Vitamin And Mineral Blend Calcium Phosphate

Calcium phosphate is a compound that includes calcium, phosphorus, and oxygen. It occurs naturally in bones and teeth. In food, it can be produced synthetically or derived from animal bones or mineral sources.

Manufacturers add calcium phosphate to foods as a source of calcium and phosphorus, as an anti-caking agent to prevent powders from clumping, and as a leavening agent in baked goods. It is commonly found in dairy products, baked goods, cereals, and dietary supplements.

In the U.S., calcium phosphate is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) by the FDA for use in food. It is an essential mineral for bone health. International bodies like JECFA and EFSA have evaluated calcium phosphate and established guidelines for its use. Evidence does not suggest adverse health effects from typical dietary intake.
