  • What is Calcium Carbonate Powder?
    Calcium Carbonate is the carbonic salt of calcium, with the formula CaCO3. 
  • Is this product BSE/TSE Free?
    Yes, this product is BSE & TSE free. BSE & TSE are diseases from the animal source which are dangerous for the body. 
  • What is the moisture content in Calcium Carbonate Powder which you provide?
    We provide Calcium Carbonate Powder with a moisture content of NMT 10%. The moisture content of the product facilitates the growth of microorganisms in the product, which in turn increases the risk of biological hazards. Moisture content NMT 10% in our product ensures better control of microbial growth and, in turn, increased shelf life. 
  • Is calcium carbonate is also known as baking soda?
    No, calcium carbonate is known as chalk or limestone, baking soda is known as sodium bicarbonate. 
  • What are heavy metals considered for qualifying this calcium carbonate Powder? Why?
    We test total heavy metals, lead, arsenic, mercury, and cadmium in our products. These heavy metals to numerous studies are purported to be toxic for human consumption beyond certain limits and are known carcinogens. We also ensure that our product complies with California prop 65 regulations for lead content below 0.5 ppm levels. 
  • Does this product remain stable across its shelf life?
    Yes, if it is packed and stored properly, then this product will remain stable across its shelf life.
