  • Amount per serving: priced per serving — compare what each serving contains before choosing.

Calcium

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 120 mg = 3.6 g
  • £4.50 ÷ 3.6 g × 500 mg = 62.5p per 500 mg calcium
  • A week 62.5p × 7 = £4.38 · a month × 30 = £18.75 · a year × 365 = £228.13

  • A week 25p × 7 = £1.75 · a month × 30 = £7.50 · a year × 365 = £91.25
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 16 mg = 480 mg
  • £4.50 ÷ 480 mg × 500 mg = £4.69 per 500 mg
  • A week £4.69 × 7 = £32.81 · a month × 30 = £140.63 · a year × 365 = £1710.94
