How we worked it out

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 1 per serving = 90
  • In the pack: 90 × 500 mg = 45 g
  • £11.99 ÷ 45 g × 1 g = 26.6p per 1 g
  • A week 26.6p × 7 = £1.87 · a month × 30 = £7.99 · a year × 365 = £97.25
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Zinc

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 1 per serving = 90
  • In the pack: 90 × 5 mg = 450 mg
  • £11.99 ÷ 450 mg × 15 mg = 40p per 15 mg zinc
  • A week 40p × 7 = £2.80 · a month × 30 = £11.99 · a year × 365 = £145.88
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
