That is indeed a good price, but even so, two of those are equivalent with 5 mL of code liver oil, which in Europe costs around $50 per liter, with sales taxes (VAT) and shipping included.

Thus the price of equivalent fish oil is about 25 cents, a ratio of more than 2.6.

If you add to your price sales tax and shipping, it is likely that you arrive to the 3 times higher price that I have mentioned.

Because in most days I eat only food that I cook myself from raw ingredients, which is significantly cheaper than industrially-produced food, I can eat very healthy and tasty food for about $5 per day (in Europe).

The food includes the equivalent in fish oil of 4 of your gummies, which might cost around $1.50 with taxes and shipping.

Paying 30% of the daily budget for food only for a supplement taken in a quantity negligible in comparison with the other food, does not seem right.
