Quick Answer
The cost-out: assembling quality single-ingredient versions of all six actives runs $60-110 monthly at honest retail against the bundle's $49-79 — before the logistics tax (six reorder cycles, six timing rules) and the adherence decay the strategy guide documents. DIY serves dose-tinkering hobbyists; the formula serves everyone else's actual life.
Pricing The Parts
The shopping list, quality-tier prices: chromium ($8-15/month), African mango extract ($15-25 — the trickiest to source well, standardization varying wildly), green tea extract ($10-20), guarana ($10-18), maca ($12-22), grape seed ($10-20) — the honest monthly range landing $65-120 for six bottles of separate manufacturer promises, against the formula's $49-79 tier span for the pre-assembled team.
The hidden columns compound: six shipping-and-reorder cycles, the counter clutter the switcher reviews mourned, and the dose-matching problem — single-ingredient products dose for solo use, not team roles, making true replication guesswork anyway.
The Adherence Verdict And The Real DIY Lane
The decisive column repeats from every strategy guide: six-product regimens decay toward the 60-70% adherence the capsule graveyard documents, while the four-second single-dropper holds the mid-90s — and cumulative formulas pay only on days delivered, making the adherence gap the real price gap. Cost-per-*delivered*-day, the formula wins before the sticker math even finishes.
The legitimate DIY lane stays open: ingredient hobbyists who genuinely maintain spreadsheets, want per-active dose sovereignty and enjoy the machinery — the strategy guide's honest minority — should DIY and enjoy it. Everyone else's drawer of abandoned singles has already voted. The hybrid remains available too: formula as base, the one doctor-guided extra on top. Build it yourself if building is the hobby; buy the team if results are.
