Product analysis

58 out of 100

Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc provides minerals that support normal bone health and help fill dietary gaps. Each mineral combines forms in undisclosed proportions, making the contribution of the more readily absorbed forms unclear.

AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works

Nutrient Quality29

The mineral mixtures include forms with differing absorption potential. Their undisclosed proportions prevent assuming that the more favorable forms make up most of the serving.

Ingredient Transparency73

Amounts and the main mineral forms are named. Missing mixture proportions still prevent a complete comparison of each mineral source.

Value For Money69

Calcium and zinc have favorable price comparisons, while magnesium offers more moderate value. The mixtures remain difficult to compare by form because their proportions are undisclosed.

Customer Satisfaction88

Customer feedback is strongly positive across several thousand ratings. The large review pool provides a broad view of satisfaction without demonstrating a health effect.

Product Focus54

Bone nutrition is the clearest purpose of the mineral combination. Other proposed uses are more conditional, particularly when mineral intake is already adequate.

Magnesium · 400 mgZinc · 25 mg

Magnesium contributes to energy metabolism, calcium supports bone mineral needs, and zinc contributes to normal antioxidant and immune functions when intake is low. Together they span several nutritional roles, without establishing an extra benefit from combining them. The selected serving receives full saved amount findings, but that does not establish additional benefit above adequate intake or suitability of each amount.

Magnesium · 400 mgCalcium · 1000 mgZinc · 25 mg

Calcium supplies mineral for bone, while magnesium supports normal bone metabolism when dietary intake is low. The serving declares 1000 mg calcium and 400 mg magnesium, so these are substantial mineral contributions rather than trace additions. Zinc also has a normal bone-related cofactor role, but extra zinc has not been shown here to improve adult bone outcomes. The saved findings identify a missing vitamin D partner for calcium.

How this product is rated for Bone Health

Ingredient fit89

Calcium and magnesium supply the main nutritional contribution, with zinc also included in the saved findings.
Goal fit
The three minerals give this formula a concentrated bone-related composition.
Dose adequacy
All three minerals reached the saved amount plateau; higher amounts do not establish greater benefit.

Pathways80

Mineral supply and collagen framework formation were the two strongest saved areas.
Depth
Bone mineral supply was the strongest finding, chiefly from calcium and magnesium.
Breadth
Mineral supply and collagen framework formation reached substantial coverage; absorption was less covered and bone-protein activation absent.

Evidence100

Calcium led the saved evidence finding, supporting intake-gap nutrition rather than an assurance of fracture prevention.
Evidence strength
Calcium was the leading ingredient; its nutritional role is established, while fracture trial results are mixed.
Studied preparation
The three mineral preparations matched the saved preparation criteria without implying superiority of their forms.

Magnesium provides the relevant connection to vascular tone and blood-pressure regulation. Its 400 mg serving receives full amount-based recognition in the saved result, although clinical blood-pressure effects are small and inconsistent. The declared gluconate and oxide forms do not establish superior benefit, and full recognition of the amount is not proof of prevention of heart events.

Zinc contributes to normal immune-cell function, including lymphocyte activity. The declared amount supports a meaningful nutritional contribution, without establishing additional infection protection when zinc intake is adequate. Magnesium’s immune-cell rationale does not establish a routine respiratory benefit from this mineral combination.
