Walk into any shop selling research compounds and you are shown a price and a picture. Almost nobody is shown the one number that decides whether it is a good deal.
The arithmetic, once
Take the strength per capsule, multiply by the capsules in the pack, and you have the total milligrams. Divide the price by that, and you have the cost per milligram.
Strength × capsules = total mg. Price ÷ total mg = cost per mg.
That is the whole method. It takes ten seconds and it survives every marketing trick in this market.
Why the sticker price lies
Look at three real MK-677 listings on this site:
- 10mg × 60 capsules — 600mg in the pack
- 12.5mg × 60 capsules — 750mg in the pack
- 25mg × 60 capsules — 1,500mg in the pack
The 25mg bottle looks like the expensive one. It holds two and a half times more compound than the 10mg bottle, and it is nowhere near two and a half times the price. Per milligram, it is the cheapest of the three by a wide margin.
Now reverse it. A bottle that looks cheap at first glance can be the worst value on the page if the dose per capsule is low. Neither fact is visible from the price alone.
Where it matters most: peptides
With SARMs, most brands cluster around similar strengths, so the error is small. With peptides it is enormous. BPC-157 is sold anywhere from 100 micrograms to 10 milligrams per capsule — a hundredfold range. Two bottles with near-identical prices can differ by a factor of fifty in what is actually inside them.
This is the single biggest reason people believe they were ripped off when in fact they simply bought a low-dose product without noticing.
What the number does not tell you
Cost per milligram measures quantity, not quality. It says nothing about whether the compound is what the label claims, whether the dose is accurate, or whether the batch was tested. A very low cost per mg on an untested product is not a bargain; it is a question.
So use it in two steps. First, filter for what you are willing to trust — brand, batch certificate, lab test. Then, among what survives, compare on cost per mg. In that order, never the reverse.
We print it for you
Every listing in Muscle Market shows strength per capsule, capsules per pack and the resulting cost per milligram, under the price. We did not add it to look clever. We added it because it is the comparison a buyer should be making, and because a shop that hides it is usually hiding it for a reason.
