A slight CI ranking deduction for its use of a synthetic vitamins and minerals. Published research in the last few years concludes that synthetic and other unnatural nutrients are mostly ineffective in preventing disease. Should this product utilize a natural vitamin and mineral sources rather than a synthetic alternative, it would achieve an exemplary rating of 100.
A slight CI ranking deduction for its use of calcium lactate, a synthetic food additive. It is a fast-dissolving source of calcium that can be used in food, beverage, and nutrition products as a buffer, paste regulator, yeast food, nutrition additive, curing agent, anti-oxidation synergist, antioxidant, fruit and vegetable color protective agent, flavoring agent, and flavor improver. When ingested within established limits, it provides advantages for calcium fortification. Nevertheless, when used in conjunction with other calcium additives, such as sodium phosphate or dipotassium phosphate, it may lead to an excessive intake of phosphorus, which is linked to cardiovascular issues and compromised kidney function. Should this product utilize a natural calcium source rather than a synthetic alternative, it would achieve an exemplary rating of 100.
A slight CI ranking deduction for its use of tri-calcium phosphate, a synthetic food additive. Tri-calcium phosphate is produced through a chemical reaction that involves calcium oxide and phosphoric acid. In the realm of food processing, tri-calcium phosphate serves as both an anti-caking agent and a calcium fortifier. When ingested within established limits, it provides advantages for calcium fortification. Nevertheless, when used in conjunction with other phosphate additives, such as sodium phosphate or dipotassium phosphate, it may lead to an excessive intake of phosphorus, which is linked to cardiovascular issues and compromised kidney function. Should this product utilize a natural calcium source rather than a synthetic alternative, it would achieve an exemplary rating of 100.
A slight CI ranking deduction for its use of a synthetic Vitamin D. Published research in the last few years concludes that synthetic and other unnatural nutrients are mostly ineffective in preventing disease. Should this product utilize a natural Vitamin D source rather than a synthetic alternative, it would achieve an exemplary rating of 100.
