All living systems require an optimal balance of essential minerals like Ca, Fe, Zn, Mg, P, K, Na, Mn, Cu, Mo, etc., to maintain their vital processes in good condition. These essential minerals play a crucial role in regulating and maintaining normal blood pressure, electrolyte balance, bone health, development of new cells, oxygen delivery to cells, natural muscle, and nerve functioning. Chronic deficiencies of one or more of these minerals may lead to adverse health conditions.

Although various nutrient supplements are available in the market choosing the right product in the right sector is the major critical task. Presently, mineral salts of ‘Lacto-Gluconates’ are gaining importance due to being readily soluble and absolutely (100%) bio-available in nature.

These mineral salts of ‘Lacto-Gluconates’ are major targets of pharmaceutical, food, feed, beverages, and nutraceutical industries with high profit as well as functional applications.

  • Calcium Lacto Gluconate

    • Specifications

      Calcium Lacto gluconate is referred to as Calcium Lactate Gluconate with a chemical formula of C9H16CaO10. It is a combination of Calcium salts of “Lactic acid and gluconic acids”. Calcium Lactate Gluconate is a white/semi white crystalline powder with a bulk density less than 0.30 and the molecular weight is 324.30g/ mol and highly soluble in nature, neural to taste and odorless.

      Applications

      Calcium is one of the important minerals in life processes. It has a vital role in bones and teeth health, heart rhythm, blood clotting, as well as in muscle function. With these multiple functional roles in life, Calcium is one of the best-selling supplements. Choosing a right supplement is a confusing task in the scenario of availability of wide range of combinations and preparations. On an average in adults (age group of 19 to 70+) 1000 mg - 1200 mg/day of Calcium is required as per the Dietary Reference Intake.

      Calcium Lacto Gluconate has around 13% of elemental Calcium in a readily absorbable form. It is a well applicable product in sectors like pharmaceuticals, food, feed, beverages, and nutraceuticals.

      Calcium Lacto Gluconate was well reported to increase the bone density in human studies in comparison to many other available Calcium supplements significantly and consistently.

      Iron is the major element involved in oxygen transport in the body. Around 70% of the body iron is available in RBC cells. Other functions like the generation of ATP in cellular respiration, proper immune system development, and maintaining cognitive functions of the brain are dependent on iron levels.

      • Highly soluble in nature
      • very low taste profile

It has zinc lactate (C6H10O6Zn) and zinc gluconate (C12H22ZnO14) with molecular weights 243.52 g/mol and 414.60 g/mol respectively. Zinc is an important mineral in protein synthesizing enzymes, wound healing, fetal development, proper growth, and reproduction. It has a vital role in the antioxidant system of the body. Zinclacto gluconate is an easily soluble source of zinc that can meet the above requirements as per recommendation.

      • To supplement the Zinc deficiencies

  • Magnesium Lacto Gluconate

    • It has magnesium lactate (C6H10MgO6) and magnesium gluconate (C12H22MgO14) with molecular weights 202.45 g/mol and 414.60 g/mol respectively.  It is the critical mineral involved in the blood pressure maintenance, bone strength, and for a steady heart rhythm. 

      Even though various magnesium supplements are available, Magnesium Lacto gluconate is the highly soluble form in all of them. Low magnesium levels in the body lead to various critical conditions like osteoporosis, heart problems, diabetes, inflammations etc. On an average 310- 420 mg/ day of magnesium is required for proper regulation of all above functions.

      Most of the magnesium provided in the feed to animals is not absorbed by their digestive system due to the formation of less soluble magnesium compounds. However, the Magnesium Lacto gluconate with high bio-available magnesium can be a perfect product to treat all these conditions.

      • To supplement the Magnesium deficiencies
      • To control blood pressure
      • To treat Pre-Eclampsia (a condition in a pregnant woman with high blood pressure; legs as well as feet swellings; Proteinuria or other organ dysfunction)
      • To control the asthma attack
      • To increase the digestion capacity of feed in cows.
      • Application in Pharma, Nutraceuticals & Feed sectors
  • Potassium Lacto Gluconate

    • It has potassium lactate (C3H5KO3) and potassium gluconate (C6H11KO7) with molecular weights 128.17 g/mol and 243.25 g/mol respectively. Potassium is essential for proper kidney function in the body. It is not produced by the body and about 1600 to 2000 mg per day of potassium is required for an adult to perform regular functions properly. 

      Hypokalemia develops when potassium deficiency occurs in conditions like diarrhoea, vomiting, kidney problems, and on antibiotics use. Potassium Lactate Gluconate with high solubility can immediately meet these conditions for the required amount of potassium. To supplement the potassium deficiencies

      Low sodium levels develop hyponatremia condition with symptoms like muscle cramps, headache, restlessness, nausea, fatigue, confusion, hallucinations, decreased consciousness, and coma. Therefore balanced levels of sodium are mandatory for life processes. All feed supplements need to be balanced with sodium addition for making a complete diet.

      In chronic diarrhea, Crohn’s disease and GIT surgery, antiacid treatment conditions result in decreased absorption of copper and increase the risk of developing a copper deficiency. In these situations, high bio-available copper is in must need even though the copper requirement is in traces for healthily individuals. Copper Deficiency in cattle leads to poor growth, loss in milk production, anemia, nervous disease symptoms, and low immune efficiency. Copper Lacto gluconate can be used for following

      • Treatment of copper deficiency along with the anemia condition developed by the low Cu levels.
      • To treat hypocupremia, Pancytopenia (a condition with low RBC, WBC, and platelet count due to low copper availability) and Ataxia (loss control on body movements).
      • Applications in Pharmaceuticals & Feed Industry.
