How we worked it out

Glucosamine

  • Servings: 120 ÷ 2 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 1 g = 60 g
  • £17.99 ÷ 60 g × 1.5 g = 45p per 1.5 g
  • A week 45p × 7 = £3.15 · a month × 30 = £13.49 · a year × 365 = £164.16
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 120 ÷ 2 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 40 mg = 2.4 g
  • £17.99 ÷ 2.4 g × 1 g = £7.50 per 1 g
  • A week £7.50 × 7 = £52.47 · a month × 30 = £224.87 · a year × 365 = £2735.98
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
