Calcium lactate is a white or cream, almost odorless food additive derived from lactic acid, a compound that cells naturally create when trying to produce energy in low oxygen conditions.
Despite its similar name, calcium lactate does not contain lactose. 

As such, Calcium Lactate’s safe for people with lactose intolerance.
Calcium Lactate is a dairy-free, vegan tablet that helps maintain healthy bone density.
Calcium Lactate is excellent source of calcium.

Calcium Lactate is good source of magnesium.
Calcium Lactate is Vegan, vegetarian, gluten-free, non-dairy, non-soy.
Calcium lactate is a white crystalline salt with formula C6H10CaO6, consisting of two lactate anions H3C(CHOH)CO−2 for each calcium cation Ca2+. 

Calcium Lactate forms several hydrates, the most common being the pentahydrate C6H10CaO6·5H2O.
Calcium lactate is an ingredient found in a variety of nutritional products.
Calcium lactate is a salt that consists of two lactate anions for each calcium cation (Ca2+). 

Calcium Lactate is prepared commercially by the neutralization of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.

Calcium lactate is also found in daily dietary supplements as a source of calcium. 
It is also available in various hydrate forms, where calcium lactate pentahydrate is the most common.
Calcium Lactate is a small molecule drug with a maximum clinical trial phase of IV and has 1 investigational indication.

Calcium lactate is a food additive that’s typically added to a wide variety of foods to enhance their texture and flavor or help extend their shelf life.
Calcium lactate is calcium paired with lactic acid. 

The body needs calcium to support bone, heart, muscle, and nerve health. 
Boosting calcium intake through supplements or food may help reduce cancer and heart disease risk, lower blood pressure, and prevent osteoporosis.

Chewing gum with calcium lactate may also benefit oral health, though more research is needed.
Lactic acid is naturally produced by the body, especially during exercise. 
Combining it with calcium makes it easier for the body to break the calcium down and use it. 

However, calcium lactate still provides less calcium and is harder to absorb than other calcium salts, like calcium carbonate, which are easier for the body to use.
Calcium lactate is a salt that is extracted from lactic acid and dissolves quickly and easily in water. 

USES and APPLICATIONS of CALCIUM LACTATE:
Animal feeds: Calcium lactate may be added to animal rations as a source of calcium.
Water treatment: Calcium lactate has been considered as a coagulant for removing suspended solids from water, as a renewable, non-toxic, and biodegradable alternative to aluminum chloride AlCl3.

Bioconcrete uses of Calcium Lactate: Addition of calcium lactate substantially increases the compressive strength and reduces water permeability of bioconcrete, by enabling bacteria such as Enterococcus faecalis, Bacillus cohnii, Bacillus pseudofirmus and Sporosarcina pasteurii to produce more calcite.

Calcium Lactate’s produced commercially by neutralizing lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide and most often used to stabilize, thicken, flavor, firm, or leaven foods.

Calcium Lactate is a dairy-free, vegan tablet that helps maintain healthy bone density.

Calcium Lactate is an excellent source of calcium and a good source of magnesium.
Calcium Lactate (E327) can be used together with calcium gluconate to form a calcium-rich product and is perfect for reverse spherification (dipped in sodium alginate bath) without adding any flavor at all to the end product. 

Calcium Lactate is soluble in cold liquids and can be used with acidic, high alcohol, or fatty mediums.
Calcium Lactate can be used with Alignat, Gellan and some types of Carrageenan. 
Calcium Lactate reacts with them by causing mixtures to gel without heating.

Calcium Lactate is adequate calcium as part of a healthful diet, along with physical activity, may reduce the risk of osteoporosis in later life.

-Chemistry uses of Calcium Lactate:
Calcium Lactate was formerly an intermediate in the preparation of lactic acid for food and medical uses. 

The impure acid from various sources was converted to calcium lactate, purified by crystallization, and then converted back to acid by treatment with sulfuric acid, which precipitated the calcium as calcium sulfate. 

This method yielded a purer product than would be obtained by distillation of the original acid.
Recently ammonium lactate has been used as an alternative to calcium in this process.

MEDICINE USES OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Calcium lactate has several uses in human and veterinary medicine.
Calcium Lactate is also used to treat hypocalcaemia (calcium deficiencies). 

Calcium Lactate can be absorbed at various pHs, thus it does not need to be taken with food. 
However, in this use Calcium Lactate has been found to be less convenient than calcium citrate. 

Calcium lactate contains 13% elemental calcium.
In the early 20th century, oral administration of calcium lactate dissolved in water (but not in milk or tablets) was found to be effective in prevention of tetany in humans and dogs with parathyroid insufficiency or who underwent parathyroidectomy.

