Blackmores Total Calcium & Magnesium + D3
Blackmores
Overview
This Blackmores supplement provides a beneficial combination of calcium, magnesium, and cofactors like Vitamin D3 and K1, crucial for bone health and overall physiological functions. While the forms of calcium and magnesium offer varied absorption rates, the inclusion of Vitamin D3 (200 IU per tablet) is at a generally accepted maintenance dose, and Vitamin K1 supports bone mineralization. The doses of Zinc, Manganese, Vitamin C, and Folic Acid are supportive but generally considered maintenance rather than therapeutic for significant deficiencies.
The Good
Comprehensive mineral and vitamin support blend for bone health.
Multiple forms of calcium and magnesium to optimize absorption.
Includes synergistic cofactors Vitamin D3 and K1 for enhanced bone mineralization.
The Bad
Magnesium oxide content (102.5 mg elemental Magnesium per tablet) has lower bioavailability compared to other forms.
Vitamin D3 dose (200 IU per tablet) is on the lower end for individuals with significant deficiency.
Vitamin K1 dose (5 mcg per tablet) is quite low, potentially limiting its full bone health benefits.
Is it for you?
Best For: Individuals looking to support bone health, muscle function, and nerve health, especially those with inadequate dietary intake of calcium and magnesium.
Skip If: You have pre-existing kidney conditions, hypercalcemia, hypermagnesemia, or are taking medications that may interact with calcium, magnesium, or Vitamin D. Consult a healthcare professional if pregnant or breastfeeding.
