Description
Remarks: The sample complies as per above Specification.
Uses: Calcium carbonate is the active ingredient in agricultural lime and is created
when calcium ions in hard water react with carbonate ions to create limescale. It is medicinally used
as a calcium supplement or as an antacid, Calcium carbonate is a dietary supplement used when the
amount of calcium taken in the diet is not enough. Calcium is needed by the body for healthy bones,
muscles, nervous system, and heart. Calcium carbonate also is used as an antacid to
relieve heartburn, acid indigestion, and upset stomach
