White crystalline powder, odorless, slightly hygroscopic, slightly soluble in water, soluble in acid, and almost insoluble in ethanol. The crystal water gradually loses water when heated to 100℃, and completely loses water at 120℃.

Chemical nature

Calcium citrate is stable, stable under normal temperature and pressure. Usually it is not harmful to water. If there is no government permission, do not discharge the material into the surrounding environment.

Application areas:

Food calcium fortifier, the absorption effect is better than inorganic calcium. It can be used for the fortification of a variety of foods, including infant formulas, fruit juices, dairy products, solid beverages, sports drinks, cow milk, soy milk, health products and cereal products. my country stipulates that it can be used for cereals and their products, and the usage amount is 8-16g/kg; in milk beverages and liquids, it is 1.8-3.6g/kg.

Cationic calcium has the effects of strengthening bones, strengthening teeth, anti-inflammatory, analgesic, maintaining the normal excitability of nerves and muscles, and curing allergic diseases.

Calcium deficiency can easily lead to anorexia and partial eclipse in children; difficult to fall asleep, wake up, and catch colds; thinning hair; mental retardation; late learning to walk, late teething or irregular teething; paroxysmal abdominal pain and diarrhea; X or O legs ; Chicken breast.

Calcium deficiency can also cause adolescents to lose concentration, fatigue, backaches, low immunity, tooth decay or poor dental growth; pregnant and lactating women with cramps and fatigue, joint pain, dizziness, anemia and prenatal hypertension syndrome, edema and Insufficient milk production.

Calcium deficiency can cause itching, heel pain, lumbar and cervical spine pain, loose and falling teeth, obvious hunchback, decreased height, loss of appetite, peptic ulcer, dreaminess, insomnia, irritability, irritability, etc.

According to the 2002 "Chinese Residents' Nutrition and Health" survey report, Chinese people's calcium deficiency is still very serious. The daily calcium intake of residents is 391 mg, which is only 41% of the recommended intake.

Citric acid is a food flavor acid complexing agent, which can promote the decomposition of fat and maintain the acid-base balance of the body. Obese people tend to feel tired because body fat and lactic acid in the blood tend to increase and accumulate. Therefore, once the lactic acid increases, the fat will also increase, making people feel lazy and listless, forming a vicious circle. Citric acid can use lactic acid as energy again, so after taking citric acid, it can accelerate the decomposition of lactic acid, eliminate fatigue, activate the whole body, and no longer feel weak limbs. Ingesting citric acid can reduce the content of lactic acid in the body, so that oxygen and nutrients can be smoothly transported to all parts of the body, and further enhance the body's ability to produce energy, and produce the physical strength and motivation you want to exercise. Many well-known athletes rely on the intake of citric acid to keep their bodies in top condition.

Calcium citrate has anticoagulant effect and can prevent and treat hypertension and myocardial infarction. Therefore, the citrate system is the first choice for calcium.
