Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Zinc Citrate is specified according to the latest edition of the USP.Zinc citrate is available as dihydrate and trihydrate and is produced by complete neutralization of citric acid with a high purity zinc source, subsequent precipitation and dehydration. Zinc citrate is mainly used in dental care products such as toothpastes, mouthwashes and chewing gums due to its antimicrobial and anti-inflammatory effects and its ability to reduce or inhibit the formation of dental plaque and tartar. In pharmaceuticals, zinc citrate fights common colds. Zinc is increasingly used in food supplements, functional foods and beverages. As an organic mineral source it is preferred in many applications over inorganic sources because of its superior bioavailability, physiological compatibility and nearly neutral taste compared to other zinc salts. Among the organic zinc salts zinc citrate has one of the highest zinc content (31%). Zinc citrate is supplied as a white to almost white powder. It is practically odorless, slightly soluble in water, soluble in diluted acid and practically insoluble in ethanol (96%). Zinc citrate has an inverse solubility.

Jungbunzlauer Suisse AG Calcium Lactate Gluconate meets the requirements for calcium lactate and calcium gluconate of the US Pharmacopeia (USP), the Food Chemicals Codex (FCC) and the Commission Regulation (EU) No. 231/2012, always in their latest version.Besides calcium lactate gluconate 13 with a calcium content of 13%, Jungbunzlauer also supplies calcium lactate gluconate with similar properties and 10% calcium (type CLG 10).Calcium lactate gluconate (CLG) is a mixture of calcium lactate and calcium gluconate. In pharmaceuticals, it is widely used as a pharmaceutical calcium source with excellent bioavailability. In food and beverages, the outstanding characteristics of calcium lactate gluconate combining high solubility and neutral taste lead to new applications in a wide range of premium products. Calcium lactate gluconate is a white, crystalline, odorless, tasteless powder. It is non-toxic and has physiologically excellent compatibility. Calcium lactate gluconate displays high bioavailability, neutral taste and is highly soluble. It is used as a premium calcium source in pharmaceuticals. Scientific reviews of human studies revealed that calcium lactate gluconate was both significantly and more consistently able to increase bone mineral density than other calcium salts. In food, it is particularly found in beverages and other applications where solubility is a sensitive matter, e.g. clear beverages and concentrated or instant preparations as well as for processing at low temperatures and in line blending. Calcium lactate gluconate shows the highest solubility among the calcium salts commonly used for mineral enrichment, with a initial solubility of 20-40%.
