Calcium Citrate & Vitamin D
This Swanson Premium Brand supplement is a bone health product combining Calcium Citrate and Vitamin D, designed to support skeletal integrity. Each two-tablet serving provides 630mg of Calcium, which is at a clinically studied dose, alongside 10mcg of Vitamin D. However, the Vitamin D dosage is considered underdosed compared to amounts commonly associated with significant bone health benefits. The product receives an N+ Score of 55, earning an 'F' grade, indicating it is an average-tier product with room for improvement in ingredient dosing. With only two active ingredients, this product offers limited complexity. It may be suitable for individuals seeking basic calcium supplementation, provided they address potential Vitamin D deficiencies through other means.
