Nutrient quality
Provision of diverse mineral forms such as citrates and gluconates supports improved bioavailability over simple oxides. The vitamin D3 inclusion is helpful but remains at a minimal maintenance level.
Analysis
This tablet combines Calcium, Magnesium, and Zinc with 200 IU of Vitamin D3. The Vitamin D here is mainly included to help your body use the minerals effectively, particularly for supporting bone density and immune health.
Since it’s a tablet and the Vitamin D dose is very low, it isn't an efficient way to raise your Vitamin D levels if they are low. However, it's a very popular and affordable choice for broad mineral support.
Pros
- Provides multiple essential minerals in one pill
- Very affordable for a 100-day supply
- Helpful for supporting bone mineral density
- Uses Zinc Citrate and Magnesium Gluconate
Cons
- 200 IU of Vitamin D is negligible for most adults
- Tablet form is less absorbable for Vitamin D than softgels
- Large tablets can be hard to swallow
Warnings
- Don't rely on this as your primary Vitamin D source
- Take with food to avoid stomach upset from the minerals
