Folic Acid, 240 tablets
£10.99 for 240 tablets at Healthspan. That works out at 5p per 400 µg, which ranks it 8th of the 16 folic acid products we price across 9 UK retailers.
At one 400 µg dose a day, this pack lasts 8 months. A month is 30 days, so twelve of them is not quite a year.
How we worked it out
- Servings: 240 ÷ 1 per serving = 240
- In the pack: 240 × 400 µg = 96 mg
- £10.99 ÷ 96 mg × 400 µg = 4.58p per 400 µg
- A week 4.58p × 7 = 32p · a month × 30 = £1.37 · a year × 365 = £16.71
- Amount per serving: stated on the label.
