Description

D-Saccharic Acid Calcium Salt is the calcium salt derivative of D-saccharic acid, a sugar acid derived from glucose. This compound serves as a stable and bioavailable source of calcium and the saccharate ion, making it valuable in applications requiring controlled mineral delivery. It is primarily utilized by manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and food ingredient sectors.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Excipient & Mineral Supplement: Used as a calcium source in tablet and capsule formulations, often for its potential role in bone health supplements.
• Nutraceutical Ingredient: Incorporated into dietary supplements and functional foods designed to support calcium intake and metabolic health.
• Food Fortification Agent: Employed to enrich food products like beverages, cereals, and dairy alternatives with bioavailable calcium.
• Biochemical Research: Serves as a reagent or standard in metabolic studies and enzymatic research related to carbohydrate metabolism.
• Chelating Agent Precursor: The saccharate moiety can act as a mild chelator, finding use in certain specialty chemical formulations.
