What does it do?

Anhydrous dicalcium phosphate is an inorganic compound formed by the combination of calcium and phosphate, primarily used in pharmaceuticals for calcium supplementation. It helps maintain bone health by supplementing when deficient, as a constituent of bones and teeth.

In the body, anhydrous dicalcium phosphate provides calcium ions that contribute to the formation and maintenance of bone tissue. Calcium plays a crucial role in strengthening bones and is also important for nerve and muscle function.
