Kaprycidin-A
Kaprycidin-A from Ecological Formulas is a mineral supplement, providing a focused blend of essential minerals. Each capsule delivers 15mg of Zinc, which is present at a clinically studied dose, potentially supporting various bodily functions. However, other listed minerals such as Calcium (70mg), Phosphorus (51mg), and Magnesium (20mg) are identified as underdosed when compared to typical clinical recommendations. This product received an N+ Score of 55 and a grade of 'F', placing it in the average tier for quality and efficacy. While label transparency is excellent at 100%, the ingredient adequacy and formula completeness scores are both 25%, suggesting a limited scope or insufficient dosing for multiple ingredients. This supplement may appeal to those specifically targeting zinc intake, but it is not a comprehensive mineral support product.
