As part of our PHARMAGNESIA® range, LEHVOSS Nutrition offer a high quality, pure Calcium Carbonate with binder, maltodextrin, gum acacia or starch.
The material is available in different bulk weights and particle sizes (from 2.5 to 250 µm) and has very good palatability. It is dispersible, easily compressible, free flowing, low in HM (heavy metals) and safely sourced with full pharma documentation. Suitable for vegetarians & vegans and Kosher & Halal certified, the material is in a granular form, which makes it suitable for tabletting. It is widely used in antacid formulas to help relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and an upset stomach.
Calcium is one of the most important and essential minerals for the human body which helps form and maintain healthy teeth and bones. It also helps the body with blood clotting, keeping a normal heartbeat, transmission of signals in nerve cells, and muscle contraction. Calcium benefits from various EFSA claims, but its use for preventing osteoporosis is probably the most well-known role in food supplements.
