  • In the pack: 250 × 670 mg = 167.5 g
  • £48.38 ÷ 167.5 g × 1 g = 28.9p per 1 g
  • A week 28.9p × 7 = £2.02 · a month × 30 = £8.67 · a year × 365 = £105.43
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Calcium

  • Servings: 250 ÷ 1 per serving = 250
  • In the pack: 250 × 20 mg = 5 g
  • £48.38 ÷ 5 g × 500 mg = £4.84 per 500 mg calcium
  • A week £4.84 × 7 = £33.87 · a month × 30 = £145.14 · a year × 365 = £1765.87
