How we worked it out

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 500 mg = 30 g
  • £3.50 ÷ 30 g × 1 g = 11.7p per 1 g
  • A week 11.7p × 7 = 82p · a month × 30 = £3.50 · a year × 365 = £42.58
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Zinc

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 15 mg = 900 mg
  • £3.50 ÷ 900 mg × 15 mg = 5.83p per 15 mg zinc
  • A week 5.83p × 7 = 41p · a month × 30 = £1.75 · a year × 365 = £21.29
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
