Decision summary

CONSIDERSOLID OPTION

Best for

People prioritizing high absorption and overall formula quality.

Consider another option if

Score breakdown

Tap a module to see what it measures. A 0 can reflect missing disclosure, not just a negative result.

Dosage quality

5.2/10

Acceptable dosing, but not standout

Checks whether labeled ingredient amounts fall within clinically studied ranges (not just regulatory minimums). Low/0 can reflect under-dosing or missing amounts (e.g., proprietary blends).

Score summary

Vitamin-d: high-bioavailability form declared (Cholecalciferol (D3)). The main limitation is that proprietary blend prevents independent dose verification.

Strengths

Vitamin-d: high-bioavailability form declared (Cholecalciferol (D3))
Vitamin-k2: dose within clinically studied range (evidence B)

Weaknesses

Proprietary blend prevents independent dose verification
Vitamin-d: below clinically studied range
Vitamin-k2: chemical form not specified on label

Final verdict

A middling option. It may be usable, but weaker dosing makes better alternatives worth comparing.
