Calcium Gluconate Monohydrate

Calcium gluconate monohydrate is the calcium salt of D-gluconic acid crystallised with one molecule of water, supplied by Nustras as a white crystalline powder and used as a neutral-tasting organic calcium source for supplements, food fortification and pharmaceutical preparations.

It is formulated into calcium and multimineral supplements in tablet, capsule, effervescent and powder form, into fortified beverages, dairy products, infant and medical nutrition, pharmaceutical oral preparations, mineral premixes and animal feed; it is also used as a firming agent and sequestrant in foods.

The material is a white, odourless crystalline or granular powder, sparingly soluble in cold water (CAS 66905-23-5; molecular formula C12H24CaO15, molecular weight 448.39). Assay, loss on drying, pH, chloride and sulfate are standardised to specification; identity is confirmed by the compendial tests for calcium and gluconate, assay by complexometric EDTA titration, and heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium gluconate monohydrate 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 gluconate is an accepted food additive and supplement mineral source in major markets; buyers confirm the elemental-calcium contribution and permitted level for their application.
