Platinum Pump Pre-Workout Caffeine-Free Powder, Lemon Lime, 380 g

£30.00 for 380 g at Optimum Nutrition. It carries more than one active ingredient, so it is not ranked against single-ingredient products. Each price below counts one ingredient only.

What it really costs, per 500 mg£156.25One 500 mg dose is our comparison unit for niacin (vitamin B3). It is not a recommendation.
A day£156.25
A week£1093.75
A month£4687.50
A year£57031.25

At one 500 mg dose a day, this pack lasts under a day. A month is 30 days, so twelve of them is not quite a year.

How we worked it out

Niacin (vitamin B3)

  • Servings: 380 ÷ 19 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 4.8 mg = 96 mg
  • £30.00 ÷ 96 mg × 500 mg = £156.25 per 500 mg
  • A week £156.25 × 7 = £1093.75 · a month × 30 = £4687.50 · a year × 365 = £57031.25
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Beta-alanine

  • Servings: 380 ÷ 19 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 3.2 g = 64 g
  • £30.00 ÷ 64 g × 3.2 g = £1.50 per 3.2 g
  • A week £1.50 × 7 = £10.50 · a month × 30 = £45.00 · a year × 365 = £547.50
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Choline

  • Servings: 380 ÷ 19 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 200 mg = 4 g
  • £30.00 ÷ 4 g × 250 mg = £1.88 per 250 mg choline bitartrate
  • A week £1.88 × 7 = £13.13 · a month × 30 = £56.25 · a year × 365 = £684.38
  • Amount per serving: estimated from the compound weight using our conversion factor.

L-Arginine

  • Servings: 380 ÷ 19 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 2 g = 40 g
  • £30.00 ÷ 40 g × 3 g = £2.25 per 3 g
  • A week £2.25 × 7 = £15.75 · a month × 30 = £67.50 · a year × 365 = £821.25
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

L-Citrulline

  • Servings: 380 ÷ 19 per serving = 20
  • In the pack: 20 × 8 g = 160 g
  • £30.00 ÷ 160 g × 3 g = 56.3p per 3 g L-citrulline
  • A week 56.3p × 7 = £3.94 · a month × 30 = £16.88 · a year × 365 = £205.31
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
