Description

Calcium Malate is a high-purity, water-soluble calcium salt of malic acid, widely recognized for its superior bioavailability and neutral taste profile. This compound serves as a highly effective and well-tolerated source of bioavailable calcium, essential for numerous industrial and nutritional formulations. It is a critical ingredient for manufacturers in the food & beverage, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical sectors seeking a functional mineral fortifier.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: As a premium source of elemental calcium in capsules, tablets, and powdered drink mixes, supporting bone health and metabolic functions.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich products like fruit juices, dairy alternatives, baked goods, and sports nutrition products with calcium without altering flavor.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in antacid formulations and calcium-therapy medications.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: Incorporated as a mineral supplement in feed premixes to support skeletal development and overall health in livestock and pets.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Functions as a pH adjuster and skin-conditioning agent in various creams, lotions, and oral care products.
