An eye health supplement with an incidental and inadequate amount of unsupported calcium, rendering it unsuitable and ineffective for meeting calcium requirements or supporting bone, joint, or heart health.
This product is specifically formulated as a Lutein supplement for eye health, containing 10mg of Lutein. While it lists 222mg of elemental calcium (as calcium carbonate), this amount is far below the daily recommended intake for adults and is likely included as a filler or binding agent rather than a functional calcium dose. Critically, the product lacks Vitamin D, which is essential for calcium absorption, as well as magnesium and Vitamin K2, which are vital for bone mineralization and directing calcium away from soft tissues. Therefore, relying on this product for calcium needs related to bone, joint, or heart health would be entirely ineffective and a misuse of the product. Its price is reasonable for a Lutein supplement, but not for calcium.
- Provides Lutein, an antioxidant beneficial for eye health.
- Very low elemental calcium content (222mg), completely inadequate for primary calcium supplementation.
- Completely lacks Vitamin D, magnesium, and Vitamin K2, crucial for calcium absorption and proper utilization.
- Not designed as a calcium supplement, leading to poor value if that is the goal.
- Misleadingly categorized as a calcium product given its primary purpose and negligible calcium contribution.
- This product should not be considered a source of significant calcium for nutritional needs.
- Individuals requiring calcium supplementation should seek dedicated calcium products.

Categories
Calcium 25.0
This product is severely miscategorized in the calcium collection. Its calcium content is incidental and insufficient to provide any meaningful nutritional benefit as a calcium supplement, making it a highly inefficient and inappropriate choice.
Goals
Bone Health 10.0
The minimal and unsupported calcium content means this product provides no meaningful support for bone health. It is not intended or effective as a bone supplement.
Joint Health 5.0
With negligible calcium and no specific joint-supporting ingredients, this product is entirely irrelevant for joint health goals.
Heart Health 5.0
The trace amount of calcium and absence of Vitamin K2 mean this product offers no beneficial impact on heart health related to calcium supplementation.
