Calcium + D3
L'il Critters Calcium + D3 is a bone health supplement formulated as a gummy bear, containing 5 total ingredients. This product has an N+ Score of 52, earning it an 'F' grade, indicating a below-average quality assessment. It provides Calcium at 200mg per serving, which is considered a clinical dose, potentially supporting bone density. However, both Vitamin D (220 IU) and Phosphorus (100mg) are included in underdosed amounts, which may limit their effectiveness in a comprehensive bone support regimen. The product's gummy format offers a convenient and palatable way to consume calcium. Despite its ease of use, the N+ Score suggests that the overall formulation could be improved, particularly concerning the dosages of co-factor nutrients for bone health. It may suit individuals seeking a simple, chewable calcium supplement.
