This is a reasonably complete bone-mineral formula providing meaningful calcium and magnesium with supportive vitamin D3 and K2, although magnesium oxide is a less preferable form.
Scoring criteria
Quantity
100 / 100The labeled daily routine provides 532 mg calcium, 266 mg magnesium, 16.6 mcg vitamin D3, and 60 mcg vitamin K2, which is a reasonable maintenance supplemental amount for the stated role.
Form
60 / 100Calcium citrate is a well-tolerated relevant form, but magnesium oxide has comparatively limited absorption and can be less well tolerated, creating a supported limitation in this mixed formula.
Convenience
49.5 / 100The labeled routine is two capsules twice daily, and the container provides 180 capsules.
Label accuracy
100 / 100The quantified nutrient amounts and their listed compound sources are internally consistent, and the repeated vitamin K2 line is not an incompatible amount.
Formula balance
75 / 100The formula covers the stated mineral and vitamin roles in reasonable proportions without an established compatibility problem, while the magnesium form limitation is assessed separately.
Purity
75 / 100The label shows ordinary excipients without a documented contaminant or problematic additive, but no product-specific purity testing is supplied.
Cofactors
75 / 100Vitamin D3 and K2 have relevant complementary roles in calcium metabolism and bone health at declared amounts, although their added clinical benefit varies by individual status.
