Direct-sale supplements — what is in them and what they cost

We look at products sold over the phone and paid for on delivery. For each one we give the ingredients, the final price including delivery and, above all, what the maker does not publish.

That last point usually decides it. Without the quantity of each ingredient a product cannot be compared with anything — not with pharmacy stock, not with a rival.

These are not medicines and they do not replace seeing a doctor. On every page we say when a GP visit matters more than an order.

What we check

• Quantities, not names. An ingredient list without percentages or milligrams tells you nothing.
• The extract ratio. A 4:1 marking means one part extract comes from four parts raw material.
• The final price. Whether delivery is included and whether a cash-on-delivery fee is added at the door.
• The format. Capsules, drops, spray and cream are used differently and get confused over the phone.

How phone selling works here

You leave a first name and a number, an agent rings back and settles the details. The order is made during the call and paid on delivery — no card details, no advance payment.

The seller of the product is the party to your contract, not this site. Their details come with the order confirmation and in the parcel; cancellations go to them.
