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