Description

Phytic Acid Calcium is the calcium salt of phytic acid, a naturally occurring compound found in plant seeds. This ingredient is valued for its ability to function as a mineral source and a natural chelating agent in various formulations. It serves as a key material for manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food fortification, and personal care industries seeking bioavailable calcium and stabilization properties.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a source of bioavailable calcium in capsule, tablet, and powder formulations.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed to enrich products like plant-based milk alternatives, baked goods, and nutritional bars with calcium.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Acts as an excipient or mineral supplement in certain solid dosage forms.
• Personal Care & Cosmetics: Functions as a natural chelating agent and stabilizer in creams, lotions, and oral care products.
• Animal Feed Additives: Incorporated into feed premixes to support bone health and mineral nutrition in livestock and pets.
• Technical & Industrial Applications: Utilized in research, development, and various chemical synthesis processes.
