Description

Calcium Pidolate is the calcium salt of pidolic acid (pyroglutamic acid), a key organic compound. This product is valued for its role as a bioavailable source of calcium and as a versatile intermediate in organic synthesis. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for the formulation of dietary supplements and active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).

Application

• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Serves as a crucial building block in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs) and complex molecules.
• Dietary Supplements: Used as a bioavailable source of calcium in mineral supplement formulations to support bone and metabolic health.
• Nutraceuticals: Incorporated into functional food and beverage products designed for nutritional fortification.
• Cosmetic Ingredients: Acts as a skin-conditioning agent in cosmetic and personal care formulations.
• Biochemical Research: Employed as a reagent or standard in biochemical and pharmacological research studies.
• Chelating Agent: Functions as a mild chelator in specific chemical and industrial processes.
