calcium gluconate
Calcium salt supplement
Calcium gluconate is a calcium salt used medically to treat calcium deficiency and conditions like hypocalcemia.
It's administered intravenously in emergencies—notably as the antidote for hydrofluoric acid burns and magnesium overdose.
The compound also appears in food products as a mineral supplement and firming agent: calcium gluconate tablets, The IV pushed calcium gluconate to stabilize her heart rhythm.
