Calcium Ascorbate | 5743-28-2

Description :

Overview of Calcium Ascorbate

Calcium Ascorbate is a pharmaceutical-grade sodium salt from ascorbic acid, created to offer an acid-free and buffered supply for vitamin C. By combining calcium with ascorbate, this compound provides better stability and tolerance to digestion compared with acidic vitamin C forms.

In the pharmaceutical industry, Calcium Ascorbate is valued because of its low acidity, dual mineral-vitamin function, and its suitability for long-term supplements. It is manufactured under controlled conditions in order to meet quality, purit,y and regulatory requirements.

As a pharma chemical, Calcium Ascorbate is widely used in vitamin preparations, nutritional formulations, and combination products requiring gentle antioxidant support.

Applications of Calcium Ascorbate

Pharmaceutical & Nutritional Formulations

Calcium Ascorbate is used in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations where vitamin C supplementation with improved gastric tolerance is required. Its buffered nature allows consistent delivery without excessive acidity, making it suitable for extended-use formulations.

In vitamin-based products, it is commonly evaluated alongside Ascorbic Acid during formulation selection.

Pharmaceutical Chemistry & Functional Characteristics

From a chemistry standpoint for pharmaceuticals, Calcium Ascorbate consists of ascorbate ions that are stabilized by calcium, leading to less acidity and enhanced formulation compatibility. This structure ensures stability of dosage forms made of solid-like capsules, tablets, as well as powders.

It is frequently used in formulations requiring balanced mineral and antioxidant input.

Industrial & Regulated Manufacturing Use

Calcium Ascorbate is produced as a pure pharmaceutical raw material that is controlled in calcium and ascorbate levels. The product is effective with multivitamin mixes as well as mineral mixtures and is stable under the standard conditions of pharmaceutical processing.

In formulation development, it may be combined or compared with compounds such as Sodium Ascorbate and Calcium Gluconate based on product requirements.

Safety & Handling Guidelines

• Keep it in a cool, clean, controlled area
• Guard against moisture and excessive heat.
• Make sure containers are tightly sealed and clearly labeled
• Beware of inhaling dust while handling
• Use appropriate personal protective equipment
• Handle under controlled pharmaceutical manufacturing conditions
• Dispose of waste according to regulatory guidelines
