Description

Calcium Gluconate is a vital calcium salt of gluconic acid, serving as a highly bioavailable source of calcium ions. This compound is essential for applications requiring a soluble and well-tolerated form of calcium, crucial for physiological and industrial processes. It is a key material for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and nutraceutical industries, where precise calcium fortification and supplementation are required.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a calcium replenisher in injectable solutions, tablets, and capsules for treating hypocalcemia and as an antidote for magnesium sulfate overdose.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Acts as a firming agent and calcium source in dairy products, fruit preparations, baked goods, and nutritional beverages to enhance dietary calcium intake.
• Dietary Supplements: A primary ingredient in calcium supplement tablets, capsules, and powder blends due to its excellent bioavailability and neutral taste.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Incorporated into skincare products for its skin conditioning properties and role in stabilizing formulations.
• Animal Feed & Nutrition: Serves as a calcium supplement in premixes and feed for livestock, poultry, and pets to support bone health and metabolic functions.
• Technical & Industrial Uses: Employed in certain chemical processes and as a setting retarder in concrete mixtures.
