Calcium lactate gluconate also known as GLOCAL is a soluble salt often used in effervescent calcium tablets. Its chemical formula is Ca5(C3H5O3)6.(C6H11O7)4.2H2O. It was first developed by Sandoz, Switzerland. Calcium lactate gluconate is currently a premium salt in the rapidly growing functional and fortified food industry due to its excellent solubility and neutral taste. Calcium lactate gluconate can be used to help neutralize HF (hydrofluoric acid) poisoning.
