1) Calcium supplementation effect
Bioavailability: about 32% (higher than 27% of calcium carbonate and lower than 35% of calcium citrate).
Absorption mechanism: absorbed in the small intestine through passive diffusion and active transport, relying on vitamin D to promote.
(2) Food additive function
Acidity regulator: maintains food pH stability and extends shelf life.
Leaving agent: reacts with sodium bicarbonate in baked goods to release CO2 (requires acidic environment).
Coagulant: used in tofu and cheese making (replaces traditional gypsum or brine).
(3) Other characteristics
Low hygroscopicity: more suitable for dry powder preparations than other calcium salts (such as calcium chloride).
Bland taste: no astringency, suitable for addition to oral liquid or chewable tablets.
(1) Food industry
Nutritional enhancer:
Added to cereals, beverages, and dairy products (such as high-calcium milk and juice).
Infant formula
Bakery and flour products:
Compounded with sodium bicarbonate as a leavening agent (such as biscuits and cakes).
Enhance dough extensibility and improve bread texture.
Pickled and fermented foods:
A crispiness retainer for pickled foods such as kimchi and olives.
(2) Medicines and health products
Calcium supplements:
Tablets and oral solutions (especially suitable for people with gastric acid deficiency, without relying on gastric acid for dissolution).
Compounded with vitamin D and magnesium (to promote absorption).
Clinical treatment:
Intravenous injection for acute hypocalcemia (needs to be diluted to avoid vascular irritation).
(3) Cosmetics
pH adjuster: Used in facial cleansers and lotions to maintain a mild skin environment.
Keratin softener: Softens hard skin in foot care products.
