Amazon or DosFarma for carnitine: which is better value per capsule

The short answer. For carnitine, Amazon lists 45 products and DosFarma another 9. By price per capsule, Amazon’s median is €0.183/capsule and DosFarma’s is €0.133/capsule. The highest scoring across both catalogues is L-Carnitina 2000mg con BioPerine® - Soporte de Energía y Metabolismo - Complejo de Acetil L-Carnitina de Alta Resistencia - 120 Cápsulas Veganas – by Alpha01 from Amazon, with 63 out of 100 at €0.083/capsule. The cheapest per capsule is Sotya L-Carnitina 600mg 90 cápsulas from DosFarma, at €0.055/capsule. Neither has products at verification level 4: for carnitine the ceiling today is a lab report published by the brand itself, and that is not a certification.

Both stores measured on the same criterion: price per capsule and certification verification level. There is no overall winner because there isn’t one: one can win on price and the other on certification, and here you see both separately.

† Some links are affiliate links — they do not change the ranking

Some store links are affiliate links: if you buy through them, this site may earn a commission at no extra cost to you. It changes nothing in the ranking: the score is computed beforehand and without reading those links, and products with no affiliate programme appear exactly the same. How it is calculated.

The median is not the price you will pay. It is the midpoint of that store’s catalogue in this category, and it tells you whether a store is dear or cheap overall. For buying, the specific row in the table below is what counts.

What each tub contains

Median dose per serving

Price per kilo does not tell you how much active ingredient is inside the kilo. This table does: for each ingredient, the median dose per serving at each store and how many products reach the dose backed by studies (the same reference this site scores with).

Ingredients and dose per serving at Amazon and DosFarma, for carnitine
IngredientAmazonDosFarma
CarnitineEvidence-backed dose: from 2 g per serving1 g22 of 45 contain it · 7 reach the dose600 mg7 of 9 contain it · 2 reach the dose

The dose is per serving, not per tub. A big tub with a short dose forces you to take two scoops to get the same, and then it lasts half as long: that is why the price per dose in the next section does not match the price per kilo.

Why one is cheaper than the other

Factor by factor, with both stores’ data

Amazon costs 38 % more per capsule than DosFarma (€0.183/capsule against €0.133/capsule, medians of both catalogues). That difference does not come out of nowhere. These are the data that explain it, with each store’s figure alongside: capsules per pack (median).

FactorAmazonDosFarma
Cost of one effective dosePrice per capsule and price per dose point to the same store, so the dose does not erase the label difference: DosFarma is cheaper both ways.€0.450€0.267
Capsules per pack (median)Amazon sells bigger packs, and a big pack spreads the same tub, the same label and the same shipping over more capsules. Part of the price gap per capsule is this and not a discount: comparing one store’s small pack with the other’s large one inflates the gap.120 caps.90 caps.

None of these factors is an accusation. They are medians of what each store publishes on its pages on the day prices were collected: where a page does not declare a figure, that store does not count in that row instead of counting as a zero. A specific product can contradict its store’s median, and that is what the full table is for. How all of this is calculated.
