Description

Calcium Citrate Malate Pentahydrate is a highly bioavailable and soluble calcium salt complex, formed from citric acid, malic acid, and calcium. This compound is specifically engineered to enhance calcium absorption in the body, making it a superior nutritional ingredient. It is primarily utilized in the formulation of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pharmaceutical products where efficient mineral delivery is critical. Its favorable organoleptic properties also make it suitable for fortifying beverages and other food systems without compromising taste.

Application

• Dietary Supplements: A key active ingredient in calcium tablets, capsules, and softgels for bone health support.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to enrich juices, dairy alternatives, sports drinks, and meal replacement shakes with bioavailable calcium.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in solid and liquid dosage forms for the prevention and treatment of calcium deficiency and osteoporosis.
• Infant & Clinical Nutrition: An essential mineral source in specialized infant formulas and medical nutrition products for sensitive populations.
• Food Additive: Acts as a firming agent, pH regulator, and nutrient fortificant in various processed food products.
• Anticaking Agent: Used in powdered food and supplement blends to improve flowability and prevent clumping.
