Calcium citrate tetrahydrate

Description:
Calcium citrate tetrahydrate is a chemical compound with the formula C12H10CaO14·4H2O. It is a calcium salt of citric acid and is commonly used as a dietary supplement to provide calcium, particularly for individuals who may have deficiencies or require additional calcium intake for bone health. This compound appears as a white crystalline powder and is soluble in water, making it suitable for various formulations, including tablets and powders. The tetrahydrate form indicates that it contains four molecules of water for each molecule of calcium citrate, which influences its stability and solubility. Calcium citrate tetrahydrate is often preferred over other calcium supplements due to its relatively high bioavailability and lower gastrointestinal side effects. It is also utilized in food and pharmaceutical applications as a calcium fortifier and a buffering agent. As with any supplement, it is important to use it under appropriate guidance to avoid potential interactions or side effects.
