Calcium and Phosphorous are two very
essential minerals for a HEALTHY BODY. There is an ever
increasing demand for Calcium Phosphates due to the awareness
of its benefits. Medical professionals and Health conscious
consumers understand its nutritional value, with the major
role it plays in maintaining healthy bones and fighting
osteoporosis. Recently research in the US appears to have
shown that calcium may not be the only factor when it comes
to healthy bones – in fact, it is much more effective
when used with another nutrient, phosphorous. As phosphates
makes up more than half the mass of bone minerals, researchers
say that diet should contain appropriate quantities of phosphorus
if bones are to be built or rebuilt. A Phosphorus deficiency
is more prevalent due to change in diet (e.g. strict vegetarianism)
and weight reduction programs.
Calcium phosphates are an important excipient
used as a diluent and filler in Pharma and food industries
because of its inherent characters of compatibility with
most of the active ingredients.
