Description

Calcium Lactate (1 G) is a high-purity, fine white powder that serves as a vital source of bioavailable calcium. This compound is essential for formulators requiring a soluble and well-tolerated mineral fortifier. It is a key ingredient for manufacturers in the food, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries seeking to enhance the nutritional profile of their products.

Application

• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a calcium supplement in baked goods, dairy alternatives, fruit juices, and nutritional bars to meet daily value requirements.
• Pharmaceutical Formulations: Employed in tablet and capsule manufacturing as a calcium source for osteoporosis prevention and treatment.
• Dietary Supplements: A primary ingredient in multivitamin/mineral complexes, effervescent tablets, and chewable supplements.
• Nutraceuticals & Functional Foods: Incorporated into specialized health products aimed at bone and dental health support.
• Animal Feed Additive: Used in premixes to ensure proper skeletal development and eggshell quality in livestock and poultry.
• Acidulant & Leavening Agent: Functions in certain baking powder blends and as a pH regulator in processed foods.
