What it is

Calcium citrate malate is a mineral salt that combines calcium, citric acid, and malic acid. It is often produced by reacting calcium carbonate with citric and malic acids. It serves as a source of calcium in foods and beverages.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use calcium citrate malate primarily as a calcium fortifier to increase the calcium content of foods and drinks. It is commonly found in dairy products like yogurt, as well as in beverages such as water enhancers and flavored waters, where it can also contribute to tartness.

Health notes

In the U.S., calcium citrate malate is Generally Recognized As Safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as a nutrient supplement. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated calcium salts, and EFSA has also assessed citric acid and malic acid. Typical intakes from fortified foods are not associated with adverse health effects. Research suggests calcium citrate malate is well-absorbed by the body.

Allergen info

Calcium citrate malate is not derived from any of the nine major allergens recognized by the FDA. It does not contain gluten.
