Pros and cons
BioProphyl
Pros
- Price per serving of €0.21 ranks 18 of 121, well ahead of its 64 of 157 on entry price
- multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 covers several daily categories under one brand, including multivitamins, probiotics and greens
- Third-party tested, with organic certification in organic
Cons
- Delivery is limited to the markets listed in Belgium, DE and NL, so readers outside that area are not served
- Certification runs to organic only in organic, a narrower mark than the GMP labelling many rival brands carry
- Range is thinner than a full retailer: multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 leaves out collagen, nootropics and electrolytes
Protein Works
Pros
- Covers a wide list of categories in multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, from multivitamins to electrolytes.
- Entry point of £8.99 with a per serving cost of £0.15, ranked 15 of 121 brands on price per serving.
- The range suits different diets, with vegan, vegetarian and gluten free options on the multivitamin formula.
Cons
- Delivery covers GB, IE and FR, which is a narrower set of markets than some pharmacy-led rivals.
- The range carries 8 flavours on its whey protein line, but the entry pricing and per serving cost come from the multivitamin product.
- The £8.99 entry price ranks 23 of 157 brands, so the price on the front of the pack sits mid-table.

Questions about each
BioProphyl
Does BioProphyl charge a subscription fee?+
BioProphyl sells one-off bottles rather than a subscription, so there is no renewal price to weigh against the entry price. Buying again means paying €24.72 for the same pack, and nothing about the order changes over time. The per-serving figure of €0.21 is the number that decides whether a repeat order is worth making.
How does the per-serving price compare with other brands?+
BioProphyl's per-serving cost of €0.21 sits below the site median of €1.17. The brand ranks 18 of 121 on that measure, a much stronger placing than the 64 of 157 it holds on entry price.
Protein Works
How much does Protein Works cost to start?+
The entry price is £8.99 for the multivitamin product. The same product works out at £0.15 per serving, so a larger pack lowers the cost per serving. The per serving figure ranks 15 of 121 brands in this category.
Is there a discount for ordering repeatedly?+
Yes, subscriptions carry a 15% discount against the entry price of £8.99. The discount applies to repeat orders rather than the first purchase, so it only shows on the ongoing cost. Orders placed on a subscription continue until you change them.
