Calcium fortification & supplements
Our calcium carbonates are ideal for calcium fortification of foods and dietary supplements.
Premium quality calcium additives for food and supplements
We offer food-grade Precipitated Calcium Carbonates (PCC) as an excellent source of calcium for food fortification and dietary supplements.
Our I-Blūm PCC grades are added-value solutions for enhancing the calcium content of fortified foods and beverages such as:
- Yogurt
- Meal replacement bars and drinks
- Bakery snacks
- Dairy-based and plant-based beverages
- Powdered beverage mixes
Our I-Blūm™ range of high-purity precipitated calcium carbonate food additive grades are sustainably sourced from high-quality minerals from our own mines and processed at our facilities according to Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP).
