1. What is Calcium Citrate?

Calcium citrate, molecular formula: Ca3(C6H5O7)2·4H2O, theoretical calcium content 21%, white crystals or crystalline powder, slightly soluble in water. Calcium citrate can be used in a variety of foods as a food calcium fortifier, and its absorption effect is better than that of inorganic calcium. Since the absorption of calcium citrate does not rely on gastric acid, it reduces the occurrence of adverse reactions such as indigestion and abdominal distension, so it is very suitable for the elderly and infants. In addition, calcium citrate also has an anticoagulant effect, which can prevent and treat hypertension and myocardial infarction.

We Joyful Nutritional is a manufacturer of food grade calcium citrate for calcium supplements.

2. Specification of Calcium Citrate

3.Application characteristics of conventional calcium citrate:

1. When used as a food calcium fortifier, calcium citrate has a mechanism of absorption in the form of a complex in addition to single ion absorption. Its absorption effect is better than that of inorganic calcium and is widely used in infant formula, milk and dairy products, health foods, cereal products, beverages and other application fields.

2. The citric acid in calcium citrate can promote the decomposition of fat and lactic acid, maintain the acid-base balance in the body, and eliminate fatigue. It is suitable for health care products and sports nutrition food industries.

3. The calcium absorption of calcium citrate has nothing to do with gastric acid levels and will not cause adverse gastrointestinal reactions. It is suitable for elderly health foods and infant formula foods.

4. High calcium content. The calcium content in organic calcium salts is high, with a calcium content of 21% (3 times that of calcium gluconate and 2 times that of calcium lactate)

5. Good biocompatibility, providing a suitable calcium ion concentration for the fracture healing process.

4.Health Benefits of Calcium Citrate to the Human Body

4.1 Supports Bone Health

Calcium Citrate is essential for maintaining bone density and bone strength. Consuming adequate calcium helps prevent bone-related disorders such as osteoporosis, particularly in postmenopausal women and older adults. As it is more easily absorbed, Calcium Citrate is effective in maintaining healthy bones, reducing the risk of fractures, and improving overall bone health.

4.2 Aids in Muscle Function and Nervous System

Calcium plays a significant role in muscle contraction and the proper functioning of the nervous system. Calcium Citrate helps maintain normal muscle contractions, including the heart muscles, and supports the transmission of nerve impulses. A deficiency in calcium can result in muscle cramps, irregular heartbeats, and numbness in extremities.

 4.3Prevents Calcium Deficiency

Calcium Citrate is an effective supplement to prevent hypocalcemia or calcium deficiency, which can lead to weak bones, dental issues, and even neurological problems. Individuals who are lactose intolerant, have certain medical conditions, or are on restrictive diets may not get enough calcium through diet alone, making Calcium Citrate an essential supplement for maintaining adequate calcium levels.

 4.4Enhances Cardiovascular Health

Calcium Citrate also supports cardiovascular health by regulating heartbeat and blood clotting. Adequate calcium intake helps maintain a normal heartbeat and ensures proper clotting function, which is essential for preventing excessive bleeding in case of injury.

5. Applications of Food-Grade Calcium Citrate

5.1 In Dietary Supplements

Calcium Citrate is a key ingredient in many dietary supplements targeting bone health, joint support, and calcium deficiencies. These supplements are available in various forms, including tablets, capsules, powders, and liquid formulations. Given its high bioavailability, it is particularly beneficial for older adults and individuals who may have absorption issues.

5.2 Fortification of Foods and Beverages

Calcium Citrate is often used to fortify foods and beverages such as juices, cereals, and dairy alternatives like almond or soy milk. Adding Calcium Citrate to these products provides an additional source of calcium for individuals who may not consume enough through their regular diet, such as those who are lactose intolerant or follow a vegan diet.

5.3 As a Food Additive

Calcium Citrate is used as a food additive in various processed foods to improve texture and stability. It acts as a preservative, preventing spoilage and maintaining the quality of food products. It also serves as a firming agent in canned vegetables and fruits, ensuring that they maintain their shape and structure.

5.4 In Pharmaceuticals

In the pharmaceutical industry, Calcium Citrate is used as an ingredient in antacids and other medications that address calcium deficiency or improve bone health. Its gentle nature makes it suitable for long-term use in calcium supplements and medications without causing gastrointestinal discomfort.

5.5 In Sports Nutrition Products

Calcium Citrate is a popular ingredient in sports nutrition products, where it supports muscle function, bone strength, and overall recovery. Athletes and active individuals benefit from Calcium Citrate supplements to replenish calcium lost during intense physical activities and ensure proper muscle contraction and nerve function.
