my insurance company .... I think that 0.20 cents a pill, is a lot better than 8 for $5.00.But let me get off my soap box and say YES, it's the same. But to be safe ask your doctor.Have a Happy Thanksgiving. G-d bless, Barbara Newkirk

Yes, Source Naturals offers 100 mcg tablets. I don't know what these other people are talking about, but you can look on their website and see for yourself:http://www.sourcenaturals.com/products/GP1850Amazon should offer it somewhere, or perhaps try Whole Foods.

I have checked for this everywhere on the internet. It is the price advertised for that dosage and quantity. It appears to be backordered everywhere in this 50 mg dosage so some suppliers are hiking up the price because of demand. The best prices I have found for this dosage are on Life Extension and Pure Formulas. They are both back ordered but they are suppliers that have not hiked up their prices so I will not buy this from Amazon suppliers in the future when/if the price comes down when they are resupplied.

The last tube I bought a couple months ago was from Pharmapacks for about $24 for 4oz. I see they are charging much more now. I love the product and have been using it since ~ 1968, but I won't pay $90 for it. I'll wait for the price to comes down or wait for a knock-off.

There seem to be multiple listings for the product you mention, Nordic Naturals, Baby DHA 2oz, 3 pack. I cannot speak for whoever is selling this at $79 but we at Maple Leaf Nutritionsell the 2 oz 3 pack for $39.49.

Hi Kyle~ In a word yes. BUT, this is only true if everything else (mg of HCA per capsule, # of capsules, price per capsule, etc) are exactly the same. Which of course they almost never are. And even then this assumes that what's on the label is actually what's contained in the product. Please see the response to an earlier question that showed that in recent testing 60% of the garcinia cambogia products tested had less, sometimes far less HCA, than what was shown on the product's label. Assuming you have satisfied for yourself that the label claims are valid (through review of 3rd party testing results or other means), then the easiest way to compare products is to determine how many grams of HCA are in a particular brand's bottle. Then simply divide the sales price by the # of grams in the bottle. eg. BRAND X has 60 capsules with 300mg of HCA in each capsule or 18,000mg which is equal to 18 grams. If this product sells for $19.95 you would divide $19.95/18=$1.11 per gram. Remember, that the amount used in the two largest clinical studies conducted was 2800mg/day of HCA or 84 grams of HCA over a 30 day period. In the example given it would therefore cost $93.24 for 84 grams of HCA. In closing, it is always best to focus on how much each gram of HCA is costing you. This is far more important than the # of capsules or % of HCA in a particular formula as it allows you to fairly compare other products. To make this even easier you can also reference the comparison chart shown in the image gallery to the left of our main product image in our product listing. I hope this answer helps to clear up a very common source of confusion. Thank you for asking Kyle! Customer Care HUMANOLABS

I believe they are the exact same just different sellers. That seems to happen often with many products on amazon. Go with the best price! :) P.S. If you are looking for candida removal with this I would recommend to click on the 2 bottle deal and just have them. Candida takes a while to remove so be patient.... and also go to a health store/vitamin shop and get a really good probiotic. 10+ different strains with around 20 billion parts. ;)

Jonathan, I'm not sure about the "low rent" deal. This is just what my dr. recommended as he felt it was the best one for your body to process. However it isn't easy to find. There is only one store in our area that carries it.

I go to an Esthetician once a month fir facials and she uses this on me. The one I purchased at Amazon is identical, only cheaper. Not cheaper ingredients but cheaper price.

I don't know, but I have had good results and it is much cheaper than prescription alternatives. Good luck!

Hmmm, in 30 years of being a pharmacist, I had never heard of Consumer Labs. After doing a quick internet search, I can see why - their rating would depend on whether the manufacturer is willing to pay their fee, which is more than a little shady. Until federal law allows the FDA to regulate natural products, there's not likely to be any accurate, unbiased evaluation of any such product. But this product has worked well for me and a vast majority of other people, so that says something for it!
