Natural Flavor ++vitamins And Minerals: Calcium Phosphate

Calcium phosphate is a compound that can be derived from either animal bones or mineral sources. It is a source of both calcium and phosphorus, which are essential minerals for the body. It is commonly produced by reacting calcium sources with phosphoric acid.

Calcium phosphate is added to foods as a nutrient to fortify them with calcium and phosphorus. It also functions as an anti-caking agent, helping to keep powdered products free-flowing. It is often found in baked goods, cereals, and nutritional supplements.

In the US, calcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA when used for its intended purpose. It is a source of essential minerals, and adequate intake is important for bone health. JECFA and EFSA have evaluated calcium phosphate and established acceptable daily intakes. High intake of phosphorus from supplements or fortified foods, especially in individuals with kidney issues, can be a concern, but typical dietary intake is considered safe.
