Our verdict on each
Nuun
Nuun suits readers who want electrolyte tablets bought as they need them, with an entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport and $0.75 a serving. Vitamins-and-multivitamins rivals that bundle a monthly plan charge on delivery rather than letting you stop, so Nuun fits anyone who buys by the box.
ShakePlease
ShakePlease sells in US only, and suits adults who want protein and collagen in the same powder at 24 to 33 g per serving. The collagen plan's entry price of $38.24 works out at $1.27 per serving, with 15% off for subscribers.

Pros and cons
Nuun
Pros
- Entry price of $7.49 on Nuun Sport puts the brand at position 11 of the 157 brands tracked on price from.
- A serving of Nuun Sport costs $0.75, which lands at position 42 of the 121 brands compared on cost per serving.
- Every product is third-party tested, against 84.5% of brands in the vitamins-and-multivitamins category that report the same.
Cons
- Where it runs is narrow: the range is built for US and CA, so readers in the UK are better served by DocMorris, which covers multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Protein per serving sits at 0 g, well under the 24 median across the brands compared, so anyone buying this alongside a pre-workout still needs a separate protein source.
- The range is built on electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals rather than on vitamins alone, and TestRX stays closer to vitamins minerals for readers shopping purely for a daily vitamin.
ShakePlease
Pros
- Each serving carries 24 to 33 g, above the 20.25 lower quartile and the 24 median across the brands compared.
- The powder is third-party tested and produced to gmp standards, which removes the usual doubt about what sits in the blend.
- Subscriptions take 15% off, so the collagen plan's cost of $1.27 per serving drops for anyone ordering again.
Cons
- Only collagen appears in the range, where docmorris lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 and life-extension lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, so ShakePlease suits a narrow goal rather than a full supplement order.
- Support runs on email, chat and help centre, with no phone line among those channels for anyone who would rather talk it through.
- Selling is limited to US, so buyers elsewhere need a brand that already ships to them.
Who each suits
Nuun
Who it suits
- Readers after electrolyte tablets rather than capsules, since the range covers electrolytes, multivitamins and vitamins minerals.
- Anyone in the markets Nuun serves, listed as US and CA.
- Shoppers on restricted diets, given the range is labelled for vegan, gluten free and kosher.
Who should look elsewhere
- Readers in the UK, who should look at DocMorris and its own range of multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3.
- Anyone shopping only for a daily vitamin, since ProSolution Plus sells vitamins minerals and TestRX vitamins minerals alone.
ShakePlease
Who it suits
- Adults in the US who want collagen and protein in the same serving, at 24 to 33 g per scoop.
- People who will reorder and can sit on a subscription to take 15% off each order.
- Shoppers who want third-party testing and a 30 day window before committing to a full pouch.
Who should look elsewhere
- Anyone building a wider supplement order: docmorris lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 and apotek-hjartat lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3 alongside collagen.
- Shoppers who want a longer catalog to browse: life-extension lists multivitamins, vitamins minerals and omega 3, which is a different shopping experience from a specialist.
- Buyers outside the US, since US is the only market listed, and anyone who needs a phone line, since support runs on email, chat and help centre.

Questions about each
Nuun
What does Nuun cost?+
The entry point is $7.49 on the Nuun Sport range, and subscriptions take 15% off that price. There is no membership fee attached, and the amount you see at entry is the amount you pay for the box you order next.
What is the cost per serving?+
A serving of Nuun Sport works out at $0.75, which places the brand at position 42 of the 121 brands compared on that measure. If you take more than a tablet a day, the cost is worth multiplying out before you commit.
ShakePlease
How much does a ShakePlease order cost to start?+
The collagen plan lists an entry price of $38.24, which works out at $1.27 per serving across the pouch. On cost per serving ShakePlease ranks 67 of 121, so the running cost sits closer to the middle of the market than the ticket price does.
What does a ShakePlease subscription save?+
Subscriptions take 15% off, so the same collagen plan costs less each time it repeats. That suits anyone already sure about the taste and format, and suits a cautious first trial less well. A 30 day money-back window buys some room to decide before the next order goes out.
