Omya Calcipur® meets USP, FCC and E170 purity requirements and provides excellent stability. Containing approximately 40% calcium, the ingredient boosts calcium content of the end product, with appropriate support for the nutritional requirements of babies and toddlers.

The company’s Omya Calcipur® line of calcium carbonate particles provides multiple ways of boosting both nutritional value and ease of processing in a broad variety of finished products. 

One of these prototypes is “Omyafit,” an instant drink in sachet portion packaging. It combines several speciality ingredients from the exclusive distribution portfolio with Omya Calcipur®, one of the most concentrated and therefore highly efficient sources of calcium fortification. 

Calcium enrichment of foods and beverages is an ongoing trend, which is bolstered by the world’s aging population and consumers looking to avoid health problems associated with calcium deficiency.

“Nutrients of concern” are nutrients that are typically either over-consumed or under-consumed, based on the Recommended Dietary Allowance (RDA), which provides either the minimum level or the maximum level of consumption required to prevent detrimental effects on health.

With aches and pains on the rise, many Americans are looking to incorporate inexpensive and accessible ingredients into their diets that may alleviate some of these problems or prevent these pains from starting at all.
