Description

Calcium Glycerophosphate is a vital calcium salt of glycerophosphoric acid, serving as a highly bioavailable source of both calcium and phosphorus. This compound is essential for formulating products where mineral fortification and stability are critical. It is primarily sought by manufacturers in the nutraceutical, food, and pharmaceutical industries for dietary supplements, functional foods, and oral care applications.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: Used as a key ingredient in calcium and bone health supplements due to its excellent bioavailability and compatibility.
• Functional Food & Beverage Fortification: Employed to enrich products like dairy alternatives, juices, and meal replacements with essential minerals.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Utilized in tablet and capsule formulations as a calcium source, often in prenatal vitamins and mineral supplements.
• Oral Care Products: Incorporated into toothpaste and mouthwash formulations for its remineralizing benefits to tooth enamel.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: Acts as a nutritional additive to support skeletal development and health in livestock and companion animals.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in skincare products for its potential skin-conditioning properties.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Glycerophosphate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. It is tested to meet relevant specifications for food and pharmaceutical applications, including potential compliance with FCC (Food Chemicals Codex) and pharmacopoeial standards (USP/EP) depending on the grade. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA), detailing purity, identity, and impurity profiles, is provided with every batch to ensure traceability and regulatory compliance.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at controlled room temperature. Due to its hygroscopic nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent moisture absorption, which can affect product quality and flow properties.
