NOW Calcium & Magnesium

Muscle building and daily protein support.. Ignore the confusing product name. This label actually belongs to a high-quality protein powder. You get 24 grams of complete protein per serving. That is a clinical dose for muscle recovery. It also delivers exactly 2.5 grams of leucine. This specific amount is required to trigger muscle protein synthesis. The brand fully discloses the amino acid profile. This proves they are not cutting corners with cheap fillers. The trace minerals are just naturally occurring background noise. It is a fantastic, straightforward formula.

6.0/10
GOOD

This appears to be a protein powder (24g protein, full amino acid profile) rather than a calcium/magnesium supplement (data mismatch). As a protein product: 24g protein with complete amino acid profile including 2500mg leucine at clinical dose for muscle protein synthesis. Good amino acid spectrum. But vitamin D at 0mcg and calcium at only 43mg means it fails completely as the Cal-Mag product it's labeled as. Scoring for what the data actually shows.
