Analysis

California Gold Nutrition Children's Liquid Calcium with Magnesium Orange is exceptionally well-formulated for its target audience. It delivers 216mg elemental calcium from calcium magnesium citrate pentahydrate, alongside 76mg elemental magnesium (from citrate forms), resulting in a well-balanced Ca:Mg ratio (approx. 2.8:1). It also includes 3.4mcg (136 IU) of Vitamin D3, crucial for calcium absorption, and 1.4mg of zinc. The liquid form, combined with a natural orange flavor, ensures excellent palatability and ease of use for children, promoting consistent intake. This comprehensive blend of key bone-building nutrients is offered at a very competitive price ($0.08 per serving).

Pros
  • Ideal for children with an easy-to-take liquid form and pleasant flavor.
  • Provides calcium and magnesium in highly bioavailable citrate forms.
  • Features a well-balanced calcium-to-magnesium ratio (approx. 2.8:1) for synergistic benefits.
  • Includes essential Vitamin D3 and beneficial zinc for comprehensive bone development.
  • Very cost-effective for a multi-nutrient liquid formula.
Cons
  • While sufficient for children, the D3 dose might be considered low for broader adult needs if used off-label.
Warnings
  • Always follow recommended dosages for children to prevent excessive intake of minerals.
