What it is

Calcium sodium caseinate is a protein derived from milk. It is made by treating casein, the main protein in milk, with calcium and sodium compounds. This process makes the protein more soluble and easier to use in food products.

Why it's used

Manufacturers use calcium sodium caseinate as a source of protein and to improve the texture and stability of foods. It helps bind ingredients together and can add a creamy mouthfeel. You can find it in protein powders, nutritional drinks, and some baked goods.

Health notes

In the U.S., calcium sodium caseinate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used as intended. It is a good source of protein, which is essential for building and repairing tissues. International bodies like JECFA have evaluated it, and it is widely used globally. No significant health controversies are associated with its typical consumption.
