Product score

60 / 100Good
Category average
77.7 / 100

A practical chewable mineral formula, but even its maximum labeled routine supplies only a modest amount of calcium; the other mineral forms are not fully specified.

Scoring criteria
  • Quantity

    75 / 100

    Three tablets provide 300 mg calcium, a meaningful but modest supplemental amount compared with a typical 500 mg calcium supplement serving.

  • Form

    65 / 100

    Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite is identified as the calcium source, but the absorption-relevant forms of the other substantive minerals are unspecified.

  • Convenience

    70 / 100

    The directions allow one to three tablets once daily; I assess the maximum routine because no permitted routine provides more calcium than three tablets.

  • Label accuracy

    100 / 100

    The matched label gives consistent serving and ingredient amounts without a contradictory claim.

  • Formula balance

    75 / 100

    The listed nutrients form a plausible bone-support combination, with no established compatibility issue apparent from the disclosed amounts.

  • Purity

    75 / 100

    No product-specific purity testing or contaminant information is supplied, so ordinary unresolved quality is the appropriate mark.

  • Cofactors

    0 / 100

    The declared nutrients are components of the bone-support complex, not a separately quantified supporting ingredient beyond its principal formula.
