Calcium Citrate Malate (CCM)

Calcium citrate malate (CCM) is a complex calcium salt formed from calcium with citric acid and malic acid in a defined ratio, supplied by Nustras as a powder, a micronised grade and direct-compression and direct-granulation granular grades. It is a well-established source of the mineral calcium, valued for its water solubility relative to other calcium salts.

CCM is formulated into calcium and multimineral supplements in tablets, capsules and powders, into nutritional premixes, and into fortified beverages, juices, dairy alternatives and powdered drink mixes where a soluble calcium source with a clean, mildly tart taste is required.

The material is a white to off-white powder or granule. CAS number 159771-97-8, molecular formula C24H34Ca6O35, molecular weight 1123.0. Calcium is assayed by complexometric titration or ICP and the citrate and malate content by HPLC; the material is standardised to specification. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium citrate malate 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 citrate malate is an accepted calcium source in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
