How we worked it out

Vitamin C

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 32 mg = 1.44 g
  • £38.39 ÷ 1.44 g × 1 g = £26.66 per 1 g
  • A week £26.66 × 7 = £186.62 · a month × 30 = £799.79 · a year × 365 = £9730.80
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Chondroitin

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 800 mg = 36 g
  • £38.39 ÷ 36 g × 800 mg = 85.3p per 800 mg
  • A week 85.3p × 7 = £5.97 · a month × 30 = £25.59 · a year × 365 = £311.39
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Glucosamine

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 1 g = 45 g

  • A week £1.28 × 7 = £8.96 · a month × 30 = £38.39 · a year × 365 = £467.08
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Manganese

  • Servings: 90 ÷ 2 per serving = 45
  • In the pack: 45 × 0.66 mg = 29.7 mg
