Calcium comparison: lab tests, heavy metals and price (UK + EU)

2 products, 2 lab verified: a current independent lab report we have checked. Others have an outdated report, reporting limits too high to be useful, or no report. Figures come only from published reports and seller pages; “—” means we have no data, never an estimate.
