Reading the $240
The gap between Embody and NexLife is $240 a year, or $20 a month. Against it sit laboratory review, an itemised coaching bundle, a flat-dose statement, a standing price and a subscription you can cancel — and against Trimi’s $168 gap sit labs and the cancel-anytime terms, with Trimi holding the only unconditional refund (on ineligibility) and a real, conditional promise after six months. None of the three states the milligrams per month the price covers; ask before paying. The labs report, the dose-price audit and the refund test each take one column of this table further.
