When it comes to calcium carbonate for dietary supplements, two factors matter most: texture and purity. HuberCal® Elite gives you both.
Exceptional Texture
Nine out of ten new food products fail for one reason: Failure to integrate sensory data in product testing! Huber Health & Nutrition is aware of the importance of textrue. That's why we comissioned an independent lab to perform a comparative sensory analysis of competing calcium carbonate products in a generic chewable tablet formulation. The results proved our superior sensory performance. (Source: Nutrition Business Journal, Volume VII, May/June 2002). This combined with its superior purity is why formulators of antacids have come to rely on HuberCal as their trusted source of calcium carbonate.
Exceptional Purity
As you develop and manufacture products, the last thing you need to worry about is the quality and performance of your calcium carbonate. HuberCal, from Huber Engineered Materials, is the calcium carbonate you can count on to meet and exceed regulatory requirements. Every time.
Naturally mined HuberCal® calcium carbonate has set the standard for purity throughout the food, pharmaceutical and nutrition industries since its introduction to the market in 2000. The superior purity and performance of HuberCal calcium carbonates distinguish them from competitive natural or precipitated products. With ultra-pure HuberCal calcium carbonates, you can formulate a better product and make legitimate natural and organic claims. HuberCal calcium carbonate provides an overall better value as a source of calcium for dietary supplements. For manufacturers of calcium salts other than calcium carbonate, HuberCal naturally mined calcium carbonate offers a high-purity raw material.HuberCal products are low in lead and meet California Proposition 65. That’s good news for dietary supplement makers. The versatility of HuberCal products enable you to introduce new products or extend existing product lines using naturally mined as well as oyster shell calcium carbonate as a source. So our versatility becomes your versatility.
