Score Breakdown (Averages across all products)
All Jarrow Formulas Products We Have Scored (6)
Zinc Balance 15 mg
Jarrow Formulas$9.99 ÷ 100 days at 15mg/day (1 serving × 15mg)
Best-formulated product in this comparison for daily long-term use. The 15mg zinc + 1mg copper combination is the right approach - zinc at a clinically relevant dose paired with copper to prevent depletion. This is what responsible zinc supplementation looks like.
Prices checked 2026-06-09. Cost shown is per clinically effective daily dose, not per pill.
KSM-66 Ashwagandha 300mg
Jarrow Formulas$22.93 ÷ 60 days at 600mg/day (2 servings × 300mg)
Well-established supplement brand with a straightforward KSM-66 product at a competitive price
Prices checked 2026-06-30. Cost shown is per clinically effective daily dose, not per pill.
Jarrow Formulas Methyl B-12 1000 mcg
Jarrow Formulas$11.92 ÷ 99 days at 1000mcg/day (1 serving × 1000mcg)
Active methylcobalamin form in an easy lemon-flavored chewable. A solid methyl-B12 pick, though USP-verified Nature Made and cheaper cyanocobalamin options edge it out on value.
Prices checked 2026-06-08. Cost shown is per clinically effective daily dose, not per pill.
Curcumin 95 (Curcuminoid Complex) 500mg
Jarrow Formulas$39.95 ÷ 121 days at 500mg/day (1 serving × 500mg)
A straightforward, affordable 95% curcuminoid product. The tradeoff is lower bioavailability than enhanced forms. If budget is the primary concern and you are willing to take a higher dose (1000-1500mg), this is a reasonable option.
Prices checked 2026-06-30. Cost shown is per clinically effective daily dose, not per pill.
Jarro-Dophilus EPS 5 Billion
Jarrow Formulas$20.00 ÷ 61 days at 5billion CFU/day (1 serving × 5billion CFU)
EnteroGuard technology provides good stomach acid protection at a competitive price point

Jarrow Formulas QH-Absorb 100mg
Jarrow Formulas$36.99 ÷ 60 days at 100mg/day (1 serving × 100mg)
Combines ubiquinol with R-alpha-lipoic acid, a synergistic antioxidant. Good for those who want both; unnecessary complexity if you just want CoQ10. Kaneka QH sourcing is a positive quality signal.
