Description

Calcium Lactate is a highly bioavailable calcium salt of lactic acid, serving as a critical functional ingredient and nutritional supplement. Its excellent solubility and neutral taste profile make it a preferred calcium source for fortification and technical applications. This compound is essential for manufacturers in the food & beverage, pharmaceutical, and nutraceutical industries seeking a reliable, high-purity mineral source.

Application

• Food & Beverage Fortification: Used as a calcium fortifier in baked goods, dairy alternatives, fruit juices, sports drinks, and cereal products to enhance nutritional value.
• Pharmaceutical & Nutraceuticals: Acts as an active pharmaceutical ingredient (API) in calcium supplement tablets, capsules, and effervescent powders for bone health support.
• Dietary Supplements: Incorporated into multivitamin/mineral complexes, gummies, and protein powders due to its high bioavailability and compatibility.
• Acidulant & Leavening Agent: Functions in baking powders and self-rising flour systems to provide a controlled leavening reaction.
• Animal Feed & Pet Food: Serves as a nutritional additive to support skeletal development and overall health in livestock and companion animals.
• Technical Applications: Utilized as a firming agent for fruits and vegetables and in certain chemical synthesis processes.
