Analysis

The formula lists calcium citrate, calcium malate, and dicalcium malate. These are useful organic-acid forms that may suit users seeking an alternative to carbonate.

Each entry shows 300 mg even though the product name refers to 150 mg, creating a meaningful label-interpretation problem. The package should be checked for the actual elemental calcium amount before setting a dose.

Two capsules per serving and 50 servings make the routine manageable but not especially long. The formula offers no vitamin D, magnesium, or vitamin K, keeping it focused on calcium alone.

Who is it for
  • Adults seeking citrate and malate calcium forms
  • Users who can confirm the elemental amount on the package
  • People whose bone cofactors are covered elsewhere
Best for
  • Organic-acid calcium forms
  • Moderate divided dosing
  • Focused calcium supplementation

Pros

  • Uses citrate and malate forms
  • Avoids calcium carbonate
  • Provides clearly named calcium sources

Cons

  • Elemental calcium amount is unclear
  • Requires two capsules
  • Provides only 50 servings
  • Includes no vitamin D or magnesium

Warnings

  • Confirm the elemental calcium amount on the package because the supplied 300 mg entries conflict with the product name.
  • Calcium can reduce absorption of levothyroxine and tetracycline or quinolone antibiotics; separate dosing according to prescriber or pharmacist instructions.

Nutrient quality

93 Highest impact

Calcium citrate and malate are well-regarded forms with good absorption potential. The forms are favorable, but ambiguous form-level amounts and a modest serving reduce certainty.

Ingredient transparency

75 High impact

The total appears to be 300 mg, but repeated amounts make each salt’s contribution unclear. No proprietary blend hides the doses, but full directions and inactive ingredients are not supplied.

Customer satisfaction

62 Moderate impact

The supplied average is strong, with small response volume. Complaint patterns and purpose-related experiences are not supplied.

Value for money

84 Highest impact

Formula quality generally supports the asking price despite some limitations. Serving value is moderate relative to the formula quality.
