Nano calcium carbonate is also called ultrafine calcium carbonate. Nano calcium carbonate means that the particle size of calcium carbonate is close to the nanometer level. The particle size can be as small as 2000-4000 mesh size.
It is manufactured through advanced laser technology and a fine and accurate grinding method. It is more precise and precise than ordinary grinding methods. The particles of nano-calcium are very fine. Scientific tests have confirmed that nanotechnology can break up calcium molecules into very fine molecules. It is quickly absorbed into the blood by the body and stored in the bones more effectively, effectively replenishing lost calcium and improving bone health, improving bone problems.

• Nanoparticle Size: Calcium carbonate in nanoparticle form typically has a particle size below 100 nanometers (nm), although the exact size can vary depending on the manufacturing process. This reduction in particle size gives the material different physical and chemical properties compared to its larger counterparts.
• Increased Surface Area: With the smaller particle size, the surface area of nanoparticle calcium carbonate is significantly increased. This leads to greater reactivity, making it more efficient in its applications, particularly in food fortification and as an additive.
• Enhanced Solubility: While calcium carbonate is generally insoluble in water, nanoparticles tend to exhibit improved solubility characteristics. This is particularly important for applications in food and beverages, where the material needs to dissolve or disperse easily.
• Increased Bioavailability: Nanoparticle-sized calcium carbonate is more readily absorbed by the body, making it a more efficient source of calcium for dietary supplements. The increased surface area and small particle size enable the material to dissolve more easily in the acidic environment of the stomach, promoting faster absorption.
• Fortification of Foods and Beverages: Nanoparticle calcium carbonate is commonly used to fortify food products with calcium, an essential nutrient for bone health. The enhanced bioavailability and neutral sensory properties make it ideal for adding to dairy products, juices, cereals, and nutritional supplements.
• Antacid Applications: Calcium carbonate is widely used as an antacid in pharmaceutical products. In nanoparticle form, its efficacy may be enhanced due to better solubility and faster reaction with stomach acid.
• Thickening and Stabilizing Agent: Calcium carbonate is sometimes used as a thickening agent in food products. In nanoparticle form, its increased surface area improves its effectiveness in this role.
• Anti-Caking Agent: In powdered food products, calcium carbonate nanoparticles can act as an anti-caking agent, preventing the formation of lumps and ensuring smooth flow.
