Tri-Calcium Citrate Tetrahydrate 99+%, USP/FCC/E333(iii)

What is Calcium Citrate?

Calcium citrate, the calcium salt of citric acid, is a white, odorless, tasteless, crystalline solid.

Calcium citrate contains approximately 21% calcium, based on the molar mass of the tetrahydrate C12H10Ca3O14 · 4 H2O. Water solubility increases with decreasing temperature (inverse solubility) and decreasing pH value. Due to the higher solubility compared to inorganic calcium salts such as calcium carbonate or calcium phosphate, the bioavailability of the calcium in calcium citrate is higher.

What is Calcium Citrate used for?

In addition to the long-known positive influence of calcium on bone density, recent studies show that adequate calcium intake also reduces the risk of overweight and obesity. For these reasons, calcium citrate is added to foods for calcium enrichment and used for dietary supplements (functional foods). But it is also used as an acidity regulator and stabilizer and in medicines, feed and dental care products. It is approved in the EU as a food additive with the number E 333.
