Technical / functional information
Calcium citrate, calcium gluconate and calcium L-threonate carry different amounts of elemental calcium per kilogram, and that is the first number a formulation has to work with.
Solubility separates them further: calcium citrate is practically insoluble in water, calcium gluconate dissolves freely, and the choice affects how the material behaves in tablets, effervescents and liquids.
Compare them on elemental content, solubility, appearance and particle size, then confirm the specification and the documents for the grade you need. The material supplied is tested against the agreed specification, not against the product name.
Documents
The specification, a representative COA, a TDS and a SDS are sent on request, from the first enquiry. The batch COA, the stability report and the raw test data follow once the product and the batch are fixed.
A COA reports the results of the tests it covers, for the product or the batch it names. It does not by itself confirm the molecular structure of the ingredient or a chelated state.
