Overview

The supplement provides significant doses of calcium and magnesium, using bioavailable forms like magnesium glycinate and Aquamin (red algae-derived calcium) which are well-researched for their roles in bone and general health. However, the efficacy of the numerous other vitamins and minerals included, especially those in smaller amounts or less common ingredients like Hydrilla Verticillata Powder, is less certain due to potential underdosing or lack of human-specific research in this combined formulation.

The Good

Provides substantial, well-dosed Calcium and Magnesium, essential for bone and muscle health.

Utilizes Aquamin red algae as a calcium source, which may offer superior bone benefits compared to other forms.

Includes Magnesium Glycinate, a highly bioavailable and well-tolerated form of magnesium.

The Bad

The efficacy of some minor ingredients, like Hydrilla Verticillata Powder, is not well-supported by human clinical research for supplemental use.

While a broad spectrum is included, the specific forms and dosages of some trace minerals and vitamins (e.g., Vitamin C at 0.2mg) may not be optimal for therapeutic effects.

The combination of many ingredients reduces the likelihood of each being optimally dosed for specific, targeted benefits.