Calcium Lactate is also found in some mouth washes and toothpaste as an anti-tartar agent.
Calcium lactate (or other calcium salts) is an antidote for soluble fluoride ingestion  and hydrofluoric acid.

While aqueous solutions of calcium lactate exhibit a slightly basic (above 7) pH due to the slight hydrolysis of lactate ions, calcium lactate is not used in medicine as an antacid. 

The reasons lie in its chemical properties and physiological behavior in the gastrointestinal tract. 
Calcium lactate has insufficient acid-neutralizing capacity caused by its weak base formation. 

The lactate ion (C3H5O3−) is the conjugate base of lactic acid, which is a weak acid. 
When calcium lactate dissolves in water, it releases lactate ions that can slightly increase the pH of the aqueous solution. 

The degree of hydroxide ion (OH−) generation through lactate ion hydrolysis is minimal, making the solution only mildly basic.
Calcium lactate is more soluble in water compared to other calcium salts such as calcium citrate or carbonate, leading to quicker absorption in the small intestine rather than reacting in the stomach. 

The slight increase in pH from calcium lactate is rapidly buffered by the stomach's acidic environment, as such, it does not provide the rapid pH shift needed to relieve symptoms of hyperacidity.

As such, the role of calcium lactate is to supply calcium ions to the body—a source of bioavailable calcium. 
Calcium lactate is a well-absorbed and generally safe form of calcium supplementation that does not interfere with digestion.

Its properties allow Calcium Lactate to be used effectively without disrupting normal gastrointestinal function, making it suitable for individuals seeking to increase their calcium intake without affecting their digestive processes.

Calcium lactate does not interact significantly with digestive enzymes or other components of the gastrointestinal tract. 
Calcium Lactate dissolves and releases calcium ions that are absorbed in the small intestine without affecting the digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, or fats

FOOD INDUSTRY USES OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Calcium Lactate is a food additive classified by the United States FDA as generally recognized as safe (GRAS), for uses as a firming agent, a flavor enhancer or flavoring agent, a leavening agent, a nutritional supplement, and a stabilizer and thickener.

Calcium lactate is also known as cheese lactate because it coagulates milk, making the chhena used in the production of paneer cheese.
Chhena is also used to make various sweets and other milk proteins.

Calcium lactate is an ingredient in some baking powders containing sodium acid pyrophosphate. 
Calcium Lactate provides calcium in order to delay leavening. 

Calcium lactate is added to sugar-free foods to prevent tooth decay. When added to chewing gum containing xylitol, it increases the remineralization of tooth enamel.

Calcium Lactate is also added to fresh-cut fruits, such as cantaloupes, to keep them firm and extend their shelf life, without the bitter taste caused by calcium chloride, which can also be used for this purpose.

Calcium lactate is used in molecular gastronomy as a flavorless fat-soluble agent for plain and reverse spherification. 
Calcium Lactate reacts with sodium alginate to form a skin around the food item.

PROPERTIES OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
The lactate ion is chiral, with two enantiomers, D (−,R) and L (+,S). 
The L isomer is the one normally synthesized and metabolized by living organisms, but some bacteria can produce the D form or convert the L to D. 
Thus calcium lactate also has D and L isomers, where all anions are of the same type.

Some synthesis processes yield a mixture of the two in equal parts, resulting in the DL (racemic) salt. 
Both the L and the DL forms occur as crystals on the surface of aging Cheddar cheese.

The solubility of calcium L-lactate in water increases significantly in presence of d-gluconate ions, from 6.7 g/dl) at 25 °C to 9.74 g/dl or more.
Paradoxically, while the solubility of calcium L-lactate increases with temperature from 10 °C (4.8 g/dl) to 30 °C (8.5 g/dl), the concentration of free Ca2+ ions decreases by almost one half. 

This is explained as the lactate and calcium ions becoming less hydrated and forming a complex C
3H5O3Ca+.
The DL (racemic) form of the salt is much less soluble in water than the pure L or D isomers, so that a solution that contains as little as 25% of the D form will deposit racemic DL-lactate crystals instead of L-lactate.

The pentahydrate loses water in a dry atmosphere between 35 and 135 °C, being reduced to the anhydrous form and losing its crystalline character. 
The process is reversed at 25 °C and 75% relative humidity.

In aqueous solutions, calcium lactate partially dissociates into calcium ions (Ca2+) and lactate ions (C3H5O3−). 
The lactate ion, being the conjugate base of lactic acid (a weak acid), can undergo slight hydrolysis, making the solution mildly alkaline. 
This reaction increases the concentration of hydroxide ions (OH−), resulting in a solution with a pH slightly above 7, that is, basic.

