Description

Calcium Gluceptate, Hemiheptahydrate is a high-purity calcium salt of gluceptic acid, primarily utilized as a source of bioavailable calcium. This compound is valued for its stability and solubility profile, making it a critical ingredient in formulations requiring precise mineral fortification. It is essential for manufacturers in the pharmaceutical and nutraceutical industries developing injectable solutions, dietary supplements, and specialized food products.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Injectables: Used as a calcium source in intravenous (IV) solutions and other sterile injectable formulations for calcium replenishment therapy.
• Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into capsule, tablet, and liquid supplement formulations for nutritional calcium fortification.
• Clinical Nutrition: A key component in enteral and parenteral nutrition products designed for patients with specific dietary deficiencies.
• Food Fortification: Employed in the enrichment of beverages, dairy alternatives, and functional food products to enhance their calcium content.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent or standard in laboratory research involving calcium metabolism and related biochemical studies.
• Veterinary Medicine: Used in calcium supplements and therapeutic formulations for livestock and companion animals.

Quality Control

Our Calcium Gluceptate, Hemiheptahydrate is manufactured under strict quality management systems. Each batch is tested to ensure it meets stringent specifications for identity, purity, and potency, suitable for pharmaceutical and food-grade applications. Certificates of Analysis (COA) documenting compliance with relevant standards are available upon request.

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). Due to its hygroscopic (moisture-sensitive) nature, the container must be kept tightly sealed after opening to prevent absorption of atmospheric moisture.
