Description

Calcium Gluconate is an essential calcium salt of gluconic acid, valued for its high bioavailability and excellent solubility. This compound serves as a critical source of bioavailable calcium, making it indispensable for applications requiring safe and effective calcium supplementation. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, food & beverage, and nutraceutical industries seeking a reliable and well-tolerated calcium source.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Used as a calcium replenisher in injectable solutions, tablets, and capsules for treating hypocalcemia and calcium deficiencies.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Acts as a nutritional additive and firming agent in dairy products, fruit juices, baked goods, and dietary supplements.
• Nutraceuticals & Dietary Supplements: A primary calcium source in multivitamin/mineral complexes, capsules, and chewable tablets due to its gentle effect on the stomach.
• Cosmetics & Personal Care: Utilized in skincare and oral care products for its skin conditioning and remineralizing properties.
• Animal Feed & Veterinary Medicine: Incorporated into feed premixes and veterinary pharmaceuticals to support bone health and metabolic functions in livestock and pets.
• Industrial Applications: Serves as a setting retarder in concrete and as a chelating agent in certain chemical processes.

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 after each use to prevent absorption of moisture from the air, which can lead to caking or degradation.
