How we worked it out

Turmeric / curcumin

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 404 mg = 24.2 g
  • £31.99 ÷ 24.2 g × 500 mg = 66p per 500 mg
  • A week 66p × 7 = £4.62 · a month × 30 = £19.80 · a year × 365 = £240.85
  • Amount per serving: active constituent content stated on the label (or its stated percentage of the extract).

Black pepper (piperine)

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 5 mg = 300 mg
  • £31.99 ÷ 300 mg × 5 mg = 53.3p per 5 mg
  • A week 53.3p × 7 = £3.73 · a month × 30 = £16.00 · a year × 365 = £194.61
  • Amount per serving: extract weight stated on the label.
