Description

Calcium Citrate Malate is a highly bioavailable, water-soluble calcium salt derived from citric and malic acids. This compound is specifically engineered to provide superior calcium absorption compared to other calcium sources, making it a critical ingredient for addressing calcium deficiency. It is an essential raw material for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, functional food, and beverage industries seeking to fortify their products with a well-tolerated and effective mineral.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Primary ingredient in calcium tablets, capsules, and soft chews for bone health support.
• Functional Food Fortification: Used to enrich juices, dairy alternatives, cereal bars, and baked goods without affecting taste or texture.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in formulations for osteoporosis prevention and treatment, requiring high bioavailability.
• Sports Nutrition Products: Added to protein powders and recovery drinks to support muscle function and bone density in athletes.
• Infant Formula & Clinical Nutrition: Provides a safe and absorbable calcium source for sensitive populations and medical food products.
• Clear Beverage Systems: Ideal for fortifying still and sparkling waters or clear juice drinks due to its excellent solubility and clarity.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed in a low-humidity environment to prevent caking and maintain stability.
