L-Calcium lactate

Synonyms: Calcium L-lactate, L-Lactic acid calcium salt, Calcium (S)-lactate, (S)-Calcium lactate, Calcium L-(+)-lactate

L-Calcium lactate is the calcium salt of L-(+)-lactic acid, a naturally occurring enantiomer produced by microbial fermentation of carbohydrates. Unlike the racemic mixture, this L-form is the physiological isomer found in human metabolism and is preferred for pharmaceutical and clinical applications due to its superior bioavailability and safety profile. It is commercially available as a white, odorless crystalline powder with high water solubility and a neutral taste.

As a well-established calcium supplement and food fortifier, L-calcium lactate serves multiple industries: it is used in pharmaceutical tablets and effervescent formulations for calcium supplementation, in food and beverage products as a calcium source and firming agent, and in personal care as a mild buffering agent. Its high solubility and bland taste make it particularly suitable for liquid dosage forms and functional beverages.

Funktion
