Calcium gluconate
English Name: Calcium gluconate
CAS No.: 299-28-5
Molecular formula: C12H22CaO14
Molecular weight: 430.37
EINECS No.: 206-075-8
Chemical properties: This product is a white granular powder, odorless and tasteless. It is easy to dissolve in boiling water, slowly dissolve in normal temperature water, and insoluble in organic solvents such as absolute ethanol, chloroform or ether. Calcium gluconate can reduce capillary permeability, increase density, maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, strengthen myocardial contractility, and contribute to bone formation. Its anti allergic effect is because calcium ion can increase the density of capillaries, reduce their permeability and reduce exudation, so as to reduce or alleviate allergic symptoms. Calcium gluconate tablets are white tablets containing calcium gluconate; Calcium gluconate buccal tablets are white or colored tablets of calcium gluconate, fragrant and sweet; Calcium gluconate injection is a sterile aqueous solution of calcium gluconate, which is a colorless and clear liquid.
Uses: calcium gluconate as a food calcium fortifier, the absorption effect is better than inorganic calcium. As a drug, it can reduce capillary permeability, increase density, maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, strengthen myocardial contractility, and help bone formation.
It should be used as calcium fortifier, nutrient, buffer, solidifying agent and chelating agent in food.