WHAT FOODS CONTAIN CALCIUM LACTATE?
Calcium lactate is commonly used as a food additive in packaged foods, such as:
*nectars
*jams, jellies, and marmalades
*butter, margarine, and other types of fats used for cooking or frying
*canned fruits and vegetables
*beer

Calcium Lactate’s sometimes also added to fresh foods, such as mozzarella cheese, fresh pastas, or precut fruit to help them maintain their firmness or extend their shelf life.

You can tell whether a food contains calcium lactate by looking for it on the ingredient label. 
Calcium lactate may also be labeled as E327.

Calcium lactate can be found in a variety of packaged foods, including jams, beer, and cooking fats, as well as canned fruits and vegetables. 
Calcium Lactate can also be added to certain cheeses, fresh pastas, or precut fruits.

BENEFITS OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Supplement use should be individualized and vetted by a healthcare professional, such as a registered dietitian nutritionist (RD or RDN), pharmacist, or doctor. 
No supplement is intended to treat, cure, or prevent disease.

Calcium is the most abundant mineral in the body. 
It is required for bone health and for heart, muscle, and nerve function. 

In the body, blood calcium levels remain relatively consistent and unchanged. Calcium is acquired from dietary sources. 
Apart from calcium for bone health, additional possible benefits of calcium lactate supplementation include improved heart and oral health, cancer prevention, reduced blood pressure, and improved exercise performance.

*Bone Health
When taken with vitamin D, calcium supplements support the development and maintenance of strong, healthy bones and teeth. 

However, calcium lactate contains less calcium than other calcium supplements (such as calcium citrate and calcium carbonate) and may not be absorbed and used by the body as well.
Therefore, more tablets may be required to get the same bone health benefits if you are taking calcium lactate.

*Heart Health
An older study examined the effect of calcium lactate supplementation on cholesterol in 43 people with hyperlipidemia and previous viral inflammation of the liver. 

The study participants were divided into a test group and a control (placebo) group. 
The test group was given calcium lactate and vitamin C three times a day for four weeks.
After four weeks, it was found that the test group had decreased total cholesterol levels by 4%. 

Additionally, the supplementation did not cause side effects. 
However, there were no statistically significant changes in other cholesterol markers.

This study shows promise for calcium lactate supplementation on heart health. 
However, it was small and used a relatively low dose of calcium lactate. 
Additional studies are needed to validate the role of calcium lactate supplementation in relation to heart health.

*Oral Health
A study looked at whether adding calcium lactate to xylitol chewing gum helps remineralize lesions on tooth enamel. 
Artificial lesions were made on enamel slabs of human extracted teeth and worn by 10 volunteers. 
Another 10 were used as controls and stored in a humidifier.

The study participants wore the enamel slabs in one of the following ways:
*Without chewing gum
*With chewing gum containing xylitol and calcium lactate
*With chewing gum containing only xylitol

They did this four times a day for two weeks.
Remineralization was found to be greater after chewing xylitol and calcium lactate gum than in the other groups. 
This led researchers to conclude that it might increase remineralization of tooth enamel surfaces.

A 2014 study looked at the ability of a calcium lactate pre-rinse to increase fluoride protection against tooth enamel erosion. 
The researchers found that the pre-rinse followed by a fluoride rinse significantly decreased surface loss of enamel when used before an erosive challenge.

However, researchers of an earlier study on calcium lactate pre-rinse found that it did not significantly affect plaque fluoride concentration under any condition.

The mixed results and small sample size of these studies mean further research is needed before calcium lactate can be recommended for oral health.

*Cancer Prevention
Low levels of dietary calcium have been linked with an increased risk of colorectal cancer in some studies. 
Other studies suggest that increasing calcium intake may lower the risk for the recurrence of colorectal adenomas.

*Reduced Blood Pressure
Several large observational studies have shown an association between lower calcium intake and a higher risk of hypertension (high blood pressure).

Researchers who reviewed 20 clinical trials found an increase in calcium intake slightly reduces both systolic and diastolic blood pressure and that calcium supplementation greater than 1000 milligrams caused a greater blood pressure reduction.

*Exercise Performance
Researchers studied the effects of calcium lactate on repeated high-intensity exercise performance. 
They measured blood pH and bicarbonate of physically active young men at several time increments after ingestion of calcium lactate or placebo.

The study found that both low- and high-dose calcium lactate supplementation increased blood pH and bicarbonate. 
However, the increase was not enough to improve repeated high-intensity exercise performance.

A 2017 double-blind, placebo-controlled study examined the effect of long-term calcium lactate supplementation on blood pH, bicarbonate, and high-intensity intermittent exercise performance.

