How we worked it out

Turmeric / curcumin

  • Servings: 120 ÷ 1 per serving = 120
  • In the pack: 120 × 404 mg = 48.5 g
  • £72.99 ÷ 48.5 g × 500 mg = 75.3p per 500 mg
  • A week 75.3p × 7 = £5.27 · a month × 30 = £22.58 · a year × 365 = £274.77
  • Amount per serving: active constituent content stated on the label (or its stated percentage of the extract).

Black pepper (piperine)

  • Servings: 120 ÷ 1 per serving = 120
  • In the pack: 120 × 5 mg = 600 mg
  • £72.99 ÷ 600 mg × 5 mg = 60.8p per 5 mg
  • A week 60.8p × 7 = £4.26 · a month × 30 = £18.25 · a year × 365 = £222.01
  • Amount per serving: extract weight stated on the label.
