Calcium Gluconate, molecular formula C12H22CaO14·H2O, theoretical calcium content 8.9%, white crystalline granules or powder, odorless, stable in the air, slow dissolution at room temperature, solubility of about 2g/100mL.
Calcium gluconate has a good taste, high absorption and utilization rate, high degree of ionization, can reduce the consumption of gastric acid during digestion, less gastrointestinal irritation, very suitable for infants, the elderly and other groups with poor gastrointestinal function.
When used in oral liquid, calcium gluconate is generally added to calcium lactate in a certain proportion to increase the calcium content. In medicine, calcium gluconate can also improve cell membrane permeability, control the onset of hand and foot cramps, and can also be used to relieve itching of urticaria, acute eczema, dermatitis, etc. In the beverage industry, due to its high solubility, calcium gluconate can be used to fortify children's food, health food and sports drinks, and can also be formulated into fruity, high-calcium concentrates for the manufacture of yogurt.
Joyful Nutritional and Calcium Gluconate
Our company is committed to providing customers with customized calcium gluconate solutions and professional services through continuous breakthroughs in technological innovation.
During the production process, calcium gluconate is leaded by ultra-low arsenic and lead technology, and heavy metal lead is controlled below 0.05ppm. The product has high stability and guaranteed quality, which is suitable for health food, infant formula and special diet industries.
We use unique sterilization technology to strictly control the microbial indicators of calcium gluconate in standardized production lines. The microbial control is lower and the application is healthier, which is suitable for the health food industry.
The calcium gluconate processed by our microcrystalline granulation technology has more uniform particles and controllable bulk density. It is suitable for tablets, has strong compressibility, and is convenient and fast. The microcapsule steady-state technology improves the flowability of calcium gluconate, has stronger stability, and better premixing effect.

1. Improved Flowability:
Calcium gluconate granules produced by microcrystalline granulation technology exhibit excellent flowability compared to traditional powder forms. This enhanced flowability ensures easy handling during manufacturing processes such as tableting, encapsulation, and mixing in formulations.
2. Uniform Particle Size Distribution:
Microcrystalline granulation produces granules with a consistent particle size, resulting in a more homogeneous product. This uniformity improves dosing accuracy in pharmaceutical and food applications, ensuring consistent calcium content in each unit.
3. Increased Compressibility:
The microcrystalline structure enhances the compressibility of the granules, making them more suitable for direct compression during tablet production. This leads to the production of high-quality, mechanically stable tablets without the need for additional binders.
4. Enhanced Solubility and Dissolution:
Microcrystalline granulation technology enhances the solubility of calcium gluconate, ensuring faster dissolution in liquids. This characteristic is crucial for oral solutions, effervescent tablets, and other fast-acting formulations where rapid calcium release is desired.
5. Reduced Dusting:
Due to the granulation process, dust generation is minimized compared to fine powder forms of calcium gluconate. This reduction in dusting improves workplace safety and cleanliness during production and packaging.
6. Better Stability:
Granules produced using microcrystalline granulation technology are more resistant to moisture and environmental factors, leading to improved shelf stability. This ensures the product remains effective and free-flowing over extended storage periods.
7. Higher Bioavailability:
The granulation process enhances the bioavailability of calcium gluconate, allowing for better absorption in the body. This makes it more effective as a calcium supplement in various dietary and pharmaceutical formulations.
