At one 1 g dose a day, this pack lasts 3 months. A month is 30 days, so twelve of them is not quite a year.

How we worked it out

  • Servings: 160 ÷ 1 per serving = 160
  • In the pack: 160 × 500 mg = 80 g
  • £14.99 ÷ 80 g × 1 g = 18.7p per 1 g
  • A week 18.7p × 7 = £1.31 · a month × 30 = £5.62 · a year × 365 = £68.39
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

The standard dose is a comparison unit, not a recommendation. Always confirm the price on the retailer's site. How we compare everything.
