Claims 'chelated' forms, but lacks ingredient transparency and essential Vitamin D3.
American Health's Chelated Calcium Magnesium Zinc product positions itself as having superior absorption due to its 'chelated' forms. However, the lack of an actual ingredient list within the provided data is a significant drawback, making it impossible to confirm the quality or specific types of chelation. Furthermore, the exclusion of Vitamin D3 means that calcium absorption, a primary goal for such a supplement, will not be optimized. Its performance is likely superior to generic oxide/carbonate blends but falls short of truly comprehensive bone and mineral support.
- Product name suggests 'chelated' forms, implying better bioavailability than common oxides/carbonates.
- Mid-range price per serving compared to other premium options.
- No detailed ingredient list to verify specific chelated forms or dosages.
- Does not include Vitamin D3, which is crucial for calcium absorption and bone health.
- Lack of transparency makes it difficult for consumers to make informed decisions.
- The absence of a complete ingredient list means consumers cannot confirm the quality or exact composition of the 'chelated' minerals.

Categories
Zinc 60.0
The 'chelated' designation indicates a more bioavailable form of zinc, generally superior to zinc oxide. This would allow for better absorption and utilization, making it a relatively effective source of zinc, though specific chelate matters.
Magnesium 55.0
Being 'chelated' suggests a better form than magnesium oxide, leading to higher absorption and effectiveness. However, without knowing the specific chelate (e.g., citrate, glycinate), its full potential cannot be confirmed, placing it in a moderate range.
Calcium 45.0
The 'chelated' claim implies improved bioavailability over calcium carbonate, but the specific form is unknown. The absence of Vitamin D3 significantly lowers its effective absorption and utility as a standalone calcium supplement, thus not reaching optimal scores.
Goals
Joint Health 55.0
The 'chelated' forms of magnesium and zinc, if effectively absorbed, could offer decent support for joint health through their roles in reducing inflammation and supporting tissue repair. However, specific benefits would depend on the actual forms and dosages.
Heart Health 55.0
Magnesium is very important for cardiovascular health. Assuming genuinely chelated magnesium, it would likely be well-absorbed and contribute positively to heart function. The lack of K2 is a common omission but not unique to this product.
Fitness 55.0
Better absorbed magnesium and zinc forms would aid muscle function, energy production, and post-exercise recovery more effectively than less bioavailable forms. This product, due to its 'chelated' nature, should offer a moderate benefit for fitness goals.
