¿What are the benefits?
Our Calcium Citrate Micronized USP fits the milk fortification process used by the client: either the wet process, starting from liquid milk, as well as the dry process, with powdered milk, offering adventages such us:
High Bioavailability
Calcium bioavailability refers to the amount of elemental calcium obtained from different calcium salts, that is, the amount of calcium that is actually used by the body. According to WHO (World Health Organization), calcium citrate bioavailability is 51 mg (milligrams of elemental calcium per each gram of calcium citrate ingested), while calcium carbonate is 12 mg and calcium phosphate is 20 mg. In practical terms, when comparing calcium citrate with calcium carbonate, four times less calcium citrate is needed than calcium carbonate to obtain the same elemental calcium intake. Regarding calcium phosphate, two times less amount of calcium citrate is needed.
Higher purity
Our calcium citrate is obtained by chemical reaction from high purity raw materials, which guarantees the resulting purity between 99 and 100%, according to pharmaceutical or food grade.
Great Relational Performance
Our product is the result of a long learning process, where the Know How allows us to capitalize on the knowledge to make simple changes to our process, adjusting it to our customer´s particular specifications, which means a high added value raw material with fair and sustainable price.
Today functional foods that provide nutrients and health benefits are very important to people.
