Research notes

Data drawn primarily from a direct fetch of the product page plus a supplementary web search snippet. The search snippet quoted a $4.80/serving price and 'sold out' status; the direct page fetch listed different per-serving prices ($3.84/$3.22/$2.74) and did not flag an out-of-stock state. These may reflect the page being viewed at different times/price updates, or the search snippet aggregating stale/cached content.
