calcium phosphate

Skelite key ingredient

Calcium phosphate is a family of chemical compounds containing calcium and phosphate ions, found naturally in bones and teeth and essential for their hardness and structure.

These compounds appear in various forms used in fertilizers, food additives, dental products, and dietary supplements.

In medicine, calcium phosphate serves as a bone graft material and appears in some kidney stones.

The supplement contains calcium phosphate for bone health.
