A Garcinia cambogia weight management supplement containing a negligible and unsupported amount of calcium, rendering it utterly useless and inappropriate for meeting calcium needs or supporting bone, joint, or heart health.
This product is explicitly a Garcinia cambogia extract supplement, marketed for weight management due to its Hydroxycitric Acid (HCA) content. The elemental calcium (180mg) listed is likely a byproduct of the calcium salt used to stabilize the HCA, not an intentionally added calcium supplement for health benefits. This dose is profoundly inadequate for adult calcium requirements. More critically, the product contains no Vitamin D, magnesium, or Vitamin K2, which are absolutely essential for calcium to be absorbed and properly utilized by the body for bone health or to mitigate any potential cardiovascular concerns. To categorize this as a calcium product for bone, joint, or heart health is a misrepresentation of its primary function and efficacy.
- Provides Garcinia cambogia extract, which is commonly used for weight management.
- Extremely low elemental calcium content (180mg), completely inadequate for supplementation.
- Calcium is likely a byproduct of the Garcinia extract formulation, not a functional ingredient for calcium deficiency.
- Completely lacks essential co-factors like Vitamin D, magnesium, and Vitamin K2.
- Misleadingly categorized as a calcium product given its primary purpose and negligible calcium contribution.
- This product should under no circumstances be considered or used as a calcium supplement.
- Individuals seeking calcium must choose dedicated calcium products with appropriate dosages and co-factors.

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 5.0
The almost non-existent and unsupported calcium content means this product offers absolutely no meaningful contribution to bone health. It is not a bone health 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 minimal and unsupported calcium content provides no positive impact on heart health; in fact, calcium from weight loss supplements without proper balance can sometimes be detrimental.
