Our verdict on each
KoRo
KoRo suits adults inside Germany who want a broad supplement range at a low cost per serving rather than a plan or a subscription. The money back window of 14 days and the DE reach keep the commitment small, though products are not third-party tested and the listed certification is organic.
Protein Works
Protein Works suits shoppers who want a wide range of daily supplement categories at a low entry price, with £8.99 to start. Buyers who put independent lab testing at the top of their list should look further, since third-party testing is not offered.

Pros and cons
KoRo
Pros
- A serving cost of €0.01 makes daily use inexpensive, and the entry price of €19.50 keeps a first order small.
- Range spans vitamins minerals, omega 3 and probiotics, wider than the vitamins and minerals focus at ProSolution Plus and TestRX.
- Products suit vegan and vegetarian diets, and the listed certification is organic.
Cons
- Third-party tested is no, and the listed certification is organic, so an independent potency check sits outside what is stated.
- Price from ranks 44 of 157 brands, so the entry price is not the cheapest in the comparison.
- The range covers DE only, which is narrower than a multi-line pharmacy such as DocMorris.
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
KoRo
How much does KoRo cost?+
Prices start at €19.50, and the cost per serving is €0.01. The first figure matters for a single purchase, the second for anyone taking a product every day. The price shown is the one you pay, so no second bill arrives later.
Is KoRo cheaper than rival supplement brands?+
It depends which measure you use. On price from, KoRo ranks 44 of 157 brands, so the entry price sits mid-table. On price per serving it ranks 1 of 121 brands, the stronger result of the two for a daily user.
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.
