Description

Calcium Glycerophosphate Hydrate is an organically-bound calcium salt of glycerophosphoric acid, offering superior bioavailability compared to many inorganic calcium sources. This compound is valued for its dual role as a highly absorbable calcium supplement and a source of bioavailable phosphorus. It is primarily utilized in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries for formulating dietary supplements, as well as in food fortification to enhance the nutritional profile of various products. Its application extends to specialized areas where a soluble, non-irritating form of calcium is required.

Application

• Dietary Supplements & Nutraceuticals: A key active ingredient in calcium and bone health formulations, including tablets, capsules, and liquid supplements.
• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used to fortify dairy products, beverages, cereals, and functional foods with bioavailable calcium and phosphorus.
• Pharmaceutical Preparations: Employed in the manufacture of medicinal products for calcium deficiency treatment and electrolyte balance solutions.
• Oral Care Products: Incorporated into toothpaste and mouthwash formulations for its remineralizing effects on tooth enamel.
• Animal Feed & Pet Nutrition: Serves as a nutritional additive in premixes to support skeletal development and metabolic functions in livestock and pets.
• Cosmetic & Personal Care: Used in skincare products for its skin-conditioning properties.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Glycerophosphate Hydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. We offer grades suitable for pharmaceutical (USP/EP), food (FCC), and technical applications. Each batch undergoes rigorous analytical testing to ensure compliance with specified purity, identity, and safety parameters. A comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA) detailing assay, heavy metals, microbial limits, and other critical specifications is provided with every shipment.

Storage

Preserve in a tightly closed container, protected from light. Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area at a controlled room temperature (15-25°C). This material is hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive); the container must be kept tightly sealed after each use to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture, which can lead to caking or degradation.
