Carbonato di calcio composto inorganico, è uno dei minerali più comuni che si trova in agglomerati rocciosi in tutto il mondo ed è formato principalmente da : calcio, carbonio, ossigeno. E' il componente primario di gusci d'uovo, di lumache, perle ed organismi marini. Il carbonato di calcio è l'ingrediente attivo nella calce agricola e si forma quando gli ioni di calcio nell'acqua dura reagiscono con gli ioni di carbonato per creare incrostazioni di calcare.
Il carbonato di calcio negli integratori serve principalmente come:
Fonte concentrata di calcio
Agente tampone gastrico
Eccipiente tecnologico
Supporto indiretto al metabolismo minerale
Il nome "carbonato di calcio" deriva dalla sua composizione chimica: un ion calcio (Ca2+) combinato con un ion carbonato (CO3 2-).
Il carbonato di calcio non viene tipicamente sintetizzato in un laboratorio o in un ambiente industriale perché è facilmente disponibile in natura. Tuttavia, può essere sintetizzato mescolando soluzioni di ioni di calcio e ioni di carbonato. Il precipitato risultante è il carbonato di calcio.
Ecco un semplice esempio di come può essere fatto:
Si presenta in forma di polvere bianca insolubile in acqua incolore, inodore e insapore.

A cosa serve e dove si usa
Alimentazione
Ingrediente inserito nella lista degli additivi alimentari europei come colorante E170.
Costruzioni (cemento, intonaci, asfalto).
L'uso del precipitato di carbonato di calcio protegge la superficie del calcestruzzo da agenti esterni dannosi. Oppure o per riparare le fessurazioni nel calcestruzzo invecchiato (1).
Medicina.
I nanocristalli di carbonato di calcio biobased sintetizzati hanno dimostrato di essere un vettore efficace per il rilascio di doxorubicina farmaco antitumorale (DOX). I risultati suggeriscono che i nanocristalli di carbonato di calcio mantengono un'enorme promessa nelle aree di somministrazione controllata di farmaci e terapia mirata contro il cancro (2).
Riduzione della ipersensibilità dentinale in adulti con una diagnosi clinica di ipersensibilità dentinale (3) e indicato come trattamento nei casi di carenza di calcio nei soggetti anziani e in associazione alle terapie per l'osteoporosi (4). Il carbonato di calcio è in grado di aumentare i livelli di calcio e neutralizzare gli acidi della placca (5).
Cosmetica
E' un ingrediente soggetto a restrizioni IV / 124 come Voce pertinente negli allegati del regolamento europeo sui cosmetici n. 1223/2009.
Sicurezza. E' un ingrediente che non ha particolari avvertenze riguardanti il profilo salutare per cui può essere utilizzato in tutti i prodotti cosmetici.

Abstract. As synthetic polymers, currently used for concrete repair, may be harmful to the environment, the use of a biological repair technique is investigated in this study. Ureolytic bacteria such as Bacillus sphaericus are able to precipitate CaCO3 in their micro-environment by conversion of urea into ammonium and carbonate. The bacterial degradation of urea locally increases the pH and promotes the microbial deposition of carbonate as calcium carbonate in a calcium rich environment. These precipitated crystals can thus fill the cracks. The crack healing potential of bacteria and traditional repair techniques are compared in this research by means of water permeability tests, ultrasound transmission measurements and visual examination. Thermogravimetric analysis showed that bacteria were able to precipitate CaCO3 crystals inside the cracks. It was seen that pure bacteria cultures were not able to bridge the cracks. However, when bacteria were protected in silica gel, cracks were filled completely.

Abstract. Purpose: To evaluate the clinical efficacy of a single professional application of a Pro-Relief desensitizing fluoride-free paste containing 8% arginine and calcium as compared to a fluoride-free prophylaxis paste on dentin hypersensitivity reduction in adults with a clinical diagnosis of dentin hypersensitivity. Methods: This single-center, parallel group, double-blind and randomized clinical study conducted in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic included 50 (25 per group) adult male and female subjects. Each study subject had two teeth hypersensitive to air blast stimuli when applied directly at its cervical surface (gingivo-facial 1/3). An air blast hypersensitivity score equal or greater to 2 (Schiff Cold Air Sensitivity Scale) was randomly assigned to one of two treatment groups (1) Pro-Relief in-office desensitizing fluoride-free paste containing 8% arginine and calcium carbonate (Test Paste group), and (2) a fluoride-free prophylaxis paste (Control Paste group). Prior to their baseline examination, subjects were instructed to return to the clinical facility having refrained from eating and drinking for 2 hours. An assessment of air blast hypersensitivity and examinations of oral soft and hard tissue were performed at the baseline. Subjects were provided a professional in-office prophylaxis with their assigned prophylaxis paste. A post hypersensitivity examination was performed immediately after the oral prophylaxis. Results: All subjects completed the study. At the post-hypersensitivity examination, subjects assigned to the Test Paste group and Control Paste group both exhibited statistically significant (P = 0000) reductions (compared to baseline), to air blast hypersensitivity of 44.7% and 25.6%, respectively. At the post-hypersensitivity examination, subjects in the Test Paste group exhibited a statistically significant (P = 0.005) reduction of 24.4% in mean air blast hypersensitivity scores as compared to the Control Paste group.

Abstract. Aim: To summarise clinical support for the anti-caries efficacy of fluoride toothpastes containing sodium monofluorophosphate (SMFP) and to discuss the possible means by which the abrasive particles in calcium carbonate-based SMFP toothpastes might complement and/or enhance fluoride efficacy. Background: The anti-caries efficacy of fluoride has been proven beyond any reasonable doubt, and the efficacy of SMFP, when incorporated into a variety of compatible toothpaste formulations, has been established in numerous clinical trials. Calcium carbonate-based toothpastes may also influence caries by effecting an increase in plaque calcium levels; an inverse relationship between plaque calcium and caries is well-established. It has also been reported that plaque fluoride levels are dependent on plaque calcium levels. Hence elevated plaque calcium resulting from the use of calcium carbonate-based toothpastes has the potential to elevate plaque fluoride, itself linked to reduced caries experience. It has been shown that calcium carbonate particles are retained by plaque and this may also influence caries by neutralising harmful plaque acids and concurrently liberating calcium. Conclusion: Fluoride delivered from calcium carbonate-based SMFP toothpastes is an effective means of reducing caries. Further, calcium carbonate may confer additional benefits through elevation of oral calcium levels and neutralisation of plaque-acids.
