Nutrient quality
Inclusion of organic malate and citrate forms improves overall bioavailability compared to pure carbonate. However, a total dose of 1500mg per serving is poorly calibrated for the body's single-dose absorption capacity.
Analysis
The mix of carbonate, citrate, and malate forms is a sophisticated approach to mineral supplementation. It ensures that you get both a high yield from the carbonate and better solubility from the citrate and malate organic salts.
With 1500mg per serving, it provides a lot of material, but you should consider taking it in divided doses for the best results. The main drawback is the complete absence of vitamin D3, which is necessary to actually use all this calcium.
Pros
- Three distinct calcium sources
- High elemental mineral yield
- Uses bioavailable citrate and malate
- 125-serving bulk supply
Cons
- Lacks vitamin D3 cofactor
- Missing magnesium and K2
- Dose is likely too high for one intake
Warnings
- Must be paired with a vitamin D source
- Best taken in split servings
