Chewable Cal Mag Plus
Shaklee's Chewable Cal Mag Plus is a joint and bone health supplement, featuring 8 ingredients with complete label transparency. This product has an N+ Score of 58, earning it an 'F' grade and positioning it in the average quality tier. Each two-tablet serving provides 600IU of Vitamin D3, 1000mg of Calcium, and 100mg of Magnesium, all of which are at dosages commonly recognized as clinically relevant for bone health. However, ingredients like Zinc (1.5mg), Copper (0.2mg), and Manganese (0.2mg) are notably underdosed compared to amounts often studied for their roles in bone metabolism. The presence of multiple underdosed ingredients impacts its overall ingredient adequacy and formula completeness. This product may be considered by those seeking a chewable calcium, magnesium, and vitamin D supplement, but should be aware of the lower doses of trace minerals.
