Ingredient Analysis & Evidence

A closer look at the main ingredients, how they influence the score, and the supporting evidence when available. Tap any ingredient to expand.

⚠ Strong evidence exists, but dose is below effective threshold

A clear drag on the formula: Dose is likely below clinically useful levels. The label does not specify the form, so absorption quality cannot be verified.

Scientific evidence

Meta-analysis

Tang et al. meta-analysis calcium supplementation and fracture risk

BMJ • 2007

PMID: 17720017.0

⚠ Dose is below commonly used clinical ranges

This is a limiting factor: Dose is likely below clinically useful levels. The label does not specify the form, so absorption quality cannot be verified.

Clinical dosing guidance

Based on established dosing ranges used in clinical practice.

Min effective: 1500 mgOptimal: 2600 mgUpper: 5000 mgGrade: A

ℹ Dose is below the optimal range with moderate supporting evidence

Adequate, but not a key strength: Dose is directionally useful, but not a standout strength. The declared form supports strong absorption.

Hypertension Research • 2016

PMID: 26676042.0

⚠ Strong evidence exists, but dose is below effective threshold
