Calcium Citrate + D3
This Foods Plus Calcium Citrate + D3 supplement is a single vitamin and mineral product designed to support bone health. Each serving provides 315mg of Calcium, which is noted as being at a clinical dose, alongside 200 IU of Vitamin D. However, the Vitamin D dosage is considered underdosed based on current research for optimal efficacy. With an N+ Score of 47 and a grade of F, this product falls into the below-average tier, indicating significant room for improvement in formulation and ingredient dosages. Consumers seeking comprehensive bone support may find this product's Vitamin D content insufficient. This product is best suited for individuals specifically looking for a calcium supplement with a minimal addition of Vitamin D, but should be aware of the underdosed Vitamin D.
