Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is the difference between Anhydrous and Dihydrate DCP?

The primary difference is the presence of water molecules in the crystal structure. Dihydrate (CaHPO₄·2H₂O) contains two water molecules, making it slightly bulkier, while Anhydrous (CaHPO₄) has been dehydrated. Both offer excellent bioavailability, but the choice depends on your specific formulation and moisture-sensitivity requirements.

2. Does this material comply with international pharmaceutical standards?

Yes, our Dicalcium Phosphate strictly conforms to major pharmacopeial standards including BP (British Pharmacopoeia), USP (United States Pharmacopeia), and FCC (Food Chemicals Codex).

3. What is the shelf life and ideal storage environment?

The product maintains its stability for up to 24 months when stored in a cool, dry environment, in its original sealed packaging, protected from direct moisture.
