48 out of 100

Liquid Cal/Mag/Zinc Natural Strawberry Flavor supplies minerals that may help fill dietary gaps and support normal bones. Undisclosed source proportions and blend contents make the exact mixture harder to compare.

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

Nutrient Quality34

Phosphorus has a reasonably favorable source, while the calcium forms vary in quality. Unknown magnesium source shares and a partly unidentified mineral source limit confidence in the wider mix.

Ingredient Transparency73

All listed amounts and most forms are disclosed, making much of the serving easy to compare. The mixed-source proportions and the added blend’s components remain unclear.

Value For Money31

The mineral portions appear relatively costly, especially magnesium, while phosphorus offers more moderate value. Inconsistent serving-price information makes the value comparison less certain.

Customer Satisfaction80

Customer ratings are positive across thousands of reviews. The broad feedback describes satisfaction without establishing bone or other health benefits.

Product Focus31

The clearest role is supplying minerals for normal bone health when intake is low. The broad mix and unidentified blend do not establish equal benefits across its other health aims.
