Calcium Carbonate Applications

PureCal Calcium Carbonate

Fortification of your food, beverage, and pharmaceutical applications.

With almost every cell in our body using calcium in some way it's one of the most important minerals your body can take.  It helps develop your strong bones and teeth, helps blood vessels and muscles work properly, helps control other important nutrients such as magnesium, and even helps nerves carry messages throughout your body.

As our bodies do not naturally generate calcium, it is crucial to obtain it daily through diverse means as a consumer.  You can naturally get calcium from foods such as dairy foods and green leafy vegetables or even fish where you eat the bones.

Although consuming certain foods can be an excellent approach to obtain calcium, it can still be challenging to fulfill the recommended daily intake. To address this issue, taking calcium supplements is an option, even from products that don't have calcium naturally. These supplements can come in various forms, including baked goods, dietary supplements, dry powder mixes, pet food, and even non-dairy beverages like Oat Milk.

For manufactures, Calcium Carbonate, is the ideal source for calcium.  It is the least expensive form of calcium and enjoys the highest percentage of elemental Calcium by weight at 40%.   Not only can it be used as calcium supplementation it is commonly used as an anti-caking agent, pH buffering, and even as a white food coloring.

Whether you are looking for a drop-in replacement to your current source or looking to add Calcium to your organic application our PureCal line could be the perfect fit.  Reach out to our sales team anytime to learn more.
