calcium lactate pentahydrate

Calcium lactate pentahydrate is a calcium salt of lactic acid, specifically the pentahydrate form, utilized primarily as a mineral supplement to treat or prevent calcium deficiency (hypocalcemia). As a small molecule pharmaceutical, it serves as a source of calcium ions ($Ca^{2+}$), which are vital for maintaining bone integrity, facilitating neurotransmission, supporting muscle contraction, and enabling blood coagulation. Developed and manufactured by Remedica, it is typically administered orally and is indicated for conditions where dietary calcium intake is insufficient or where physiological demands for calcium are increased, such as osteoporosis or during pregnancy and lactation.
