Calcium Polyphosphate is typically available as an over the counter supplement, antacid, or as an added ingredient in some toothpastes.

Calcium Polyphosphate is available as an option for calcium supplements, along with calcium carbonate and calcium citrate. 
There are also many different typese of Calcium Polyphosphate. 
The largest Calcium Polyphosphate source in the body exists as hydroxyapatite (HAP), which is an important structural component of bones and teeth.

Calcium Polyphosphate is used as an antacid and dietary supplement in veterinary medicine.
Calcium Polyphosphate is used in medicine as calcium replenisher.
Calcium Polyphosphate is used as a buffer in food.

Calcium Polyphosphate is also present in the circulatory system and tissues, while phosphorus is also an important component of DNA and protein. 
These minerals have essential roles in bone, muscle, blood, and nerve health.

Calcium Polyphosphate also has many uses outside the body, as it is a component in many products, including:

-over-the-counter supplements

-antacids

-toothpaste

-bone graft substitutes

-fragrances

-anti-caking agents

-fertilizers

BENEFITS:
As such, supplementation may be useful for people who have certain health conditions, including:
-Hypocalcemia: A deficiency of calcium in the blood.
-Osteoporosis: This condition develops due to a decrease in bone mineral density and bone mass. 
-Hypoparathyroidism: This rare condition results from the body not producing or releasing adequate parathyroid hormone (PTH). 
PTH is responsible for maintaining normal levels of calcium and phosphorus in the blood.
-Vitamin D deficiency: Vitamin D helps absorb calcium in the gut. 
If a person is vitamin D deficient, they may also be calcium deficient.

SOURCES:
*dairy products, such as milk, yogurt, and cheese
*fish, such as sardines and salmon
*green leafy vegetables, such as kale, broccoli, and watercress
*calcium-fortified foods, such as cereals, juices, and milk alternatives
*tofu
*nuts and seeds, such as almonds, sesame, and chia

Th term Calcium Polyphosphate refers to a family of materials and minerals containing calcium ions (Ca2+) together with inorganic phosphate anions. 
Some so-called Calcium Polyphosphates contain oxide and hydroxide as well. 
Calcium Polyphosphates are white solids of nutritious value and are found in many living organisms, e.g., bone mineral and tooth enamel.
In milk, it exists in a colloidal form in micelles bound to casein protein with magnesium, zinc, and citrate–collectively referred to as colloidal Calcium Polyphosphate (CCP).
Various Calcium Polyphosphate minerals are used in the production of phosphoric acid and fertilizers. 
Overuse of certain forms of Calcium Polyphosphate can lead to nutrient-containing surface runoff and subsequent adverse effects upon receiving waters such as algal blooms and eutrophication (over-enrichment with nutrients and minerals).

Calcium Polyphosphate is most often used to treat calcium deficiencies in your diet. 
However, there are several things you need to know before adding this supplement to your daily regimen. 

Calcium Polyphosphate is an important mineral found naturally in food. 
Calcium Polyphosphate aids in healthy bone development and is crucial from infancy to adulthood. 
But, calcium does more than build strong bones. 

Calcium Polyphosphate’s also very important for healthy digestion. 
Calcium aids in bile acid metabolism, excretion of fatty acid, and healthy gut microbiota.

Occurrence:
Calcium Polyphosphate is one of the main combustion products of bone (see bone ash). 
Calcium Polyphosphate is also commonly derived from inorganic sources such as mineral rock.
Calcium Polyphosphate occurs naturally in several forms, including:

-as a rock in Morocco, Israel, Philippines, Egypt, and Kola (Russia) and in smaller quantities in some other countries. 
The natural form is not completely pure, and there are some other components like sand and lime which can change the composition. 
In terms of P2O5, most Calcium Polyphosphate rocks have a content of 30% to 40% P2O5 in weight.
-in the skeletons and teeth of vertebrate animals
-in milk.

USES:
*Food additive
Calcium Polyphosphate is used in powdered spices as an anticaking agent, e.g. to prevent table salt from caking. 
The Calcium Polyphosphates have been assigned European food additive number E341.

*Health and beauty products
Calcium Polyphosphate is also found in baby powder, antacids and toothpaste.

*Biomedical
Calcium Polyphosphate is also used as a nutritional supplement and occurs naturally in cow milk, although the most common and economical forms for supplementation are calcium carbonate (which should be taken with food) and calcium citrate (which can be taken without food).
There is some debate about the different bioavailabilities of the different calcium salts.

Calcium Polyphosphate can be used as a tissue replacement for repairing bony defects when autogenous bone graft is not feasible or possible.
Calcium Polyphosphate may be used alone or in combination with a biodegradable, resorbable polymer such as polyglycolic acid.

Calcium Polyphosphate may also be combined with autologous materials for a bone graft.
Porous beta-Calcium Polyphosphate scaffolds are employed as drug carrier systems for local drug delivery in bone

Calcium Polyphosphates are widely used as restorative and substitution materials in dentistry, orthopedics and surgery because Calcium Polyphosphate salt hydroxyapatite (HA) is the main mineral of the human’s bones and teeth. 
The most popular for medicine becomes the Calcium Polyphosphate bioceramics. 
Calcium Polyphosphate is often used for producing of such kinds of materials. 

Calcium Polyphosphate is a family of compounds which contain calcium and phosphate groups. 
Different variations are used as flour additives, acidulants, dough conditioners, anticaking, buffering and leavening agents as well as yeast nutrients and nutritional supplements.

FUNCTIONS:
As an odorless powder, this ingredient serves several functions in baked goods:

-Anticaking and moisture control agent: prevents powder caking, lumping or agglomeration.
-Dough strengthener: modifies starch and gluten to provide a more stable dough.
-Firming agent: prevents the collapse during processing.
-Flour bleaching treatment
-Leavening aid: provides food for yeast.
-Nutrient supplement: provides calcium for nutritional value.
-Stabilizer and thickener: provides body and improved consistency.
-Texturizer: improves baked good texture.
-pH regulator: works as a pH buffer and processing aid.
-Acidulant: acts as an acid in leavening with sodium bicarbonate.
-Sequestrant of minerals that may catalyze lipid oxidation.
-Antioxidant synergist: enhances calcium propionate effect.
-Coloring adjunct: aids in the preservation of color in coatings.

Calcium Polyphosphate is insoluble in ethanol, acetic acid but soluble in dilute nitric acid and hydrochloric acid. 

Calcium Polyphosphate slightly dissolves in water. 
Calcium Polyphosphate is found in bones, milk, teeth, and ground.
Calcium Polyphosphate reacts with water to form phosphane and calcium hydroxide

What are the benefits of Calcium Polyphosphate?
Calcium Polyphosphate can be used to treat disorders caused by low levels of calcium such as bone loss (osteoporosis), weak bones (osteomalacia / rickets), reduced parathyroid gland function (hypoparathyroidism), and some muscle disease (latent tetanus).

What is Calcium Polyphosphate used for?
Calcium Polyphosphate is important for many normal body functions, especially bone formation and maintenance. 
Also, Calcium Polyphosphate can bind to other minerals (such as phosphate), and help remove them from the body. 
Calcium Polyphosphate is used to avoid calcium shortages, and to treat them.
