What it really costs, per 500 mg calcium21pOne 500 mg dose is our comparison unit for calcium. It is not a recommendation.
A day21p
A week£1.49

At one 500 mg dose a day, this pack lasts 24 days. A month is 30 days, so twelve of them is not quite a year.

How we worked it out

Calcium

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 2 per serving = 15
  • In the pack: 15 × 800 mg = 12 g
  • £5.10 ÷ 12 g × 500 mg = 21.3p per 500 mg calcium
  • A week 21.3p × 7 = £1.49 · a month × 30 = £6.38 · a year × 365 = £77.56
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Copper

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 2 per serving = 15
  • In the pack: 15 × 1 mg = 15 mg
  • £5.10 ÷ 15 mg × 1 mg = 34p per 1 mg copper
  • A week 34p × 7 = £2.38 · a month × 30 = £10.20 · a year × 365 = £124.10
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Magnesium

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 2 per serving = 15
  • In the pack: 15 × 300 mg = 4.5 g
  • £5.10 ÷ 4.5 g × 100 mg = 11.3p per 100 mg magnesium
  • A week 11.3p × 7 = 79p · a month × 30 = £3.40 · a year × 365 = £41.37
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Vitamin D3

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 2 per serving = 15
  • In the pack: 15 × 400 IU = 6,000 IU
  • £5.10 ÷ 6,000 IU × 1,000 IU = 85p per 1,000 IU
  • A week 85p × 7 = £5.95 · a month × 30 = £25.50 · a year × 365 = £310.25
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.

Zinc

  • Servings: 30 ÷ 2 per serving = 15
  • In the pack: 15 × 10 mg = 150 mg
  • £5.10 ÷ 150 mg × 15 mg = 51p per 15 mg zinc
  • A week 51p × 7 = £3.57 · a month × 30 = £15.30 · a year × 365 = £186.15
  • Amount per serving: stated on the label.
