What does it do?

Lactate Calcium Hydrate is a form of calcium salt formed by the combination of calcium ions and lactate. It is primarily used in pharmaceuticals to supplement calcium deficiency and helps maintain bone and dental health. As a type of calcium preparation, its purpose is to normalize calcium levels in the body.

In the body, Lactate Calcium Hydrate releases calcium ions, increasing serum calcium levels. Calcium is a major component of bones and teeth, and a deficiency can lead to decreased bone density. By supplementing it, it helps maintain strong bones and contributes to the prevention of osteoporosis.
