Bud Bros

Compared with buying the same thing from the chemist on the high street, this works out quite a bit cheaper per month once you take the bigger pack. I've been taking it for about eight months and I know what to expect from it by now. The subscription is easy to pause when I go away, which the chemist never offered me.

Honestly the free sample box was the best bit, got loads of stuff to try before committing. Ordered on my phone in bed, took two mins. Would do it again.

I bought the family pack because it works out cheaper than buying the smaller tubs every month, and that's really why I went for it. Price per portion is decent and the mix lasts us about six weeks between the two of us. The only annoyance was that the first delivery came a day later than the site said, though the update email was helpful. Would order again for the savings alone.

I needed a decent protein top-up for the gym and wanted something that wasn't a fortune per tub. The price per serving is good compared with the big supermarket brands. Delivery took a day longer than they quoted but nothing went wrong.

The first thing I noticed was that the order confirmation came through with a delivery window of three to five days, which is longer than I expected. I messaged to ask about a change to my address and it took until the next working day to get a reply. The product itself is fine and the box was tidy, but I was waiting on it for longer than I'd have liked.

Compared with the same thing from the big online pharmacy, this one came in a smaller bottle for pretty much the same money. The label looked different from the photo on the site too. I'd expected the bigger size from the listing so it felt like a step back.

I needed something to help with my blood sugar after my GP mentioned it at my check-up and I had no idea where to start. The site was easy to find my way round and the order went through without me having to ring anyone. Packed up nicely and arrived when they said it would, the only thing is the checkout asked me to make an account first which was a bit of a faff.

The verdict is the subscription is good value and I'm glad I went for it after my first box. I had a question about my dosage and got a reply from the team within a few hours, which was better than the GP surgery. Signing up took a few minutes and I could pick my delivery day, which made life simpler. Packaging is minimal and the box arrived in one piece both times so far.

This is the one I'd go back to if I had to choose again. I'd tried a couple of other brands over the years and this one sits well with me and does the job without any fuss. They post on the same day if you order before lunch and the dispatch emails are clear about where the parcel is. Price is fair for what you get and I've stopped looking elsewhere.

Got the starter bundle off the site last week and it turned up quicker than I thought it would, two days. Packed well too, nothing rattled about. Only been using it a few days so can't say much about results yet but the ordering was dead easy and I'd order again.
