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.
Transparent Labs
Transparent Labs suits lifters and training consumers who want tested products across many categories and will order from its listed markets. Protein content of 28 g per serving ranks near the top in our protein powders comparison, though the entry price of $64.99 is high among brands.

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.
Transparent Labs
Pros

- Category spread covers whey protein, plant protein, creatine, pre-workout, electrolytes, protein bars and mass gainer through whey protein, plant protein and creatine
Cons

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.
Transparent Labs
How much does Transparent Labs cost to start?+
The range starts at $64.99, which ranks 57 of 66 brands in our price data. Ordering on a subscription reduces each delivery by 10%. Buyers who only want one tub pay the entry figure, while regular buyers pay less per order.
How much protein is in each serving?+
A serving carries 28 g of protein, which puts the range at 10 of 43 brands in our protein powders comparison. That is the strongest argument for the price, since cheaper options often give less protein per scoop.
