Amazon or PromoFarma for zinc: which is better value per capsule

The short answer. For zinc, Amazon lists 35 products and PromoFarma another 13. By price per capsule, Amazon’s median is €0.166/capsule and PromoFarma’s is €0.248/capsule. The highest scoring across both catalogues is vit4ever Zinc 25 mg - 400 Comprimidos - Materia Prima de Marca from Amazon, with 69 out of 100 at €0.037/capsule. Neither has products at verification level 4: for zinc 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.

Why one is cheaper than the other

Factor by factor, with both stores’ data

PromoFarma costs 49 % more per capsule than Amazon (€0.248/capsule against €0.166/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), chemical form of the active ingredient.

Where the price difference between Amazon and PromoFarma for zinc comes from
FactorAmazonPromoFarma
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.100 caps.50 caps.
Chemical form of the active ingredientAmazon: Citrate (4), Gluconate (2). PromoFarma: Citrate (2). The form changes the manufacturing cost and the evidence behind it, so two tubs of the same ingredient at different prices may not be the same product.Citrate 4 · Gluconate 2Citrate 2

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.
