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.
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
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.
Transparent Labs
Pros
- Protein per serving of 28 g ranks 10 of 43 brands in our protein powders data
- Third-party tested products give buyers independent label checks before buying
- Category spread covers whey protein, plant protein, creatine, pre-workout, electrolytes, protein bars and mass gainer through whey protein, plant protein and creatine
Cons
- Entry price of $64.99 ranks 57 of 66 brands in our price data, so it is not the cheapest way in
- Serving cost of $1.33 on the multivitamin line sits above the €0 site median once a daily item is included
- Support runs on email and help centre only, with no phone line for questions about dosing or orders
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.
Transparent Labs
Who it suits
- Lifters chasing a high protein figure per serving rather than the lowest serving price
- Vegan shoppers, since the multivitamin line lists vegan in vegan and the protein range carries organic and vegan in organic and vegan
- Consumers in the US, GB, AU and CA who want one brand for protein, creatine and pre-workout
Who should look elsewhere
- Budget buyers comparing only entry price, where cheaper brands in our price ranking come first
- HUM Nutrition shoppers who only want plant protein and creatine and prefer a narrower range
- Anyone who needs meal replacement shakes, a category Body Attack lists and this range omits

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.
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.
