How we worked it out

Omega-3

  • Servings: 180 ÷ 1 per serving = 180
  • In the pack: 180 × 187 mg = 33.7 g
  • £11.25 ÷ 33.7 g × 1 g = 33.4p per 1 g EPA + DHA
  • A week 33.4p × 7 = £2.34 · a month × 30 = £10.03 · a year × 365 = £121.99
  • Amount per serving: label gives only a total, not the individual components.

Vitamin A

  • Servings: 180 ÷ 1 per serving = 180
  • In the pack: 180 × 400 µg = 72 mg
  • £11.25 ÷ 72 mg × 800 µg = 12.5p per 800 µg
  • A week 12.5p × 7 = 88p · a month × 30 = £3.75 · a year × 365 = £45.63
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin D3

  • Servings: 180 ÷ 1 per serving = 180
  • In the pack: 180 × 200 IU = 36,000 IU
  • £11.25 ÷ 36,000 IU × 1,000 IU = 31.3p per 1,000 IU
  • A week 31.3p × 7 = £2.19 · a month × 30 = £9.38 · a year × 365 = £114.06
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
