Research notes

The extraction shows a base price of '$179.00' displayed alongside each size tier (30/100/250 servings), which reads as if the listed total price is the same across all three size options while only the per-serving unit price changes. This is presented as-is from the page without resolving whether $179.00 is a single anchor/base price label applied uniformly by the page template versus the true price of each size tier -- flagged below as a possible internal inconsistency rather than assumed to be correct.
