Calcium lactate is a calcium salt used as a calcium supplement to prevent and treat calcium deficiencies. It is also used as a food additive and, less commonly, as a pharmaceutical agent for conditions requiring increased calcium intake. Calcium lactate is considered safe and is approved for use as a supplement, but is rarely used as a primary calcium supplement compared to other forms such as calcium carbonate.
