3. It's says calcium pantothenate at the end of the ingredients label.

:shrug:

4. That's vitamin B5

5. That wouldn't amount to much calcium.

As sakabatou said, that's vitamin B5, also called pantothenic acid, listed on that nutrition label just below calcium. That calcium is just bound to the vitamin so it's probably at most a couple milligrams, a negligible amount of calcium.

The real source of calcium is the tricalcium phosphate listed earlier in the ingredients list.

It's a pretty funny label.

6. Yes it seems absurd at first look

But then when you ask yourself why there are only 3 items (vits A, C and calcium) that show "0%" when clearly there could have been thousands and thousands of things that are absent.

So, the fact that they appear and show "0%" must actually *mean* something, which I suppose in this case means that it's a very low, but still present, amount.

Kind of disengenuous of them to claim that this is "fortified" with calcium.

7. Mix it with MILK - voila! calcium!

Assuming you'd eat it with ice cream or stirred in milk? WTF?
