Product Description
Calcium carbonate is one of the most versatile substances, used in medicine, agriculture, industry, construction and other environmental issues.
Calcium carbonate powder bulk is used as a dietary supplement when the amount of calcium consumed in the diet is not sufficient. The body needs calcium to maintain healthy bones, muscles, nervous system and heart. Calcium carbonate is also used as an antacid to relieve heartburn, acid indigestion and stomach discomfort.
It is used as a phosphate binding agent for the treatment of hyperphosphatemia (mainly in patients with chronic renal failure). It is also used in the pharmaceutical industry as an inert filler for tablets and other drugs.
In patients with IBS, calcium carbonate helps to reduce diarrhea.
Used in the production of toothpaste, calcium carbonate has seen a resurgence in popularity as a food preservative and color retainer when used with or in conjunction with products such as organic apples or food products.
Excessive calcium intake can lead to hypercalcemia, the complications of which include vomiting, abdominal pain and altered mental status.
An important use of calcium carbonate is in the construction industry. It has been used as a building material since ancient times due to its abundant and extensive properties.
Calcium carbonate is also used in other industries such as paint, plastics, rubber, ceramics, cement, glass, steel, oil refining, iron ore purification and biotite making for marine life mariculture. It is used as a pH correction compound in blackboard chalk and swimming pools. Calcium carbonate is the most preferred mineral in the paper industry, used for filling and coating paper. It helps to produce the best quality printing paper.
Because calcium powder bulk is essential for healthy bones and teeth, calcium carbonate is used as a dietary calcium supplement. Calcium carbonate supplements are effective in treating certain diseases related to calcium deficiency, such as osteoporosis and acidity problems. Calcium supplements made from calcium carbonate are prescribed in various doses depending on the needs of the patient. Calcium carbonate is used in homeopathy.
Calcium powder bulk is the main component of garden lime (also known as agricultural lime) and is used to neutralize soil. Acidic soils can be treated with garden lime to improve soil quality. Garden lime added to the soil acts as a source of calcium for plants and increases the pH value and water retention capacity of acidic soils.
It is used in drinking water treatment, flue gas desulfurization and wastewater treatment. Water bodies affected by acid rain can be neutralized with calcium carbonate.
