What is calcium lactate?
Prepped commercially by neutralization of lactic acid, from fermentation of dextrose, molasses, starch, sugar or whey. It improves flavor and taste, used as a stabilizing agent in instant desserts and powder cream, improves the quality of bakery products, a firming agent in vegetable products, increases effectiveness of antioxidants and prevents discoloring of fruits and vegetables. The calcium lactate used by Ener-G Foods is derived by fermenting dextrose (corn sugar).
Calcium is a mineral that is found naturally in foods. Calcium is necessary for many normal functions of the body, especially bone formation and maintenance. Calcium can also bind to other minerals (such as phosphate) and aid in their removal from the body. Calcium lactate is used to prevent and to treat calcium deficiencies. Calcium lactate may also be used for purposes other than those listed in this medication guide.
