CALCIUM GLUCONATE
What is Calcium Gluconate Used For?
Calcium gluconate food grade is one of the most bioavailable calcium sources available for food fortification and dietary supplement manufacturing. Unlike calcium carbonate, calcium gluconate dissolves easily and has a mild, non-bitter taste — making it ideal for beverages, infant formula, and chewable tablets.
Key Applications
- Food Fortification: Dairy alternatives, juices, cereals, and infant formula
- Dietary Supplements: Calcium tablets, chewable vitamins, effervescent powders
- Sports Nutrition: Electrolyte drinks and protein powders
- Clinical Nutrition: (non-pharma formats): Oral calcium replenishment formulations for functional foods, sports recovery drinks, and elderly nutrition products
- Baking: Dough conditioner and leavening aid

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between calcium gluconate and calcium carbonate?
Calcium gluconate has higher bioavailability and water solubility than calcium carbonate. It does not require stomach acid for absorption, making it suitable for people with low gastric acid. It also has a much milder taste, which is important for food and beverage applications.
WIS Biotech supplies food grade and feed grade calcium gluconate only. Our food-grade product meets FCC, GB 15571-2010 (China food fortifier standard), and E578 specifications. We do not manufacture pharmaceutical-grade or injection-grade calcium gluconate — our production line is dedicated to food and feed applications, which avoids cross-contamination risk for food-grade buyers.
What is the minimum order quantity (MOQ) for calcium gluconate?
Our standard MOQ is 25 kg (1 bag) for sampling and small orders, with bulk pricing available from 500 kg. Contact us for a custom quote.
