Liquid calcium soft capsule and preparation method thereof

Abstract

The invention discloses a liquid calcium soft capsule and a preparation method thereof. The liquid calcium soft capsule comprises a capsule shell and contents in a capsule body, the capsule skin comprises 30%-50% of gelatin, 10%-30% of glycerol, 30%-50% of purified water and 1%-4% of a coloring agent; the content in the capsule body comprises 30%-50% of calcium citrate, 1%-5% of milk mineral salt, 0.1%-3% of casein phosphopeptides, 0.01%-2% of vitamin D3 and 40%-60% of soybean oil. Calcium citrate is used as a main calcium source, and milk mineral salt is used as a secondary calcium source. Calcium citrate is organic acid calcium, the absorption rate of the calcium citrate is higher than that of inorganic calcium, the content of citric acid in urine can be increased, the urine is acidified, and formation of calculi is inhibited. Milk mineral salt is separated from milk, irritation to intestines and stomach is small, and the calcium supplement effect cannot be reversed. Casein phosphopeptides are added and combined with Ca < 2 + > to form a soluble complex, so that Ca < 2 + > is prevented from being precipitated in neutral or weakly alkaline small intestines, and absorption and utilization of small intestine epithelial cells to Ca < 2 + > are promoted. Vitamin D3 is a hormone precursor acting on calcium and phosphorus metabolism, and can improve the absorption of the body to calcium and phosphorus.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention belongs to the field of animal husbandry and particularly relates to a liquid calcium soft capsule and a preparation method thereof. Background technique [0002] With the rapid development of my country's economy, the material and cultural life of Chinese residents has been greatly enriched in the process of China's economic growth, and the number of domestic pets has increased sharply. According to statistics, the number of pet dogs and cats nationwide reached 99.15 million in 2019, an increase of 8.5% over 2018. And the role of pets as companions in people's lives is becoming more and more prominent. [0003] Calcium is the most demanded trace element in cats and dogs, and it is also an essential mineral for the healthy growth of cats and dogs. Pet cats and dogs need sufficient high-quality calcium at all stages of growth, especially young pets, pregnant pets, and elderly pets have a greater demand for calcium. Calcium is not only t...

Problems solved by technology

[0004] Calcium supplements for pets on the market are mainly tablets and powders. The calcium source is mainly inorganic calcium (calcium hydrogen phosphate, calcium carbonate). Its absorption depends on gastric acid, which is irritating to the stomach and intestines, with poor absorption rate and low bioavailability.
