CALCIUM GLUCONATE IP / BP / USP / EP & FEED / TECH

The company has set up first of its kind industrial fermentation facilities consisting of 100 Thousand Liters Aerobic Fermentation establishment and suitable Down Stream processing facilities for Calcium Gluconate (Bulk Drug) production, based on CSIR (RRL, Jammu) process technology. These facilities were inaugurated by Dr. R A Mashelkar, DG - CSIR, on 5th May 2004.

Human Pharmaceutical Industry

Calcium is an essential element of tissues and blood which contains approximately 10 milligrams per 100 milliliters. The average daily requirement of calcium is 500 milligrams but larger amounts are necessary during periods of growth, pregnancy and lactation. Inadequate calcium absorption leads to rickets and imperfect clarification of bones and teeth.

The demand by infant up to the mother during pregnancy and lactation may cause deflection of calcium from the maternal bones. The deficiency is more often caused by lack of Vitamin D. Therefore, calcium preparations for this purpose usually contain both Calcium and Vitamin D.

Food Industry

Frequently Calcium Gluconate is added to food for its nutritional / health value e.g. in baby food, juices, biscuits, health foods etc. Another use is the incorporation of Calcium Gluconate in instant pudding power mixes in order to increase the speed of reaction. Although Calcium Gluconate is more expensive than some other Calcium Salts, it has the preference for quality products. It does not give the pudding a sour taste since it is neutral.

Veterinary Pharmaceutical Industry

Here Calcium Gluconate is used for the treatment of hypocalcaemia in cases of milk fever and grass tetany. Calcium Gluconate is the product of choice for such treatment, because it has no irritating effects on the body tissue.

Potassium Gluconate

Potassium Gluconate is administered in all cases of potassium deficiency and when there is danger of potassium depletion. Potassium depletion may be caused by diabetic acidosis, diarrhoea, vomiting etc., Potassium chloride is also used but Potassium Gluconate is preferred because of its slightly mild saline taste.

Other Gluconates

Based on market requirements, the company can supply any salt as per the details provided the chart. We can also provide combination of salts for Pharma & Food, Veterinary and Agricultural segments - either in the form of formulation or combination of different salts, as per customer requirements.
