About CALCIUM LEVULINATE

Product Name: CALCIUM LEVULINATE

Grade: IP/BP/USP

Calcium levulinate can be used alone, or with calcium lactate, calcium chloride, and other compounds, either for pharmaceutical tablets, capsules, or injections preparation. In essence, calcium levulinate is ultimately a relatively new calcium supplementation option.

The relatively new calcium levulinate is produced from a direct reaction between L- or levulinic acid levulose and calcium hydroxide . The resultant calcium levulinate formulation, when used as a calcium supplement, possesses a high calcium content that is observed to be 14.8% higher than the content typically found in calcium lactate. This formulation is considered a low molecular weight organic calcium ion type that is easily absorbed through the intestinal wall . This new application of calcium is intended for use as a food fortifier, to fortify foods like sauces, condiments, beverages, soft drinks, milk and milk products, soy milk and soy products with calcium nutrition.

FAQs of CALCIUM LEVULINATE:

Q: How should Calcium Levulinate be stored to ensure maximum shelf life?

A: Calcium Levulinate should be stored in tightly closed HDPE bags or drums, placed in a cool, dry area. This helps maintain product stability and ensures its full 24-month shelf life.

Q: What is the main usage of Calcium Levulinate in pharmaceutical applications?

A: Calcium Levulinate serves as a raw material primarily used as a calcium supplement in medicinal formulations and as an active pharmaceutical ingredient in various drugs.

Q: When is Calcium Levulinate preferred over other forms of calcium supplements?

A: Calcium Levulinate is favored when a highly pure, water-soluble, and pharmacopeia-compliant source of calcium is required, especially for injectable or oral pharmaceutical formulations.

Q: Where is Calcium Levulinate primarily manufactured and exported from?

A: Calcium Levulinate is predominantly manufactured and exported by pharmaceutical suppliers in India, serving clients worldwide.

Q: What processes ensure the safety and quality of Calcium Levulinate?

A: Quality is secured through rigorous testing for lead, arsenic, heavy metals, and microbiological contaminants, as well as compliance with identification, acidity/alkalinity, and solubility standards.

Q: How does Calcium Levulinate benefit final pharmaceutical formulations?

A: Its high purity, effective calcium content, excellent solubility, and neutral taste contribute to safe, potent, and patient-friendly formulations.

Q: Is there any special handling required for Calcium Levulinate due to its physical or chemical properties?

A: No special handling is required, as it is non-poisonous and odorless, but it should be kept tightly sealed in its original packaging to prevent moisture absorption and maintain quality.
