L-Calcium Lactate, molecular formula C6H10CaO6·nH2O (n=0-5), is currently commonly found as pentahydrate and anhydrous L-calcium lactate, in the form of white granules or powder, almost odorless and tasteless.
The theoretical calcium content of pentahydrate is 13%, and the solubility at room temperature is about 8.5g/100mL. The theoretical calcium content of anhydrous is 18%, and the solubility at room temperature is about 10g/100mL. The solution is transparent or slightly turbid. Due to its special left-handed molecular structure, the absorption and utilization rate of L-calcium lactate is much higher than that of DL-calcium lactate, and it also does not have the fermented taste of DL-calcium lactate.
L-calcium lactate has good compatibility with the human body and a very wide range of uses. When used as a calcium fortifier, L-calcium lactate can be used in beverages, rice and flour products, tablets, oral liquids and infant foods. When used as a crosslinking agent, it can be used in jelly, jam, and meat products.

1. Good Flowability: The granular form allows for smooth handling and ease of incorporation into different formulations without clumping.
2. High Bioavailability: L-Calcium Lactate is known for its superior absorption rate compared to other calcium salts, making it a highly bioavailable source of calcium.
3. Neutral Taste: L-Calcium Lactate granules have a mild or neutral taste, making them suitable for use in foods and beverages without altering the product’s flavor profile.
4. Solubility: It is moderately soluble in water, allowing for easy incorporation into both liquid and solid formulations.
5. Low Impurity Levels: It typically contains low levels of heavy metals like lead and arsenic, ensuring safety for use in food-grade and pharmaceutical applications.
6. Stability: L-Calcium Lactate granules are chemically stable, maintaining their structure and functionality during storage and processing.
7. Non-Hygroscopic: The granules do not easily absorb moisture from the air, making them stable in a variety of environments.
1. Calcium Source: The primary function of L-Calcium Lactate granules is to serve as an efficient and highly bioavailable calcium source, crucial for bone health, dental health, and overall physiological functions like nerve signaling and muscle contraction.
2. pH Regulator: In food and beverage formulations, it acts as a buffering agent, helping to control and stabilize pH levels.
3. Firming Agent: Used in canned fruits and vegetables to prevent softening during processing, maintaining the product’s texture.
4. Preservative Enhancer: In certain applications, L-Calcium Lactate can help extend the shelf life of food products by enhancing the effectiveness of preservatives.
5. Electrolyte Balance: In sports drinks and supplements, L-Calcium Lactate helps maintain the electrolyte balance in the body, which is essential for hydration, muscle function, and recovery after physical activity.
1. Food and Beverage Industry:
• Calcium Fortification: L-Calcium Lactate granules are widely used to fortify foods and beverages like juices, dairy products, plant-based drinks, and nutritional snacks to enhance calcium content without affecting taste or texture.
• pH Buffering: Used as a buffering agent in processed foods, baked goods, and beverages to stabilize pH levels.
• Firming Agent: Commonly used in the canning of fruits and vegetables to maintain their firmness and texture during processing.
2. Pharmaceuticals:
• Calcium Supplements: L-Calcium Lactate is an ideal ingredient in calcium supplements, especially in tablet, capsule, and granule form, due to its high bioavailability.
• Effervescent Tablets: The granules dissolve easily in water, making them suitable for effervescent tablet formulations that require quick disintegration.
3. Dietary Supplements:
• Sports Nutrition: L-Calcium Lactate granules are added to sports drinks, protein powders, and wellness supplements to provide a bioavailable source of calcium, which supports bone health and muscle function.
4. Health and Wellness Products:
• Bone Health: Due to its superior absorption, L-Calcium Lactate granules are often used in products designed to support bone density and prevent calcium deficiency.
• Muscle Function: Calcium is essential for muscle contraction, making L-Calcium Lactate granules valuable in products aimed at improving muscle performance and recovery.
