Calcium Acetate

Calcium acetate, a white, crystalline salt or granules with a faint vinegar-like odor, is produced by reacting acetic acid with calcium hydroxide. Its hygroscopic and has a slightly chalky texture. Calcium acetate, a phosphate binder specifically formulated for CKD patients, is a calcium salt of acetic acid, soluble in water and slightly soluble in ethanol. It exists in both anhydrous and monohydrate forms, with the monohydrate being the most common. Calcium acetates hygroscopic nature and strong metal chelating properties make it a valuable sequestrant in various applications. Our calcium acetate, a safe and effective food additive, finds uses in acidity regulation, flavor enhancement, and more. As a leading manufacturer since 1962, we adhere to stringent CGMP and ISO standards, ensuring our Calcium Acetate meets the highest quality benchmarks.

FAQs of Calcium Acetate:

Q. What is Calcium Acetate used for?

A. Patients with chronic kidney disease are often given Calcium Acetate to regulate high levels of phosphate. It connects to phosphate in food in the digestive area and stops it from going into your blood which supports a healthy balance of minerals.

Q. Is Calcium Acetate safe to consume?

A. Yes, following the doctors directions, Calcium Acetate should be safe to use. But overconsumption can result in nausea, difficulty digesting foods or an increase in blood calcium amounts. Never take more medicine than the doctor has recommended to avoid any problems.

Q. How should Calcium Acetate be stored?

A. Put Calcium Acetate in a spot that is free from humidity and sunlight. Tightly cover the container while it is not in use, so children cannot access it. When herbal medicines are stored appropriately, they work as they should and do not get contaminated.

Q. Can Calcium Acetate interact with other medications?

A. Yes, it is possible that Calcium Acetate will interfere with the absorption of certain drugs such as antibiotics and thyroid supplements. Let your doctor know about all your medications to avoid problems from possible interactions.

Q. Is Calcium Acetate used in food applications?

A. Yes, Calcium Acetate can be added to food as a stabilizer, buffer or preservative. It is often used in baked good and processed foods to improve texture and keep the food on the shelf longer.
