Manufactured by: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. (WHO-GMP Certified)

1. Product Introduction

Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd. is a specialized Manufacturer of Calcium Gluconate Tablets in India. This formulation is a widely used Mineral Supplement designed to treat or prevent low blood calcium levels (hypocalcemia). Calcium Gluconate is generally preferred over other calcium salts for patients with sensitive stomachs because it is less irritating to the gastric lining.

We offer Contract Manufacturing (Third Party) services for this essential nutritional supplement, available in both Swallowable and Chewable forms. Our WHO-GMP certified facility in Mumbai utilizes advanced granulation technology to produce tablets that are sufficiently hard to withstand shipping but disintegrate rapidly for optimal absorption. Healthy Inc manages the export logistics, supplying hospitals, pharmacies, and NGO nutritional programs across Africa, Southeast Asia, and Latin America.

3. Manufacturing Technology

Producing a palatable calcium supplement requires formulation expertise.

• The Manufacturer: Healthy Life Pharma Pvt. Ltd.

  • Taste Masking: Calcium salts can have a chalky texture. For our Chewable formulations, we use high-quality sweeteners and flavors (like Orange, Vanilla, or Peppermint) to improve palatability and patient compliance, especially for children and the elderly.

  • Compressibility: Calcium Gluconate is a bulky powder. We use Wet Granulation with specific binders to increase the density of the powder, allowing us to compress it into a manageable tablet size without making it too hard to chew or swallow.

• The Exporter: Healthy Inc

  • Stability: Calcium supplements can harden over time if exposed to humidity. We use moisture-barrier packaging (PVC/PVDC blisters or sealed HDPE bottles) to ensure the tablets remain fresh and effective upon arrival in global markets.

4. Quality Assurance

We adhere to strict Pharmacopoeial standards:

• Assay: We use complexometric titration to ensure the precise Elemental Calcium content matches the label claim.

• Disintegration: We strictly test that swallowable tablets break down rapidly in the stomach, while chewable tablets have the correct texture.

• Microbial Limits: As a mineral-based product, we conduct rigorous bioburden testing to ensure the product is free from pathogens like Salmonella and E. coli.

5. Why Use Calcium Gluconate?

It is a gentle effective way to boost calcium intake.

• Mechanism: It provides exogenous calcium, which is essential for the structural integrity of bones and teeth, as well as for the normal functioning of nerves, muscles, and the heart.

• Key Indications:

  • Hypocalcemia: Treatment of low calcium levels caused by hypoparathyroidism or kidney disease.

  • Osteoporosis: Prevention of bone loss in post-menopausal women and the elderly.

  • Rickets/Osteomalacia: Treatment of weak bones in children and adults.
