How we worked it out

Vitamin C

  • In the pack: 84 × 4 g = 336 g
  • £19.13 ÷ 336 g × 1 g = 5.69p per 1 g
  • A week 5.69p × 7 = 40p · a month × 30 = £1.71 · a year × 365 = £20.78
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Calcium

  • In the pack: 84 × 145 mg = 12.2 g
  • £19.13 ÷ 12.2 g × 500 mg = 78.5p per 500 mg calcium
  • A week 78.5p × 7 = £5.50 · a month × 30 = £23.56 · a year × 365 = £286.64
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Magnesium

  • In the pack: 84 × 55 mg = 4.62 g
  • £19.13 ÷ 4.62 g × 100 mg = 41.4p per 100 mg magnesium
  • A week 41.4p × 7 = £2.90 · a month × 30 = £12.42 · a year × 365 = £151.14
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Potassium

  • £19.13 ÷ 30.7 g × 200 mg = 12.5p per 200 mg potassium
  • A week 12.5p × 7 = 87p · a month × 30 = £3.74 · a year × 365 = £45.55
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Zinc

  • In the pack: 84 × 2 mg = 168 mg
  • £19.13 ÷ 168 mg × 15 mg = £1.71 per 15 mg zinc
