A practical calcium-magnesium supplement with a meaningful amount of vitamin D, but the calcium and magnesium forms are not identified clearly enough to judge their comparative absorption properties.
Scoring criteria
Quantity
100 / 100The routine provides 500 mg calcium and 250 mg magnesium, reasonable supplemental amounts for the stated general bone-support role.
Form
65 / 100The calcium and magnesium compound forms are unresolved in the supplied label, so their relevant absorption properties cannot be assessed.
Convenience
76.5 / 100The label directs two capsules daily, preferably divided into doses with food; this assessment uses that routine.
Label accuracy
100 / 100The matched label gives amounts for the listed nutrients and no clear contradiction is apparent.
Formula balance
75 / 100The calcium-magnesium formula is ordinary for its stated role, with no clear compatibility defect or supported special formulation advantage.
Purity
75 / 100No product-specific purity testing or defect is provided, so the ordinary unresolved mark applies.
Cofactors
50 / 100The separately quantified 25 mcg vitamin D3 has a complementary role in calcium metabolism, while added benefit from this combination is uncertain.
