Phosphate de calcium

Calcium phosphate is a mineral salt naturally present in the body, particularly in bones and teeth, where it forms the main structural component. It is also found in certain foods such as dairy products, legumes and fish with edible bones, and is synthetically produced for use in food supplementation, where it ranks among the most widely used forms of calcium. As a combined source of calcium and phosphorus, two essential minerals, calcium phosphate contributes to the maintenance of normal bones and teeth. Calcium also plays a role in muscle contraction, nerve signal transmission and blood clotting, while phosphorus is involved in cellular energy metabolism. Supplementation with calcium phosphate may be of interest to people whose dietary calcium intake is insufficient, particularly those following a diet low in dairy products, or those with increased needs related to age or specific life stages. Its good digestive tolerance and high mineral density make it a commonly used form in micronutrition formulas.
