  • A week £68.73 × 7 = £481.10 · a month × 30 = £2061.88 · a year × 365 = £25086.15
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Boswellia

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 1 per serving = 30
  • In the pack: 30 × 65 mg = 1.95 g
  • £32.99 ÷ 1.95 g × 300 mg = £5.08 per 300 mg
  • A week £5.08 × 7 = £35.53 · a month × 30 = £152.26 · a year × 365 = £1852.52
