High-purity minerals for cleaner pharmaceuticals 

Consumers and regulators alike are increasingly concerned with the levels of lead and other heavy metals found in pharmaceutical applications. In the case of antacid tablets, the HuberCal® product family helps formulators to address this concern. HuberCal® calcium carbonate is lower in lead, mercury and arsenic content than competitive calcium carbonate products. The HuberCal Elite product specifications confirm confidence in an industry low lead level of below 0.12 (µg/g) – significantly lower than competitive products. 

For hemodialysis patients and providers, sodium bicarbonate from Natrium Products can help to lower acid levels in the body, help restore pH balance and potentially slow the progression of chronic kidney disease. Natrium Products—part of Huber Specialty Minerals—delivers high-purity and quality, with ideal granulation sizes for this highly specialized application. 

Integrate calcium into vitamins and supplements 

A trusted source for both branded products and national brand equivalents, HuberCal® calcium carbonate FCC, USP and Elite granulation grades are used in multi-vitamins and calcium supplements. These grades are engineered to exact specifications and great care is taken to ensure you get a product you can count on for superior purity, performance, consistency and quality.
