Formula Quality

Calcium · 540 mg

This protein blend provides a high level of native calcium derived from milk sources, which acts as a structural raw material for bone building. The amino acids from whey and casein also support the organic protein matrix by providing the precursors for collagen formation.

While the calcium content is significant, the product is primarily designed for muscle recovery rather than skeletal support. It lacks the signaling vitamins and trace mineral cofactors required for a specialized bone health supplement.
