Black or white crystalline salt. It is made from the action of calcium carbonate and and lactic acid. Calcium lactate is used in foods and it is also present in medicines.

What is the difference between calcium carbonate and calcium lactate?
Calcium carbonate is CaCO3. Calcium lactate is the salt of lactic acid and has the formula, C6H10CaO6
Why use calcium lactate and not calcium carbonate or other OTC calcium supplements?
Calcium lactate is more soluble in water than calcium carbonate, and is therefore more easily absorbed by the digestive system.
What is the formula for calcium lactate?
The formula of calcium lactate is [CH3CH(OH)COO]2Ca or C6H10CaO6.
What happens when calcium lactate is heated?
calcium carbonate, acetaldehyde and 2-hydroxy propanal
What are the characteristic properties of the element calcium?
they react vigorously with water to give off oxygen. They are good reducing agents. They react with halogens. They form basic oxide.
What forms an electrolyte solution?
Salt in water is sodium. Ringer's lactate solution (sodium lactate solution and Hartmann's solution), is a mix of sodium chloride, sodium lactate, potassium chloride, and calcium chloride in water. Sodium Chloride is a mix of sodium and chloride.
What does lactate mean in a cerebrospinal analysis?
The CSF lactate is used mainly to help differentiate bacterial and fungal meningitis, which cause increased lactate, from viral meningitis, which does not.
Difference between hartmann's and sodium chloride?
The Hartmannn solution contain sodium lactate and sodium, potassium, calcium chlorides.
What is Lactated Ringer's?
Saline solution. A solution containing sodium chloride, potassium chloride, calcium chloride, and sodium lactate in distilled water, used as a topical treatment for wounds and burns. It is also used to culture animal cells.
How bioavailable and useful is TriCalcium Phosphate as a form of dietary Calcium in humans?
The design was randomized crossover, within-subject. The subjects were 25 healthy premenopausal women in an academic health sciences center. Two commercially marketed calcium-fortified orange juices, ingested in an amount providing 500 mg calcium, were taken at breakfast after an overnight fast. The two fortification systems tested were calcium citrate malate and a combination of tricalcium phosphate and calcium lactate (tricalcium phosphate/calcium lactate). The main outcome measure was the area under the curve (AUC) for the increase in serum calcium from 0 to 9 hours after ingesting the test calcium source. Statistical analyses performed were repeated measures analysis of variance, testing source, and sequence. AUC 9 was 48% greater for calcium citrate malate than for tricalcium phosphate/calcium lactate ( P < .001); absorbed calcium calculated from AUC 9 values (mean+/-standard error of the mean) was 148+/-9.0 mg and 100+/-8.9 mg for calcium citrate malate and tricalcium phosphate/calcium lactate, respectively. The results indicate that equivalent calcium contents on a nutritional label do not guarantee equivalent nutritional value. Nutritionists and dietetics professionals should encourage manufacturers of fortified products to provide information on bioavailability.
WHAT IS sodium lactate?
Sodium lactate is a type of sodium salt of lactic acid. It is produced through fermentation and is used as a preservative.
What is the white stuff on your Cheddar cheese?
Many people believe that it is mold (harmless or otherwise), but unless it is fuzzy, it is probably calcium lactate crystalizing on the surface. Calcium lactate is something that is found naturally in cheese, and as the cheese loses moisture in the fridge, the calcium lactate can no longer remain disolved and thus forms white crystals on the surface. Some aged cheeses such as parmesan often have calcium lactate crystals on them even when they are sold. It is not harmful at all, but you can still cut it off it you want.
