·       Calcium-enriched beverages – Easily dissolves in liquids without affecting the taste, making it great for calcium-fortified drinks.
How to Use Calcium Lactate: Dosage & Applications
·       As a Dietary Supplement: Take 500-1000mg daily with food.
·       For Food & Beverages: Add 1-2% by weight in recipes requiring fortification.
·       For Molecular Gastronomy: Mix 4-5g per liter of liquid for perfect spheres.
Tip: When using for spherification, combine with sodium alginate to create stable, soft spheres.
