Is Calcium Phosphate vegan?
Calcium Phosphate
Calcium phosphate encompasses monobasic, dibasic, and tribasic forms of a mineral salt found naturally in rocks and bones. It is used as an anti-caking agent, mineral supplement, abrasive in toothpaste, and gelling agent in food and cosmetic products.
Why unconfirmed?
Calcium Phosphate can be either derived from animal, or non-animal sources. The ingredient name itself is identical either way, so the label alone can’t tell you which. Only a supplier declaration can.
