We may earn a commission on purchases made through these links. It does not increase the price you pay, and commission plays no part in how products are matched or ordered. Prices and formulations change frequently — check the current pack before buying.

How the cost works out

Lowest pack price: £33
Servings: 60
Cost per serving: 55p
Cost per 30 days: £16.50

Cost per serving is the fairest way to compare, because pack sizes vary enormously within the same category. It still does not account for how much active ingredient is in each serving — check that too.
