Product analysis

51 out of 100

Super D-K Calcium Plus Raspberry Lemonade Flavor may help fill calcium and magnesium gaps and support normal bone nutrition. Magnesium carbonate is a less favourable choice for absorption, which matters when comparing similar supplements.

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

Nutrient Quality45

Methylfolate, MK-7 and potassium bicarbonate have favourable form characteristics. Calcium lactate and magnesium carbonate are less favourable choices for absorption, while several other ingredient forms remain uncertain.

Ingredient Transparency73

All ingredient amounts and most forms are listed, helping with serving comparisons. Some forms and the mixture breakdown remain incomplete.

Value For Money43

Potassium offers favourable value, while calcium and vitamin K are moderate within the serving cost. Magnesium and folate are less competitive, and several other comparisons remain uncertain.

Customer Satisfaction73

Customer ratings are positive across a few hundred responses. That provides a useful picture of satisfaction without proving bone or sleep benefits.

Product Focus21

The clearest role is filling mineral gaps and supporting normal bone and muscle function. Possible sleep, stress and cardiovascular benefits are limited or depend on nutritional needs.
