How we worked it out

Milk thistle

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 80 mg = 4.8 g
  • £14.39 ÷ 4.8 g × 150 mg = 45p per 150 mg
  • A week 45p × 7 = £3.15 · a month × 30 = £13.49 · a year × 365 = £164.14
  • Amount per serving: active constituent content stated on the label (or its stated percentage of the extract).

Choline

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 82.5 mg = 4.95 g
  • £14.39 ÷ 4.95 g × 250 mg = 72.7p per 250 mg choline
  • A week 72.7p × 7 = £5.09 · a month × 30 = £21.80 · a year × 365 = £265.27
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
