How is the price of our products determined?

You ask, we answer: Under this keyword we want to shed some light on the matter and, true to our brand promise, ensure more transparency here too. The price and composition is one of the best-kept secrets in most companies. But we want to give you a glimpse behind the scenes and show you what we value and what is important to us in our products. In this way we want to show you why our products seem a little more expensive at first glance than perhaps a product from the drugstore or pharmacy. But we are firmly convinced that they are worth every euro. Many factors play an important role for us, such as sustainability, our selected ingredients and our partners. In this article you will find out how the prices for our products are determined and why we actively choose them despite the higher costs.

1. We develop our products ourselves
   Our products are not white label products. White label? What exactly is that? These are products or formulations that a (usually little-known) white label manufacturer develops and produces in large quantities. Other brands can buy these formulations and then sell them under their own brand, with their branding and logo. This means that there are a large number of probiotic products available on the market that only differ from one another in terms of their marketing. In this way, some companies save on development costs and essentially sell another manufacturer's products under their own name. This can result in companies selling nutritional supplements without having any real expertise in the products. In addition, the products or formulations from white label manufacturers are often of lower quality in the selection and dosage of the bacterial strains. The formulations are also sometimes years or even decades old and have not been updated to reflect the latest scientific findings since then.
   
   mybacs does it differently. Our development team, consisting of doctors, pharmacists and scientists, develops all of our product formulations themselves. They are supported in this by a specially selected and top-class medical advisory board, who support us with their many years of experience and expertise. When we develop a formulation, it is based on the latest scientific findings and contains ingredients that have been clinically tested for their effectiveness. We always keep ourselves informed about the latest study results that affect our products and work on further developing and optimizing our formulations on this basis.
   
   As you can probably imagine, developing your own product requires significantly more money and resources. But this is the only way to achieve the best possible result for you.


2. High quality ingredients and manufacturing
   Our products are developed in Switzerland and produced in Germany and Austria. This way we can guarantee a very high quality of ingredients and production, as well as regionality, short transport routes and fair working conditions.
   
   So that you can better understand how our prices are made up and how they differ from other providers, we have compared our production costs with those of comparable products. Let's start with the basis of Dailybacs - the bacterial strains. We only use selected and clinically tested bacterial strains of the highest quality and great variety. If we were to use fewer or cheaper strains, we could reduce the costs by almost 200%. Of course, we don't want that, because the good effectiveness of Dailybacs is based on the selected and high-quality bacterial strains.
   
   Did you know that we produce one of the highest doses of synbiotics per capsule that you can currently find on the market? In our capsule you will find 60 billion bacteria, which are made up of eleven different strains. The formulation is rounded off with high-quality minerals, vitamins and plant extracts. This means that a Dailybacs capsule is loaded with the highest quality ingredients. We source the individual ingredients of our products from the leading international manufacturers of probiotic bacterial strains. So you can see that we attach great importance to high-quality ingredients and production - and that has its price.


3. Sustainable packaging system
   But it's not just your well-being that's important to us, but also nature. That's exactly why we've decided to ensure the highest quality and sustainability in all of our packaging.
   
   If you look at our sustainable, compostable storage pouch, it is 360% more expensive than comparable plastic packaging. We also pay attention to sustainability and the highest quality with our storage jar, because especially with sensitive products such as synbiotics, protecting the capsules from light and moisture is essential in order to ensure optimal effectiveness even after a long time. Our glass jar is not only very stylish, but is particularly sustainable due to its reuse, production in Germany and the possibility of recycling.
   We have also designed all other components of the packaging to keep our ecological footprint as small as possible. The packaging box of the starter kit is made from over 80% recycled cardboard, the sizzle pack (our sustainable filling material to protect the capsules and the jar) is made from shredded waste paper and your welcome insert is made from PaperWise - a sustainable paper alternative for which no trees have to be felled. Other providers do without these aspects and therefore have significantly lower product costs.
   
   The following example illustrates the price difference: a manufacturer who does not place any value on sustainable packaging, but wants to make it particularly affordable, pays around one euro for the entire packaging of his food supplements. We, on the other hand, achieve costs of over six euros thanks to our selected materials. This equates to a price difference of almost 480%!


4. Free shipping throughout Europe
   Due to the special interaction between transient and resident bacterial strains , it makes sense to take probiotics continuously over a long period of time. For this reason, we have developed our Dailybacs subscription. You get a new pack of Dailybacs delivered to your home every month. To make the Dailybacs subscription particularly convenient for you, we ship completely free of charge throughout Europe. We cover the shipping costs for you!
   
   As you can see, all of these measures that we take for you and our environment entail relatively high costs. We very much hope that with this article we have been able to shed some light on our pricing and that you can now better understand how the price of Dailybacs is determined. In short - good quality has its price - and this is exactly what is our top priority.
