Description

Calcium Succinate, Monohydrate is a white, crystalline organic salt of succinic acid. This compound serves as a valuable source of both bioavailable calcium and succinate, a key intermediate in the citric acid cycle. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical preparations where a combined mineral and metabolic support is required.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a source of bioavailable calcium and succinate for bone health and cellular energy metabolism support.
• Pharmaceutical Intermediates: Acts as a key starting material or excipient in the synthesis of various active pharmaceutical ingredients (APIs).
• Food Fortification: Employed as a mineral fortifier and acidity regulator in functional food and beverage products.
• Animal Nutrition: Incorporated into feed premixes to provide essential calcium and support metabolic functions in livestock and poultry.
• Biochemical Research: Used as a defined component in cell culture media and microbiological growth studies.
• Industrial Applications: Functions as a buffering agent and sequestrant in certain chemical processes and formulations.
