Project Description
Product Description
Calcium gluconate is an organic calcium salt with a white crystalline or granular powder in appearance. This product is used to prevent and treat calcium deficiencies, such as osteoporosis, hand-foot tetany, bone hypoplasia, rickets, and calcium supplementation for children, pregnant and lactating women, menopausal women, and the elderly. Calcium is the largest inorganic substance in the body. It is necessary to maintain the normal function of the human nerves, muscles, skeletal system, cell membrane and capillary permeability. Calcium ion is an important activator of many enzymatic reactions and is necessary for many physiological processes, such as nerve impulse transmission, smooth muscle and skeletal muscle contraction, kidney function, respiration and blood coagulation.

Benefits
1. Calcium gluconate can reduce the permeability of capillaries, increase the compactness of capillaries, reduce exudation, and have anti-inflammatory, anti-swelling and anti-allergic effects.
2. Calcium gluconate is used for tetany caused by lowered blood calcium, etc.
3. Calcium gluconate is used for magnesium poisoning.
Application
1. Calcium gluconate is mainly used as food calcium fortifier and nutrient, buffer, curing agent, chelating agent, can be used in cereals and their products, beverages,
2. Calcium gluconate to make bean curd is made by adding calcium gluconate powder into soy milk. Soy milk will become semi-liquid and semi-solid bean curd, sometimes called hot tofu.
3. Pharmaceutical industry: Calcium gluconate can reduce capillary permeability, increase density, maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, strengthen myocardial contractility, and help bone formation.
