Product analysis
Bone Meal Powder supplies calcium to help fill low intake and support normal bones. Its mineral sources are named without clear proportions, limiting comparisons.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality32
Calcium offers moderate absorption quality, while phosphorus quality remains uncertain. The magnesium sources are named but lack enough information for a firm quality comparison.
Ingredient Transparency80
All mineral amounts and sources are stated, making serving comparisons easier. The proportions within the mixed sources are not disclosed.
Value For Money77
The serving cost offers good value when considered for calcium and phosphorus. Magnesium lacks a reliable separate cost comparison.
Customer Satisfaction82
Customer feedback is positive. Well over a thousand reviews provide a substantial picture of satisfaction.
Product Focus86
The formula has a clear role in filling calcium gaps for normal bone health. The substantial calcium serving should be considered alongside food and other supplements, since total daily needs are not a serving target.

Highest effect
Phosphorus · 440 mgMagnesium · 15 mgCalcium · 1300 mg
Calcium supplies material for bone mineralization when dietary intake is low, while phosphorus matters when phosphorus depletion limits mineralization. The 1300 mg calcium serving is a substantial supplemental amount; adult total daily needs from all sources are not a serving target. Magnesium is too low to contribute in the saved findings, and the calcium contribution has an unmet partner requirement. Fracture outcomes with calcium supplements are mixed.
How this product is rated for Bone Health
Ingredient fit90
Calcium is a key ingredient in the saved bone-related findings. The amounts provide uneven support.
Goal fit
The disclosed formula is focused on supplying bone minerals.
Dose adequacy
The disclosed amounts provide uneven or partial support; unknown quantities limit their contributions without establishing ineffectiveness.
Pathways60
Coverage is strongest for bone mineral supply. The breadth finding includes bone mineral supply.
Depth
The strongest saved coverage concerns bone mineral supply; coverage does not establish a change in bone density or fracture risk.
Breadth
The routes meeting the breadth criterion are bone mineral supply. Other bone functions receive less or no coverage.
Evidence100
Calcium supports filling dietary gaps for normal mineralization; fracture results are mixed, and larger supplemental amounts do not establish added benefit.
Evidence strength
Calcium supports filling dietary gaps for normal mineralization; fracture results are mixed, and larger supplemental amounts do not establish added benefit.
Studied preparation
The credited preparations meet the saved criteria, while the supplied nutritional, population and outcome limitations still apply.
Formulation logic91
The saved findings identify an unmet partner requirement for calcium; its contribution is retained with that limitation. No evaluated ingredient conflict was identified.
Partner coverage
The saved findings identify an unmet partner requirement for calcium; its contribution is retained with that limitation.
Conflicts
No ingredient conflict was identified by the evaluated rules.
Effective doses
All credited ingredients meet the saved minimum amount criterion; this is not a proven effective dose or fracture-prevention threshold.
Ingredients
| Ingredient | Amount per serving | Score |

Phosphorus (Bone Meal) · 440 mg OverallScore52
Each serving provides 440 mg of phosphorus, but its chemical form is not identified in the available information. The whole-product serving costs about $0.39.
How this ingredient is rated
Active Ingredient Quality & Bioavailability0
The available information does not identify the phosphorus compound, so its chemical form cannot be assessed.
Phosphorus Form Quality
The available form data do not identify the phosphorus compound, so its form cannot be assessed.
Form Disclosure Clarity
The available facts do not identify a named phosphorus source on the phosphorus line or in Other Ingredients.
Dose, Safety & Label Transparency80
The label specifies 440 mg of phosphorus per serving, a relatively high supplemental amount.
Dose Adequacy and Safety
The 440 mg of phosphorus per serving is a relatively high supplemental amount.
Elemental Dose Transparency
The label states the phosphorus amount itself: 440 mg per serving.
Value100
The whole-product serving costs about $0.39, on the lower end of the evaluated prices.
Price Per Serving Efficiency
At about $0.39 per whole-product serving, the price is on the lower end of the evaluated prices.
Calcium (Bone Meal, Calcium Carbonate) · 1300 mg OverallScore60
Each serving provides 1,300 mg of calcium as calcium carbonate, a large amount. The evaluation indicates that absorption may be less efficient at this serving size.
How this ingredient is rated
Active Ingredient Quality & Bioavailability65
The serving lists 1,300 mg of calcium from calcium carbonate.
Calcium Form & Absorption Potential
Calcium carbonate is the identified source of calcium.
Elemental Calcium Transparency
The amount of elemental calcium is individually disclosed as 1,300 mg per serving.
Dose, Safety & Label Transparency46
A serving supplies 1,300 mg of calcium. No flagged artificial additives or flow agents are recorded; the sugar amount is not available.
Absorption-Optimized Serving Dose
A serving provides 1,300 mg of calcium, a large amount that the evaluation indicates may be absorbed less efficiently.
Formulation Purity & Additives
No flagged artificial additives or flow agents are recorded; the sugar amount is not available.
Value80
At about $0.39 per whole-product serving, the price is around the middle of the comparison.
Price Per Serving Efficiency
At about $0.39 per whole-product serving, the price is around the middle of the comparison.
