How we worked it out

Folate

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 400 µg = 24 mg
  • £16.79 ÷ 24 mg × 400 µg = 28p per 400 µg
  • A week 28p × 7 = £1.96 · a month × 30 = £8.40 · a year × 365 = £102.14
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin B12

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 25 µg = 1.5 mg
  • £16.79 ÷ 1.5 mg × 1 mg = £11.19 per 1 mg
  • A week £11.19 × 7 = £78.35 · a month × 30 = £335.80 · a year × 365 = £4085.57
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
