calcium fructoborate vs. calcium
Calcium Fructoborate and Calcium are compounds that serve different purposes in the body. While Calcium is an essential mineral that supports bone and muscle health, Calcium Fructoborate is a salt that contains boron, fructose, and calcium and has additional benefits such as supporting cardiovascular health and having anti-inflammatory activity. Their chemical composition and molecular formula can distinguish them.
| Characteristic | Calcium Fructoborate | Calcium |
|---|---|---|
| CAS Number | 307002-73-9 | 7440-70-2 |
| Molecular Formula | C12H20B2CaO18 | Ca |
| Main Benefits | – Promotes bone health
– Supports cardiovascular health |
– Essential for strong bones and teeth
– Supports muscle function – Necessary for nerve function |
Calcium Fructoborate Safety
According to the European Food Safety Authority (EFSA), calcium fructoborate is safe pursuant to Regulation (EU) 2015/2283 under proposed uses and use levels. This endorsement from a reputable organization offers confidence in the safety profile of this compound.
Calcium Fructoborate Manufacturing Process
Cima Science’s manufacturing facility follows strict guidelines to ensure the safety of its products. They are certified to meet the BRC Global Standard for Food Safety, which guarantees they use good manufacturing practices and implement a Hazard Analysis and Critical Control Point program (BRC, 2018).
To produce Calcium Fructoborate, fructose, and boric acid are mixed in water and heated to create a bis(fructose) ester of boric acid. Calcium carbonate is added to the solution, resulting in the calcium salt of fructoborate (tetrahydrate). The solution is then freeze-dried, ground into a fine powder, and packaged for storage. This process ensures that the final product is of the highest quality and purity.
