Calcium Beta-Hydroxybutyrate

Calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate (calcium BHB) is the calcium salt of beta-hydroxybutyric acid the principal ketone body, supplied by Nustras as a white powder for the sports-nutrition and supplement sector. As a mineral salt it provides beta-hydroxybutyrate together with calcium, and it is one of the three BHB mineral salts (calcium, sodium, magnesium) commonly used in exogenous-ketone products.

It is formulated into ketone and ketogenic-category supplements in powder, capsule and tablet form, into sports-nutrition and pre-workout blends, into powdered drink mixes and ready-to-mix beverages, and into functional-food products designed for low-carbohydrate diets.

The material is a white powder. Molecular formula C8H14CaO6, molecular weight 246.27. Assay, calcium content, loss on drying, pH of solution and particle size are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by infrared spectrum and the compendial test for calcium, beta-hydroxybutyrate content by HPLC or titration, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium beta-hydroxybutyrate in bulk commercial quantities, in food-grade bags and fibre drums, to manufacturers and formulators internationally, with a certificate of analysis, specification sheet and country-of-origin documentation on every lot. The regulatory status of beta-hydroxybutyrate salts differs by market; buyers confirm the permitted use, level and claim for their application.
