Calcium Chelate (Rice-Based)

Rice-based calcium chelate is a mineral chelate in which calcium is bound to amino acids and short peptides obtained from hydrolysed rice protein. Nustras supplies it as a powder and a direct-compression granular grade, in rice-protein and rice HVP versions, as a plant-derived source of the mineral calcium. Calcium is a major mineral and the most abundant mineral element in the human body.

It is formulated into calcium and multimineral supplements in tablets, capsules and powders, into plant-based and vegan-positioned products, into nutritional premixes and into fortified foods and beverages where a non-animal calcium source is required.

The material is a free-flowing powder or granule, standardised to specification for calcium content and chelate character. Calcium is assayed by complexometric titration or ICP and the chelate is identified by infrared spectroscopy. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies rice-based calcium chelate 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. Calcium amino-acid chelates are accepted mineral sources in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
