Levulinic acid calcium
Levulinic acid calcium (4-Oxovaleric acid calcium) is an effective oral calcium supplement and is commonly used as a food additive. Levulinic acid calcium can be reduced in the liver to 4-hydroxypentanoate (HY-W107263), and ethanol enhances this reduction process. Levulinic acid calcium can be used for studies on calcium deficiency.
