¿What are the benefits?
With our Calcium Deco citrate, designed for tabletting or direct compression tablets, the granulation, drying, grinding and sifting processes are removed, offering advantages such as:

 

High Bioavailability
The bioavailability of calcium refers to the provision of elemental calcium obtained from the different calcium salts, i.e. the amount of calcium that is actually used by the body. According to information provided by WHO (World Health Organization), the bioavailability of calcium citrate is 51 mg (milligrams of elemental calcium per gram of calcium citrate ingested), while that of calcium carbonate is 12 mg and that of calcium phosphate is 20 mg. In practical terms, when comparing calcium citrate with calcium carbonate, four times less calcium citrate than calcium carbonate is needed to obtain the same amount of elemental calcium. With regard to calcium phosphate, two times less calcium citrate is needed.

Purity: free of compactors, smaller tablets
Our calcium citrate is obtained by chemical reaction from high purity raw materials, which guarantees a resulting purity between 99% and 100%, in accordance with the pharmaceutical degree. In addition to the above, when using our Calcium Deco citrate as a raw material in the tablet manufacturing process, no binding or compacting are required to make the tablet, as a result, the final product obtained is of better quality and of less size, making its consumption easier.

Production: Increased capacity / Lower costs
The process of granulation, drying, grinding and sifting are eliminated with our Calcium Deco citrate for direct tablet.
