CAS NO.: 142606-53-9
Molecular Formula: C16H14Ca3O18
Product Characteristics:
Also known as fruit acid calcium, calcium citrate malate is an organic chelate synthesized from calcium, citric acid, and malic acid in a specific ratio. As a novel calcium nutritional fortifier, its solubility is significantly higher than that of calcium citrate and calcium malate, endowing fruit acid calcium with high biological absorbability and utilization of calcium. Meanwhile, calcium citrate malate possesses important physiological functions, including preventing tooth loss in the elderly and osteoporosis patients, not interfering with the absorption of trace elements such as iron, zinc, selenium, and magnesium, not increasing the risk of kidney stone formation, lowering blood pressure, regulating blood lipids, and promoting intestinal health.
Calcium citrate malate appears as a white crystalline powder, odorless, and soluble in water. With advantages such as good solubility, high bioavailability, and pleasant flavor, it is currently the most ideal calcium nutritional fortifier globally.