Calcium lactate, sodium bicarbonate, or placebo was given to 18 athletes four times a day for five days. 
The researchers concluded that calcium lactate supplementation did not enhance high-intensity intermittent performance.12

These studies demonstrate that calcium lactate may not be beneficial for exercise performance. 
Additional studies may help researchers understand the mixed results of previous, earlier studies.

POSSIBLE HEALTH BENEFITS OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Very few studies have specifically researched the health benefits of calcium lactate.
That said, Calcium Lactate can be used as a main source of calcium in calcium supplements, and some studies link calcium-rich diets to stronger and healthier bones, though research is inconsistent.

Though sourcing your calcium directly from foods remains the best way to ingest this mineral, supplements can be a helpful tool for those who are unable to get enough calcium through their diet alone.
When consumed as a supplement, calcium lactate may provide benefits similar to those associated with other calcium supplements, including:

*Stronger bones. 
When taken together with vitamin D, calcium supplements are thought to contribute to the development and maintenance of strong, healthy bones.

*Reduced blood pressure. 
Calcium-rich diets may help slightly lower systolic blood pressure (the top number) in those with elevated blood pressure. 
However, there seems to be little benefit among people with normal blood pressure levels.

*Protection against preeclampsia. 
High calcium intakes during pregnancy may lower the risk of preeclampsia, a serious complication that affects up to 14% of pregnancies worldwide.

*Protection against colon cancer. 
Studies suggest that a high calcium intake from foods or supplements may reduce colon cancer risk. 
Still, more research is needed to confirm these findings.

Older studies further suggest that chewing gums containing calcium lactate together with the artificial sweetener xylitol may help protect against cavities. 

Yet, more research is needed to confirm these results.
Gram per gram, calcium lactate tends to provide smaller amounts of calcium than more popular forms of calcium, such as calcium carbonate and calcium citrate.

Therefore, to contain equivalent amounts of calcium, calcium lactate supplements may be larger than other types of calcium supplements, potentially making them harder to swallow. 
You may also need to take more pills.

Calcium lactate is likely less constipating than calcium carbonate, but it doesn’t provide any additional benefits beyond those associated with calcium citrate. 
This explains why Calcium Lactate’s seldom used as a main ingredient in calcium supplements.

Calcium lactate is sometimes added to calcium supplements, which may help improve bone strength, oral health, and blood pressure, as well as perhaps even lower the risk of colon cancer in people unable to get enough of this mineral through their diet alone.

Both of these minerals are essential for a number of metabolic functions and processes in the body, yet much of the U.S. population struggles to meet the recommended amount of either mineral.

PREPARATION OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Calcium lactate can be prepared by the reaction of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
Since the 19th century, Calcium Lactate has been obtained industrially by fermentation of carbohydrates in the presence of calcium mineral sources such as calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide.
Fermentation may produce either D or L lactate, or a racemic mixture of both, depending on the type of organism used.

HOW TO USE CALCIUM LACTATE:
Take Calcium Lactate by mouth with food. If your product contains calcium citrate, then it may be taken with or without food. 
Follow all directions on Calcium Lactate package, or take as directed by your doctor. 

For best absorption, if your daily dose is more than 600 milligrams, then divide your dose and space it throughout the day.
If you have any questions, ask your doctor or pharmacist.

If you are using the chewable product, chew it well before swallowing.
If you are using the effervescent tablet, allow the tablet to fully dissolve in a glass of water before drinking it. 

Do not chew or swallow the tablet whole.
If you are using the liquid product or powder, measure the medication with a dose-measuring spoon or device to make sure you get the correct dose. 

Do not use a household spoon. 
If the liquid product is a suspension, shake the bottle well before each dose.

Use Calcium Lactate regularly to get the most benefit from it. 
To help you remember, take Calcium Lactate at the same time(s) each day.

If your doctor has recommended that you follow a special diet, it is very important to follow the diet to get the most benefit from Calcium Lactate and to prevent serious side effects. 
Do not take other supplements/vitamins unless ordered by your doctor.

USAGE OF CALCIUM LACTATE:
Use 1 to 9 percent calcium lactate relative to water for water baths. 
There, mixtures with gellan gum or sodium alginate can react and spheres, beads or other molecular devices are created. 
When Calcium Lactate is to be mixed with other ingredients and eaten, we recommend using 1 percent relative to the rest of the recipe. 
Calcium Lactate can also be sprinkled on fruit to extend its shelf life.

WHY CALCIUM LACTATE WORKS:
Calcium Lactate contains 20% of the daily recommended value of calcium (from calcium lactate and stearate) and 12% of the daily recommended value of magnesium.
