What This Sports Nutrition Shelf Actually Holds

This collection lists 27 products, 24 of them in stock, from 10 brands. Ekkovision and Deal Supplement contribute 6 each, so 12 of the 24 in-stock items come from two brands; Horbaach adds 3, Alani Nu and Thorne 2 each, and five brands one product apiece. Prices run from Nature Made L-Lysine 1000 mg Tablets, 60 Count at $15.25 to Thorne Whey Protein Isolate Chocolate at $85.99, with a median of $38.84 — midway between Horbaach at $36.20 and Alpha GPC 600 mg Capsules, 240 Count at $41.49. Of the 24 in stock:

• $15–$30: 5 products
• $30–$50: 11 products
• Over $50: 8 products

Powders Outnumber Capsules Almost Two to One

Among the 24 in-stock products, 12 are powders, 7 are capsules, 1 is a tablet and 4 use another format. The single tablet is the Nature Made L-Lysine above; every other pill here is a capsule or caplet. What changes is who sets the serving: with a powder such as Ekkovision Whey Protein Powder Berry Cheesecake, 30 Servings at $59.99 you scoop it yourself, while the 240-count Alpha GPC capsules fix the dose. The Supplement Facts panel says whether a serving is one scoop, one capsule or three.

Serving Counts: Six Products Do Not State One

Count data is the most uneven field here: six of the 24 in-stock products give no serving or unit count in the title, and NativePath Collagen Peptides, Type 1 & 3, 8.8 oz at $28.99 is listed by weight instead. Among those that do state one: 4 products at 120, 4 at 240, 4 at 30, 2 at 250, and one each at 60, 69, 300 and 320. Two electrolyte powders show why price alone misleads: Ekkovision Ekkolyte Grape, 120 Servings is $61.99 and Deal Supplement Electrolytes Lemon Lime, 69 Servings is $43.00 — about $19 less for a little over half the servings, so the higher sticker is the lower cost per serving. Divide price by count first.

Protein, Pre-Workout and the Tags on This Page

Tagging here is broad, not narrow. Health & Vitamins is the top tag at 24 products and Sports Nutrition follows at 22, but the narrow tags are thin: 3 products are tagged Protein and 2 are tagged Preworkout. The largest specific tag is “energy focus” at 15, and 13 products carry a Women’s Health tag against 12 for Men’s Health — this is not a training-only aisle. Two whey powders here sit $26 apart: the Ekkovision Berry Cheesecake tub at $59.99 and the Thorne isolate at $85.99. Both Alani Nu products in this collection are 30-serving pre-workout powders: Alani Nu Pre Workout Powder Blue Slush at $30.99, and the other at $27.72. All 24 of these products also sit in Health & Vitamins and 12 in Men’s Health.

Two Magnesium Bottles, One Label Lesson

Here is a comparison you can run on this page. Horbäach Magnesium Glycinate 1330 mg, 250 Capsules is $36.20; Pure Magnesium Citrate 1300 mg Veggie Capsules, 120 Count from Divine Bounty is $47.00. The front-of-bottle milligrams are nearly identical, 1330 against 1300, yet the second bottle costs $10.80 more and holds 130 fewer capsules. That number describes the compound, not the elemental magnesium, and the two forms differ; the per-serving amount and serving size sit on the Supplement Facts panel. Our guides to magnesium glycinate vs. citrate vs. oxide and how to read a Supplement Facts label cover both.
