Calcium Magnesium Citrate Purified Granular

Jost Code: 2206

Calcium Magnesium Citrate Purified Granular can be used as a dietary ingredient and as a nutrient.

Jost R&D developed a proprietary process to create a unique product: Ca2 Mg Citrate which will not harden in water solution and gives the correct ratio of Ca: Mg of 2:1 — the same ratio as the recommended daily requirement. Calcium Magnesium Citrate Pentahydrate provides 14% calcium and 4.2% magnesium per unit dose on an “as is” basis, delivering 140mg of calcium and 42mg of magnesium per gram of Calcium Magnesium Citrate Pentahydrate used in a formulation.

Code 2206, Purified Granular is beneficial to customers that desire a directly compressible magnesium source for tablet manufacturing. Typically magnesium salts are very difficult to tablet. However, the compressibility of calcium magnesium citrate co-salt is superior to both calcium citrate and magnesium citrate.

Calcium is vital for strong bone and teeth formation. It also helps to maintain a regular heartbeat and transmission of nerve impulses. Magnesium plays a vital role in regulating the neuromuscular activity of the heart, converts blood sugar to energy and is necessary for proper calcium and vitamin C metabolism. Product specifications, SDSs and certifications are available under Additional Information.

    Aims: Cardiovascular (CV) complications are common in chronic kidney disease (CKD). Numerous metabolic disturbances including hyperphosphatemia, high circulating calciprotein particles (CPP), hyperparathyroidism, metabolic acidosis, and magnesium deficiency are associated with, and likely pathogenic for CV complications in CKD. The goal of this feasibility study was to determine whether effervescent calcium magnesium citrate (EffCaMgCit) ameliorates the aforementioned… Read Abstract
