Our Products
Caltron is the leading manufacturer of Algae Calcium Powder in India marketed by the brand name AL-CAL. Caltron has developed this specific grade with intention of competing globally with the best available calcium sources in the world. Caltron's Algae Calcium Powder is manufactured using best available algae plants. Keeping thorough checks at every stage of production from raw material procurement till material leaves our plant. We provide most authentic Algae calcium Powder in the country. Our Algae calcium is a mild greenish in colour having other plant nutrients like magnesium, crude protein, carbohydrates.
Owing to our deep expertise and knowledge in the pharma field for more than 2 decades and our continuous R&D we have developed this Algae Calcium Powder in India.
Derived from the pristine waters of Philippines, our product is produced using best algae . We have 2 grades of algae calcium (Lithothamnion & Chlorophyta). Both have their unique characteristics and advantages
The Calcium derived from Litahothamnion Calcareum sea- species gets calcified and are washed away upto the shore. It is this calcified remains that we use to extract the purest form of calcium powder.
The calcium derived from Chlorophyta Calcareum contains a decent amount of crude protein. The chlorophyll content available in the powder gets activated on contact with water there by turning into greyish-green colour. Apart from the protein content, calcium derived from chlorophyta calcareum also contains 74 trace minerals. The availability of these species are rare as compared to other species of algae sea-.
It is naturally derived yet vegetarian (Approved by VEGAN AUTHORITY )
Owing to its natural characteristics of being highly fibrous, which helps in proper absorption of Calcium by the body. Unlike other synthetic sources of calcium which results in kidney stones if consumed for a prolonged period of time. Our Algae Calcium becomes bio-available in the body for maximum absorption.
It also has other plant nutrients like Magnesium, Crude Protein, Carbohydrates, Energy etc. for better efficiency along with Calcium.
Caltron's oyster shell calcium carbonate is marketed under their brand name OY-CAL. Caltron is one of the reputed manufacturers of Oyster Shell Calcium Carbonate. We offer the most authentic and purest form of oyster shell calcium powder. The shells procured by us undergo stringent quality checks and proper processing to make it highly acceptable in the Healthcare Industry. We are also one of the largest exporter of oyster shell calcium carbonate powder in India. The Oyster shells that we use in making of our oyster shell calcium carbonate powder are considered the best quality and we try to maintain our quality standards without compromising on anything. We can cater to huge quantity demands by domestic and International markets.
Our Oyster Shell Calcium Carbonate Powder is ideal for making Tablets, Capsules, Suspensions, Soft Gelatine Capsules, Chewable Tablets and many other forms in Pharmaceutical, Food, Nutraceutical and Cosmetic Industry. Calcium is one of the most important and demanded mineral by the body. With the passage of time, companies have switched over to natural forms of calcium. Gone are the days, when most of the calcium based supplements were prepared by using rock based calcium carbonate which has now turned absolute & prolonged use of which could lead to kidney stones.
Oyster Shells are derived from marine source, which naturally consists of Calcium, Magnesium, Silica which are essentially required by the body. Our specially designed purification process restricts most of the impurity from entering the final product.
Calcium Carbonate powder derived from Oysto Teratta species are considered the best quality. These species are highly fiborous in nature. The powder derived from Oysto Teratta has a flaky texture, apart from calcium, it also contains magnesium of about 1.5%. These shells are very fragile and clean. The availability of these shells is limited, however we have contracted number of excavation teams all around the globe to get us the best quality & un-interrupted supplies throughout the year.
This is an another specie of oyster shell calcium which is available in abundance. The assay as CaCO3 is less as compared to Oysto Teratta, however this is a cheaper substitute to Oysto Teratta.
Caltron's Coral Calcium Powder (MARIN-CAL) is manufactured by using dead coral reefs found on the seashore. Caltron's Coral grade is having assay as CaCO3 of 99.5% and its non-synthetic nature helps in easy absorption by the body. The material is free from any foreign particles and impurities as it undergoes extensive quality checks and benefication process to bring it to acceptable range for human consumption.
Harvested solely from the most select above ground resources in Japan, Coral Calcium is an outstanding and cost effective alternative to more expensive mass-market brands. This exceptional complex of fossilized coral calcium is naturally enriched with an abundance of trace minerals that allow for effortless absorption and optimal utilization. Extreme care is used when processing this nutrient rich macro-mineral to assure ideal calcium content, low heavy metal ratios, and zero irradiation/radioactivity.
Coral is created by a small tiny creature by ingesting ionic ocean minerals and secreting them into a coral formation, eventually producing a coral reef. These ionic ocean coral reefs contains 74 organic minerals which are harvested from above sea coral deposits and crushed into an ultra-fine powder. The natural balance of all these 74 minerals is important necessary as, each mineral works hand in hand with other minerals to respectively perform their numerous functions. Coral has a natural ability of getting ionised when it comes in contact with moisture. This ability combined with full spectrum of trace minerals present, makes Coral highly & easily absorbable form of Calcium, which is liked & demanded by many Pharma Giants throughout the world.
It is this fiborous nature and Bio-availability that makes CORAL CALCIUM, the undisputed king of calcium source.
Calcium Carbonate Dc grade (Directly Compressible): -Caltrons Calcium Carbonate DC Grade is manufactured at their state of the art manufacturing facility having all the latest machineries in place. The DC grade has got high purity of CaCO3 99% and above. The material is manufactured under stringent quality controls to make it fit for pharmaceutical industries. Our DC grade reduces time of production and is much more convenient and is produced as per the customers requirement.

Following are the Main Specifications of Contents For CALTRONS Microcrystalline Hydroxyapatite
Complex :-
* Molecular Formula of MCHC : 3Ca3(PO4)2 Ca(OH)2
MCHC is a complex biological calcium salt manufactured under process designed to ensure that the components retain the natural form and physiological proportions. Caltrons MCHC is the only nutritional substance, which is clinically proven to stop bone loss and even restore lost bone density and helps relieve pain accompanying Osteoporosis. Caltrons MCHC Powder is composed of an organic mineral protein; collagen and the inorganic mineral hydroxyapatite together with broad range of trace minerals. The Microcrystaline structure of Caltrons MCHC Powder, contributes to improved Calcium Absorption as it provides a large surface area from which the mineral in the organic metrics can be released in the intestine.
* Collagen : Around 30% of bone is composed of organic mineral, which 90-95% is collagen and the rest being non-collageous protein. Collagen is a fibrous protein, which provides bone strength and flexibility.
* Hydroxy Apatite : Caltrons MCHC Powder contains more that 50% Hydroxy Apatite. Hydroxy apatite is a combination of Calcium and Phosphorus bound together in a physiological ratio 2:1 in a special matrix structure. X-ray diffraction studies have confirmed the presence of Hydroxy apatite and the micro-crystalline nature of the salt.
BARISOL is chemically synthetic Barium Sulphate with surface modified. Its snow white colour imparts excellent shade and brightness to the end product. Ultra fine Barium Sulphate particles of BARISOL (BARIUM SULPHATE) OR BLANC FIXE act as a spacer for prime pigments and hence contribute to the hiding with very high gloss in end application.
