How we worked it out

L-Carnitine

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 300 mg = 9 g
  • £33.35 ÷ 9 g × 1 g = £3.71 per 1 g L-carnitine
  • A week £3.71 × 7 = £25.94 · a month × 30 = £111.17 · a year × 365 = £1352.53
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Alpha-lipoic acid

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 200 mg = 6 g
  • £33.35 ÷ 6 g × 300 mg = £1.67 per 300 mg
  • A week £1.67 × 7 = £11.67 · a month × 30 = £50.03 · a year × 365 = £608.64
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
