Calcium 600 mg & Vitamin D3
CVS Health's Calcium 600 mg & Vitamin D3 is a single vitamin and mineral supplement designed to support bone health. It contains 600 mg of Calcium, which research suggests is a clinically relevant dose for bone support, alongside 20 mcg (800 IU) of Vitamin D3. However, the Vitamin D3 dosage is considered underdosed based on current clinical recommendations for optimal bone health support. This product received an N+ Score of 55, earning an 'F' grade, primarily due to the underdosed Vitamin D3 and a limited ingredient profile of only two components. While it offers a transparent label, its overall formula completeness and ingredient adequacy are rated low, suggesting it may be a basic option for those seeking calcium supplementation primarily.
