How we worked it out

Multivitamin

  • Servings: 20 ÷ 1 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 1 serving = 20 servings
  • £2.25 ÷ 20 servings × 1 serving = 11.3p per serving
  • A week 11.3p × 7 = 79p · a month × 30 = £3.38 · a year × 365 = £41.06
  • Amount per serving: priced per serving — compare what each serving contains before choosing.

Niacin (vitamin B3)

  • Servings: 20 ÷ 1 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 16 mg = 320 mg
  • £2.25 ÷ 320 mg × 500 mg = £3.52 per 500 mg
  • A week £3.52 × 7 = £24.61 · a month × 30 = £105.47 · a year × 365 = £1283.20
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Pantothenic acid (B5)

  • Servings: 20 ÷ 1 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 6 mg = 120 mg

  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 20 ÷ 1 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 80 mg = 1.6 g
