A practical calcium-magnesium supplement with a meaningful vitamin D addition, but the pH-balance claim is a weak point and the magnesium form is not clearly identified.
Scoring criteria
Quantity
100 / 100The stated routine provides reasonable supplemental amounts of calcium and magnesium and a meaningful maintenance amount of vitamin D for general bone-health support.
Form
65 / 100Coral calcium is a conventional carbonate source without a recognized comparative advantage, while the magnesium form is not separately identified and may affect its absorption or tolerability.
Convenience
85 / 100The fixed label routine is two capsules once daily, giving one 500 mg calcium, 250 mg magnesium, and 10 mcg vitamin D serving.
Label accuracy
75 / 100The listed amounts are internally consistent, but the claimed acid-base support from an alkaline calcium source is not well substantiated for healthy adults.
Formula balance
75 / 100The calcium-magnesium combination is an ordinary, plausible mineral formula for the stated role without a demonstrated balance advantage or incompatibility.
Purity
75 / 100No product-specific purity testing or contaminant evidence is supplied, so the ordinary unresolved mark applies.
Cofactors
50 / 100The separately quantified 10 mcg of vitamin D has a complementary bone-health role, though added benefit at this amount is not established by the label alone.
