Calcium L-Arginate

Calcium L-arginate is a calcium salt of the amino acid L-arginine, in which calcium is bound to the carboxylate group of the amino acid. Nustras supplies it as a powder for use as a combined source of the mineral calcium and of L-arginine. L-arginine is a conditionally essential amino acid and a building block of proteins; calcium is a major mineral.

Calcium L-arginate is formulated into mineral and amino-acid supplements in tablets, capsules and powders, into sports-nutrition powders and ready-to-mix drinks, into nutritional premixes and into functional foods and beverages where a single ingredient delivering both calcium and arginine is convenient for the formulator.

The material is a white to off-white powder, standardised to specification for calcium and L-arginine content. Calcium is assayed by complexometric titration or ICP and L-arginine by HPLC; identity is confirmed by infrared spectroscopy. Heavy-metal and microbial limits are supplied to specification and confirmed on each lot's certificate of analysis.

Nustras supplies calcium L-arginate 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 and L-arginine are accepted supplement ingredients in major markets; buyers confirm the permitted level for their application. Contact us for grade, pricing per kilogram and lead time.
