In the supplement industry, if it costs $3 to upgrade to a better ingredient the company marks up the product price by $30 to maintain their margins.
When an ingredient costs us $3 more our product price increases by only $3.
Topic 02
$30 extra often makes the product too expensive relative to the competition so the cheaper inferior ingredient is used.
Our products are already about 70% cheaper so increasing the price for consumers by $3 for an ultra-premium ingredient is easy to justify.
