White or almost white, crystalline or granular powder. Calcium lactate occurs as white or almost white, crystalline or granular powder. It is slightly efflorescent.


DryPowder|Almost odourless, white crystalline powder or granules


Calcium lactate is a salt that consists of two lactate anions for each calcium cation (Ca2+). It is prepared commercially by the neutralization of lactic acid with calcium carbonate or calcium hydroxide. Approved by the FDA as a direct food substance affirmed as generally recognized as safe, calcium lactate is used as a firming agent, flavoring agent, leavening agent, stabilizer, and thickener. 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.

Sol in water

Calcium lactate can exist in a number of hydration states, which are characterized as anhydrous, monohydrate, trihydrate, and pentahydrate. Dehydration of the pentahydrate form is rapid at temperatures of 558℃ and above. Dehydration is reported to be accompanied by some loss of crystallinity. Tablet crushing strength was reported to be reduced following dehydration of calcium lactate pentahydrate.

Both components of calcium lactate, calcium ion and lactic acid, play essential roles in the human body as a skeletal element an energy source, respectively.

In order to be absorbed, calcium must be in its freely soluble form (Ca2+) or bound to a soluble organic molecule. Calcium absorption mainly occurs at the duodenum and proximal jejunum due to more acidic pH and the abundance of the calcium binding proteins. The mean calcium absorption is about 25% of calcium intake (range is 10 – 40%) in the small intestine, and is mediated by both passive diffusion and active transport.|Following oral administration to a human volunteer, 20 to 30% of a dose of lactic acid of up to 3000 mg was excreted via the urine during a period of 14 hours.|The majority of calcium absorbed (99%) is stored in the skeleton and teeth for structural integrity.|No pharmacokinetic data available.

In hepatic gluconeogenesis, lactic acid is converted to glucose. Lactic acid may be further catabolyzed in the lactic acid cycle.|RUMINAL INGESTA FROM COWS FED 2.5 L GRAIN-ALFALFA HAY MIXT PROVIDING 545 G OF SODIUM LACTATE & CALCIUM LACTATE DAILY INCUBATED WITH SODIUM LACTATE OR 17 POLY LACTIC ACID.

No pharmacokinetic data available.

In aqueous environments such as the gastrointestinal (GI) tract, calcium lactate will dissociate into calcium cation and lactic acid anions, the conjugate base of lactic acid. Lactic acid is a naturally-occurring compound that serves as fuel or energy in mammals by acting as an ubiquitous intermediate in the metabolic pathways. Lactic acid diffuses through the muscles and is transported to the liver by the bloodstream to participate in gluconeogenesis.

Calcium lactate Use and Manufacturing

Methods of Manufacturing

The fermentation method uses calcium carbonate as a neutralizing agent to carry out lactic acid fermentation. After the fermentation liquid is neutralized with lime water, secondary crystallization is performed to directly produce calcium lactate. The fermentation raw material can be rice gelatinized saccharified liquid or rice flour (corn flour) double enzyme hydrolysate, for specific reference to lactic acid fermentation. Neutralization method: Calcium hydroxide or calcium oxide is added to 50% of the finished lactic acid solution for neutralization reaction, then insoluble impurities are removed by filtration, and then cooled, crystallized, separated and dried to obtain the finished product. This method is simple, but the cost is high. 2C3H6O3+Ca(OH)2→(C3H5O3)2Ca+2H2O
