Product Introduction:
Calcium Glucoheptonate is a calcium salt of glucoheptonic acid, a sugar acid derived from glucose. It typically appears as a white crystalline powder. It is known for its high bioavailability of calcium and good water solubility compared to some other calcium salts.
This makes it an effective and preferred source for calcium supplementation, particularly in medical and nutritional applications where efficient calcium delivery is crucial.
Main Uses:
-
Pharmaceuticals (Calcium Supplementation): Calcium Glucoheptonate is widely used in pharmaceutical preparations as a source of calcium, especially for intravenous (IV) administration. It is used to treat or prevent hypocalcemia (low blood calcium levels) in various medical conditions, including tetany, osteoporosis, and during pregnancy. Its high solubility and rapid absorption make it suitable for clinical use.
-
Nutritional Supplements: It is incorporated into oral calcium supplements, often in combination with vitamins (e.g., Vitamin D), to support bone health, nerve function, and muscle contraction. Its good palatability and absorption are advantageous for dietary supplements.
-
Veterinary Medicine: Similar to human applications, Calcium Glucoheptonate is used in veterinary medicine to treat or prevent calcium deficiencies in animals, such as milk fever in dairy cows.
-
Food Additives: In some food applications, it can act as a stabilizer, thickener, or sequestering agent, particularly in foods where calcium fortification is desired without affecting taste or texture adversely.
-
Bioresearch: It can be used in laboratory settings as a calcium source in specific media or buffers for cell culture or biochemical experiments.
