Calcium lactate powder Usage and Synthesis.

Calcium lactate can be used in medicine to treat calcium deficiency and allergic diseases, and can also be used as a coagulant. It is often used as a calcium fortifier in food and is an essential calcium supplement for children, the elderly, pregnant women, etc. It is also often used as a skin hardener in fruit and vegetable food processing. In the feed industry, it is used as a feed additive to increase milk production, reduce egg shell breakage rate, and promote the growth of young animals.

1. It can be used in medicine to treat calcium deficiency, such as tetany, skeletal dysplasia, and rickets; it can also be used for hypocalcemia in patients with chronic renal failure; it can also be used as an adjuvant treatment for allergic diseases and tuberculosis; it can also be used as a coagulant.

2. Food additives, used as calcium supplements for food nutrition fortifiers, used in baby food, dairy products, bread, cakes, candies, soy products, pickles, etc. This product is easier to absorb as a calcium supplement than other products; it is used as a buffer and leavening agent for bread and cakes.

Uses of Calcium lactate.

Calcium supplement used as a nutritional fortifier, as a buffer and leavening agent for bread, pastries, etc. It can also be used in bread, pastries, noodles, market-made milk powder, tofu, bean paste, pickled products, etc. As a fortifier, it is easily absorbed with other calcium. As a medicine, it can prevent and treat calcium deficiency, such as rickets and tetany, and supplement calcium required by women during pregnancy and lactation.

Calcium lactate is a very good food calcium fortifier, and its absorption effect is better than inorganic calcium. It can be used in infant food, with a usage of 23-46g/kg; in Chemicalbook cereals and their products, it is 12-24g/kg; in drinking liquids and milk beverages, it is 3-6g/kg. It is also used as a leavening agent and buffer for bread baking powder.

What is Calcium Lactate Powder? 

Calcium Lactate is an organic compound (C₆H₁₀CaO₆) that serves as an excellent source of bioavailable calcium, the most abundant mineral in the human body. It appears as a white or off-white crystalline powder. Unlike other common calcium salts like calcium carbonate (often derived from limestone), calcium lactate is the product of lactic acid reacting with high-purity calcium carbonate. This process creates a compound that is notably gentle on the digestive system and efficiently utilized by the body.

The Core Advantage: Superior Absorption with Gentleness

The standout benefit of calcium lactate lies in its superior solubility and absorption profile. While no calcium supplement is 100% absorbed, calcium lactate's structure allows it to dissolve effectively in the digestive tract, facilitating efficient uptake even in individuals with reduced stomach acid, a common concern among older adults. Furthermore, it is renowned for its low incidence of side effects like constipation and bloating, which are frequently associated with other forms like calcium carbonate

Product Methods of Calcium lactate.

(1) Fermentation method. Calcium carbonate is used as a neutralizing agent for lactic acid fermentation. The fermentation liquid is neutralized with lime water and then subjected to secondary crystallization to directly produce calcium lactate. The fermentation raw material can be rice gelatinized saccharification liquid or rice flour (corn flour) double enzyme hydrolyzate. For details, refer to lactic acid fermentation.

(2) Neutralization method. Calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide is added to 50% of the finished lactic acid solution for neutralization reaction, and then filtered to remove insoluble impurities, and then cooled, crystallized, separated, and dried to obtain the finished product. This method is simple in process, but the cost is relatively high.

Frequently Asked Questions 

Q1: How is calcium lactate powder different from calcium citrate or carbonate?

Calcium lactate offers a superior balance of bioavailability and gentleness. Calcium carbonate is inexpensive and high in elemental calcium but requires ample stomach acid for absorption and often causes constipation. Calcium citrate is well-absorbed with less acid needed but contains less elemental calcium per dose. Calcium lactate is highly soluble, very gentle on the stomach, and provides excellent absorption, making it an ideal choice for long-term, daily use.

Q2: Is calcium lactate powder suitable for individuals on a dairy-free or vegan diet?

Yes. Commercial calcium lactate is typically synthesized from mineral sources and lactic acid (which can be plant-derived), making it suitable for dairy-free and often vegan diets. However, always verify the source with the manufacturer, as some lactic acid can be fermented from dairy sugars.

Q3: Can I use calcium lactate powder in my home cooking and baking?

Absolutely. Its neutral flavor and stability under heat make it an excellent fortification agent. It can be seamlessly blended into sauces, soups, baked goods, and homemade sports drinks to boost the calcium content of your meals without altering taste.

Q4: What is the shelf life, and how should I store it?

Properly stored in a sealed container in a cool, dry place away from moisture and direct sunlight, high-quality calcium lactate powder has a shelf life of typically 2-3 years. Avoid refrigeration, as condensation can cause clumping.
