What it is

Dicalcium phosphate anhydrous is a mineral compound that is a form of calcium phosphate. It is produced by reacting calcium carbonate with phosphoric acid. The resulting product is then dried to remove water.

Why it's used

Health notes

In the US, dicalcium phosphate anhydrous is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use as a nutrient supplement and for other purposes. It is a source of essential minerals. The Joint FAO/WHO Expert Committee on Food Additives (JECFA) and the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA) have evaluated dicalcium phosphate and have not set a numeric acceptable daily intake (ADI), indicating it is considered safe at typical consumption levels. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects at levels typically consumed.
