Ingredient

Dicalcium Phosphate

Benefits

Synthetic

An anti-caking agent, dicalcium phosphate, sometimes known as dicalcium phosphate anhydrous, keeps solid, self-preserving products fresh and dry. It is widely used in toothpaste for its polishing and plaque removing properties (and because it's tasteless).

​It is an inert calcium salt, that can also be classified as an ionic salt, made up of charged particles of calcium and phosphate. It is often used as a calcium supplement in foods, such as breakfast cereals.
