Common questions

Is Equate Calcium healthy?

Equate Calcium scores 15/100 on Tallow — our avoid band. That number comes from what is on the label: the ingredients, how processed it is, and what it is packaged in. It is not a verdict on your diet — Tallow does not weigh calories, portion size or how often you eat it, so a high score means the ingredients are clean, not that the food is unlimited.

What is in Equate Calcium?

Equate Calcium lists 20 ingredients, starting with Calcium Carbonate, Vitamin D3, Maltodextrin, Carnauba Wax and Croscarmellose Sodium. Ingredients are listed in descending order by weight, so the first few make up most of what you are eating.

Does Equate Calcium contain seed oils?

No. Nothing in Equate Calcium’s ingredient list matches a seed oil — canola, soybean, corn, cottonseed, grapeseed, sunflower, safflower, rice bran or peanut oil, or an unspecified "vegetable oil".

How processed is Equate Calcium?

Equate Calcium has no NOVA group. Tallow works NOVA out from the ingredient list, and it does not apply to supplements or non-food products; a food whose ingredients are not all classified yet stays unknown instead of being guessed. Either way the processing axis scores it neutrally.

How does Equate Calcium compare to other vitamins?

At 15/100 Equate Calcium scores worse than most vitamins we have scored. A higher-scoring option in vitamins is NOW Foods Extra Strength Astaxanthin 10 mg at 97/100.

Is Equate Calcium organic?

Equate Calcium is not certified organic in our data.
