| Calcium Gluconate |
 |
Calcium Gluconate, monohydrate, is a white crystalline powder that is derived from reacting high purity liquid corn sugar with a calcium source.
It contains approximately nine percent calcium in a form that is readily absorbed by the human body.
As one of the most readily assimilated forms of calcium in human metabolism, calcium gluconate is used widely in both human and veterinary pharmaceuticals to treat calcium deficiency.
Since research has confirmed that calcium absorbtion increases bone density and prevents, or postpones, the onset of osteoporosis, calcium fortification has become quite popular in foods and beverages.
The importance of calcium is also growing in today's "nutraceutical"market where nutritional supplements are being touted for their health benefits.
Many vitamins, sports drinks and powdered diet beverage mixes have added calcium. |
