Description

Calcium Gluconate is an essential organic calcium salt widely recognized for its superior bioavailability and safety profile. This compound serves as a critical source of bioavailable calcium, making it indispensable for addressing calcium deficiencies in various industrial and pharmaceutical formulations. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, food & beverage, and personal care industries seeking a highly soluble and well-tolerated calcium fortifier.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a calcium supplement in tablets, capsules, and injectable solutions for the treatment of hypocalcemia and as an electrolyte replenisher.
• Nutraceutical & Dietary Supplements: A primary calcium source in vitamin-mineral complexes, effervescent tablets, and liquid supplements due to its excellent absorption.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed to enrich products like dairy alternatives, baked goods, fruit juices, and sports drinks with calcium.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Acts as a stabilizer and skin conditioning agent in creams, lotions, and oral care products.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into feed premixes and veterinary pharmaceuticals to support bone health and metabolic functions in livestock and pets.
• Industrial Applications: Utilized in certain chemical processes and as a setting retarder in concrete mixtures.

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 product is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
