Compare UK Healthcare Product Prices
There are a huge range of common healthcare products available in all manner of forms. A mystery shopper looked at the prices you would pay for the leading brand style health product with all the nice packaging to a supermarkets own brand. Each product is compared on a like for like basis, with identical main active ingrediants or functionality.
Huge Price Variation in Health Products
Note that although these healthcare products contain the same active ingrediants the leading brands do often have some advantages. They are usually easier to swallow, taste nicer,, feel nicer, or come in prettier colours...
