A detoxification supplement miscategorized as a calcium product, offering a negligible and ineffective amount of calcium for bone or heart health.
Protocol For Life Balance Calcium D-Glucarate 500 mg is specifically formulated to provide Calcium D-Glucarate, which is known for its role in supporting detoxification processes in the liver and promoting healthy hormone metabolism. It is not intended as a primary source of dietary calcium, as evidenced by its minimal elemental calcium content of just 60mg per serving. The product's inclusion under calcium-related health goals is therefore inappropriate, as its composition cannot effectively contribute to bone, joint, or heart health from a calcium perspective.
- Provides Calcium D-Glucarate for detoxification support.
- Elemental calcium content (60mg) is extremely low and insufficient for supplementation.
- Misleadingly listed with calcium-related health goals.
- Very high price per serving for its negligible calcium contribution.
- Does not include essential cofactors for calcium absorption or utilization.
- Should not be used as a primary calcium supplement.
- Consumers seeking calcium for bone, joint, or heart health will find this product ineffective.

Categories
Calcium 10.0
Contains an insignificant amount of calcium, with its primary function being unrelated to general calcium supplementation, thus offering no practical value in this category for addressing dietary needs.
Goals
Bone Health 10.0
The elemental calcium content (60mg) is far too low to provide any meaningful support for adult bone health, making it an ineffective choice for bone strengthening.
Joint Health 10.0
With a negligible amount of calcium, this product cannot adequately contribute to the structural or functional support required for joint health and mobility.
Heart Health 10.0
The minimal calcium dosage offers no substantial benefit for cardiovascular health in the context of calcium supplementation, as it cannot meet daily requirements.
