Product Introduction
Calcium aspartate is a salt formed from calcium and aspartic acid [1]. It is often utilized as a mineral supplement due to its potential bioavailability [2]. Calcium is a vital mineral important for bone health, nerve transmission, and muscle function [3]. Aspartic acid, an amino acid, may aid in the absorption of calcium [4]. Therefore, calcium aspartate serves as a means to deliver calcium in a form that the body can efficiently use [5].
Production Process
The production of calcium aspartate typically involves reacting aspartic acid with a calcium source, such as calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide [6]. The reaction is usually carried out in an aqueous solution under controlled conditions [7]. Following the reaction, the calcium aspartate product is purified through crystallization or other separation techniques [8]. The purified crystals are then dried and milled to obtain the final product with the desired particle size [9]. Quality control measures are implemented throughout the production process to ensure the purity and consistency of the final calcium aspartate [10].
Product Functions and Effects
Calcium aspartate functions primarily as a calcium supplement [11]. Calcium is essential for maintaining bone density and preventing osteoporosis [12]. It also plays a role in muscle contraction, nerve signaling, and blood clotting [13]. Adequate calcium intake is important for overall health, especially for growing children, pregnant women, and older adults [14]. Calcium aspartate, provides a source of calcium that can be readily absorbed by the body [15].
Product Application Scenarios
Calcium aspartate finds application in various scenarios where calcium supplementation is needed [16]. It is commonly used in dietary supplements and fortified foods to increase calcium intake [17]. Pharmaceutical companies use calcium aspartate in the formulation of calcium supplements [18]. The food and beverage industry may incorporate it into functional foods and beverages [19]. Calcium aspartate may be found in products targeted towards bone health, such as supplements for preventing osteoporosis [20].
Packaging and Storage
Calcium aspartate is typically packaged in multi-layer kraft paper bags or fiber drums with inner polyethylene liners to protect it from moisture and contamination [21]. Packaging sizes vary depending on the manufacturer and customer requirements [22]. It is recommended to store calcium aspartate in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and heat [23]. Proper storage conditions help maintain the stability and quality of the product over its shelf life of 24 months [24].
