Product Overview
Calcium Glycerophosphate Powder is a finely textured, white crystalline compound composed of calcium, phosphorus, and glycerol. It serves as a highly bioavailable source of both calcium and phosphorus, essential for bone health, cellular function, and metabolic processes . Recognized by the U.S. FDA as Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS), it is widely utilized in food, dietary supplements, and oral care products .
Key Benefits
- Enhanced Absorption: Unlike conventional calcium supplements, calcium glycerophosphate leverages its glycerophosphate anion to significantly improve calcium absorption in the gastrointestinal tract, addressing common issues of poor bioavailability .
- Dual Mineral Support: Provides both calcium and phosphorus, critical for maintaining bone density, teeth mineralization, and cellular energy production .
- Dental Health: Reduces tooth demineralization by buffering plaque acidity and elevating calcium/phosphate levels in saliva, effectively preventing cavities and strengthening enamel .
- Gastrointestinal Comfort: Neutralizes excess stomach acid, alleviating heartburn and symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) .
- Hydration & Electrolyte Balance: Supports muscle cell hydration, making it ideal for athletes and active individuals .
Applications
- Food & Beverage: Added to gelatins, puddings, and acidic foods (e.g., coffee, tomato sauce) to neutralize acidity and enhance nutritional value .
- Dietary Supplements: Standalone or combined with magnesium for improved mineral uptake, targeting bone health and metabolic support .
- Oral Care: Key ingredient in toothpaste and mouthwash formulations to combat dental erosion and promote enamel remineralization .
- Pharmaceuticals: Used in formulations addressing calcium deficiency and gastrointestinal disorders .
Safety & Quality Assurance
- Regulatory Compliance: Meets stringent standards of USP, European Pharmacopoeia (EP), and FCC, ensuring pharmaceutical-grade purity (≥99%) .
- Safety Profile: FDA-approved for daily use, with no reported safety hazards under recommended dosages . However, excessive intake may lead to hypercalcemia or kidney stones; consult a healthcare provider before supplementation .
Recommended Usage
- Dosage: Typical daily intake ranges from 500 mg (for general supplementation) to 1,000 mg, depending on application .
- Form: Available as a fine, slightly hygroscopic powder, easily incorporated into tablets, powders, or functional foods .
