Product analysis
Calcium 1000 mg Magnesium 500 mg Zinc 25 mg with Vitamin D supports bone nutrition by supplying minerals when intake is low. The missing proportions of its mineral blends make close comparisons between preparations harder.
AI assessment of the formula, label and price. How scoring works
Nutrient Quality62
Phosphorus and zinc use favorable forms. Calcium and magnesium combine forms with differing characteristics, and the unknown proportions limit comparison of the mixtures.
Ingredient Transparency80
Ingredient amounts and forms are disclosed, allowing useful serving comparisons. The proportions within the calcium, magnesium and zinc mixtures are missing, leaving their composition less clear.
Value For Money57
Calcium and phosphorus offer favorable value, while zinc is more moderate. The magnesium mixture offers less compelling value, and vitamin D value remains uncertain.
Customer Satisfaction87
Customer feedback is very positive across a large review pool. The volume gives a broad picture of satisfaction without establishing health benefits.
Product Focus57
The clearest role is mineral nutrition for bone maintenance and other normal functions when intake is low. The high magnesium amount does not establish greater benefit or suitability, and the small vitamin D contribution should not be equated with a complete bone-support regimen.

Phosphorus (Calcium Hydroxyapatite) · 500 mg OverallScore92
Zinc is a reasonable choice here. Each labeled serving provides 25 mg, a well-matched amount. The zinc comes from Zinc Aspartate, Zinc Bisglycinate, Zinc Citrate and Zinc Picolinate, but the proportions are unknown, making this a mixed choice. The copper amount is unknown, so the zinc-to-copper balance cannot be determined. At about $0.44 per serving of the whole product, it is fair value for someone buying it for zinc; the price covers the whole product.
