The 2-Pack That Is Sold As Thirty Days And Is Sixty
A small error with a large consequence, because it is the only number in the pack that could change the serving.
One gummy daily. Thirty gummies a bottle. So one bottle is thirty days.
The 3-pack is sold as a 90-day supply. 3 × 30 = 90. Correct.
The 6-pack is sold as a 180-day supply. 6 × 30 = 180. Correct.
The 2-pack is sold as 30-day / 2 bottles
. 2 × 30 = 60. Not correct.
Two explanations, and this site cannot choose
Either the 2-pack line is a typing error, in which case it is trivial and should be fixed; or the serving is not one gummy a day, in which case every other supply figure in the pack is wrong and so is the per-day cost of all three options.
The document that would settle it is the Supplement Facts panel, which states the serving size and the servings per container as regulated text. It was not supplied. So a one-line discrepancy in a price table turns out to depend on the same missing photograph as everything else.
Why it is worth thirty seconds
If the serving is really two gummies a day, a bottle is fifteen days, the 6-pack is ninety days rather than a hundred and eighty, and the cheapest per-day option on the page is not the one the page says it is.
That is a question for the order desk on +1 (720) 619-8477, and it takes one phone call.
Still deciding?
The two numbers to hold on to: 60 days to ask for your money back, and the seller's own many wait 90 days
before the product can be judged. The third number is the one that is missing — how much of anything is in the gummy.

The struck-through price

What this site cannot tell you is whether Alpha Erec was ever sold at $179 a bottle. A former-price comparison is a claim about history, and no evidence for it was supplied. FTC's guidance is that health claims need competent and reliable scientific evidence
; a price claim needs evidence of a different kind, and this site has none either way.
Prices here are the ones supplied with this product pack. The checkout governs. If what is on your screen differs from what is on this page, the screen is right and this page is out of date.
Questions
Is this a big deal?
Probably not. It is most likely a typing error. It is printed here because this site checks arithmetic and publishes what it finds either way.
Which price is cheapest per day?
At one gummy a day, the 6-pack: $294 for 180 days. That depends on the serving being one a day, which is the thing in question.
Does the struck-through price check too?
Internally, yes: $179 a bottle gives $358, $537 and $1,074. Whether the product was ever sold at $179 is a different question and no evidence for it was supplied.
