Calcium Gluconate is commonly used as an adjuvant drug. As a drug, it can reduce capillary permeability, increase density, maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, strengthen myocardial contractility, and help bone formation. Suitable for allergic diseases, such as urticaria; Eczema; Itching of the skin; Contact dermatitis, and serum diseases; Angioneurotic edema as adjunctive therapy. It is also suitable for convulsions and magnesium poisoning caused by low blood calcium. It is also used to prevent and treat calcium deficiency. As food additives, used as buffering agent; Curing agent; Chelating agent; Nutrient supplement.
1. Make soybean flowers, is to put calcium gluconate powder into soybean milk to make, soybean milk will become semi-liquid semi-solid soybean flowers, sometimes also called hot tofu.
2. As a drug, it can reduce capillary permeability, increase density, maintain normal excitability of nerves and muscles, strengthen myocardial contractility, and help bone formation. Suitable for allergic diseases, such as urticaria; Eczema; Pruritus; Contact dermatitis and serum diseases; Angioneurotic edema as adjunctive therapy. It is also suitable for convulsions and magnesium poisoning caused by low blood calcium. It is also used to prevent and treat calcium deficiency.
3. As food additives, used as buffering agent; Curing agent; Chelating agent; Nutrient supplement. According to the "Hygienic Standards for the Use of Food fortifier" promulgated by the Ministry of Health (1993), it can be used in cereals and their products and beverages with the dosage of 18-38 grams and kilograms.
4. Used as calcium fortifying agent, buffering agent, curing agent, chelating agent.
