Q1: What is the main nutritional benefit of Renze Food Grade Egg Shell Powder?
A: Its primary benefit is providing a highly bioavailable, natural source of calcium (≥35%), which is essential for maintaining bone density, dental health, and proper nerve and muscle function.
Q2: Is this product suitable for vegetarians?
A: No. As it is derived from eggs, it is not suitable for vegans or strict vegetarians. It is appropriate for ovo-vegetarians.
Q3: How does the bioavailability of eggshell calcium compare to other common sources like calcium carbonate?
A: Studies indicate that calcium from eggshell powder has bioavailability comparable to or better than purified calcium carbonate. Its natural matrix, which includes trace amounts of other minerals like magnesium and phosphorus, may enhance absorption and utilization by the body.
Q4: What are the key safety and quality assurances for this ingredient?
A: Renze Egg Shell Powder is produced under strict food-grade standards. It undergoes rigorous testing for microbiological safety (free from Salmonella, E. coli), heavy metals (lead, arsenic, cadmium, mercury), and is guaranteed to meet the specification limits for purity and composition as outlined in our Certificate of Analysis (CoA).
Q5: Can this powder be used in gluten-free or allergen-free products?
A: The powder itself is pure eggshell and is naturally gluten-free, nut-free, and dairy-free. However, as it is derived from eggs, it is an allergen for individuals with egg allergies. Manufacturing facilities should be evaluated for cross-contact risks.
Q6: What is the recommended usage level in formulations?
A: The usage level depends on the target calcium content of the final product and regulatory guidelines. Typical inclusion rates range from 1% to 5% in solid formulations. We recommend consulting with our technical team for specific application support.
Q7: How should this product be stored?
A: Store in a cool, dry place in its original, tightly sealed container away from strong odors and moisture. Under these conditions, it has a shelf life of 24 months.
