Description

Calcium L-Lactate is a highly bioavailable organic calcium salt derived from L-lactic acid, offering superior absorption compared to inorganic calcium sources. This compound is valued for its neutral taste, excellent solubility, and compatibility with various formulations, making it an ideal functional mineral fortifier. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the food, nutraceutical, and pharmaceutical industries seeking a safe and effective calcium source.

Application

• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a calcium supplement in baked goods, dairy alternatives, fruit juices, sports drinks, and infant formula to enhance nutritional value.
• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key ingredient in tablets, capsules, and powdered supplements aimed at supporting bone health and preventing calcium deficiency.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) or excipient in antacid formulations and calcium therapy products.
• Animal Feed & Pet Food: Incorporated as a nutritional additive to promote skeletal development and overall health in livestock and companion animals.
• Personal Care Products: Used in oral care applications like toothpaste and mouthwash for its remineralization benefits.
