Analysis

Calcium citrate provides a vegetarian mineral base, while MK-7 supports bone-protein activation. Magnesium, zinc, copper, manganese, potassium, boron, and vitamin C add useful cofactor coverage.

The formula uses vitamin D2 rather than D3, and magnesium is supplied as oxide. Boron and trace minerals are modest, while the tablet format avoids animal-derived hydroxyapatite.

It suits vegetarian users who want a broad bone formula and prefer calcium citrate. People prioritizing D3, a gentler magnesium form, or fewer tablets may prefer another version.

Who is it for
  • Vegetarian adults seeking broad bone support
  • People who prefer calcium citrate over hydroxyapatite
Best for
  • Vegetarian calcium and K2 supplementation
  • Bone support without animal-derived hydroxyapatite

Pros

  • Vegetarian calcium citrate
  • Includes MK-7
  • Broad mineral cofactors
  • Transparent active amounts

Cons

  • Uses vitamin D2 rather than D3
  • Magnesium oxide form
  • Low boron amount
  • Two-tablet serving

Warnings

  • Keep vitamin K2 intake consistent with warfarin.
  • Calcium can reduce absorption of thyroid hormone, iron, bisphosphonates, and certain antibiotics.
  • Calcium and magnesium may cause digestive effects in sensitive users.

Nutrient quality

Report overview
Calcium (Calcium Citrate) · 333.3 mg OverallScore84
A- Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityB- Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyA+ Value

Well-absorbed calcium citrate supplies a useful and clearly disclosed amount. The serving is efficiently sized and includes K2 plus supporting nutrients. Low serving cost gives the vegetarian bone formula excellent value.

Boron (Boron Citrate) · 1 mg OverallScore48
C Active Ingredient Quality & BioavailabilityD+ Dose, Safety & Label TransparencyF Value

Boron citrate supplies a recognized organic form, but the 1 mg dose is too small for targeted use. The compound is identified without premium source or purity evidence. Its modest serving price still translates to poor normalized boron value.

Calcium Citrate Pure Powder

NOW
<p>Substantial calcium citrate provides a simple, well-absorbed option without the original product’s magnesium oxide or vitamin D2. Vitamin K2, magnesium, and boron are missing, and the supplied data do not confirm whether all inactive ingredients meet vegetarian preferences.</p>

Cal/Mag 500 mg/250 mg

NaturesPlus
<p>Chelated calcium and magnesium provide stronger core mineral forms than the original calcium-citrate and magnesium-oxide pairing. Vitamin D, vitamin K2, and boron are absent, and the supplied data do not confirm vegetarian suitability.</p>
88 Performance

Boron 6 mg

Swanson Ultra
<p>A defined bororganic glycine chelate provides more meaningful boron support than the original lightly dosed amount. It does not replace calcium or other bone cofactors, and the supplied details do not verify all source and excipient choices for a vegetarian user.</p>
87 Budget

Calcium Citrate +D3 Petites

21st Century
<p>Calcium citrate and vitamin D3 provide a focused bone-support base at a lower serving cost. Magnesium, vitamin K2, and boron are missing, but the clearly identified calcium form is more refined than the original product’s magnesium oxide component.</p>
84 Budget

Citracal Petites Calcium Citrate +D3

Bayer Citracal
<p>A moderate calcium amount with vitamin D3 comes in a long-supply format at a lower serving cost. The supplied details do not confirm the calcium form named in the title, and magnesium, vitamin K2, and boron are absent.</p>
82 Budget

Calcium Citrate 600 mg

Spring Valley
<p>A meaningful calcium amount and long supply provide a much lower-cost bone-mineral option. The supplied ingredient details do not verify the citrate form, and the focused product lacks the original formula’s vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, and trace minerals.</p>
88 Value

Calcium Citrate

Nature's Way
<p>Citrate and malate provide useful calcium forms at a lower serving cost. Vitamin D, vitamin K2, magnesium, and boron are absent, but the simple formula offers clear, efficient calcium support with better form flexibility than carbonate-heavy options.</p>
85 Value

600+D3

21st Century
<p>Calcium and vitamin D3 provide a direct bone-maintenance pairing at a very low serving cost. Carbonate is less flexible than citrate and the formula omits magnesium, vitamin K2, and boron, but the economical, focused design delivers good basic value.</p>
88 Value

Boron 5mg

Best Naturals
<p>Boron citrate provides a defined organic form at a meaningful maintenance amount and very low serving cost. It does not replace the original calcium, magnesium, vitamin D, or vitamin K2, but it addresses the original product’s lightly dosed boron more effectively.</p>
