A simple once-daily chewable, but its 100 mg of calcium and modest magnesium and vitamin D amounts make it a limited supplement rather than a substantial source of these nutrients.
Scoring criteria
Quantity
50 / 100At the labelled daily dose, 100 mg calcium, 50 mg magnesium, and 100 IU vitamin D provide clearly partial amounts for the stated bone-development role in children.
Form
65 / 100Calcium citrate is a recognized form with less dependence on stomach acidity than calcium carbonate, but the magnesium and vitamin D forms are unspecified, leaving the overall complex form assessment unresolved.
Convenience
100 / 100The label directs one chewable tablet daily, and the package title states 100 chewables.
Label accuracy
75 / 100The seller’s broad statement that children need 800–1,300 mg calcium does not fit the labelled age range, which includes children ages 1–3 with lower established calcium needs.
Formula balance
75 / 100The listed nutrients form an ordinary bone-support combination, with no established compatibility advantage or mismatch evident from the label.
Purity
75 / 100The supplied information shows ordinary excipients and a GMP-facility claim but no specific independent purity testing or documented defect.
Cofactors
0 / 100Magnesium and vitamin D are part of the co-primary complex, so they do not qualify for a separate cofactor bonus.
