DC Calcium Carbonate Powders

Our directly compressible (DC) calcium carbonate products flow as smooth as milk, allowing you to develop chewable tablets with optimal mouthfeel or easy-to-swallow tablets.

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, is a very reactive antacid active which is often used in combination with magnesium compounds. It has a crystalline structure and buffering properties. 

Our pre-formulated, calcium carbonate products are ready for direct compression with excellent flowability, ensuring good tableting and saving you time and money.
