How we worked it out

Vitamin B12

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 800 µg = 48 mg
  • £14.49 ÷ 48 mg × 1 mg = 30.2p per 1 mg
  • A week 30.2p × 7 = £2.11 · a month × 30 = £9.06 · a year × 365 = £110.18
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Folate

  • Servings: 60 ÷ 1 per serving = 60
  • In the pack: 60 × 800 µg = 48 mg
  • £14.49 ÷ 48 mg × 400 µg = 12.1p per 400 µg
  • A week 12.1p × 7 = 85p · a month × 30 = £3.62 · a year × 365 = £44.07
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
