  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Folate

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 100 µg = 4.5 mg
  • £27.95 ÷ 4.5 mg × 400 µg = £2.48 per 400 µg

L-Theanine

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45

  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Magnesium

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 70 mg = 3.15 g
