What it is
Calcium phosphate and calcium lactate are mineral compounds that are important for bone health. They are typically produced through chemical synthesis or extracted from natural sources like bone char or milk. These compounds are then purified and processed for use in food.
Why it's used
These ingredients are often added to foods as nutrient supplements, particularly to fortify products like orange juice with calcium. They can also function as firming agents, helping to maintain the texture of fruits and vegetables during processing, and as acidity regulators.
Health notes
In the U.S., calcium phosphate and calcium lactate are generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for their intended purposes. They are common sources of dietary calcium and are essential for bone health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated these substances. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
Allergen info
Calcium lactate is derived from lactic acid, which can be produced from corn or beet sugar, and is not a major allergen. Calcium phosphate is a mineral and not a major allergen. Neither is gluten-containing.
