Versacal Clear Wins the Health Ingredients Europe Excellence Awards

Leveraging our technical expertise in phosphates, VersaCAL Clear was developed to tackle this problem and provide manufacturers with a soluble source of both calcium and phosphorus which the other products do not provide.

18 Nov 2010 --- Innophos became a clear winner with its pioneering VersaCAL Clear, a highly soluble calcium phosphate for clear beverages, at HiE Excellence Awards. Claiming the first prize in the nutrition for the young and old category, the judges were impressed by the significant breakthrough VersaCAL Clear represents for beverage industry.

The panel of ingredient experts applauded VersaCAL Clear’s effective combination of calcium and phosphorus to promote healthy teeth and bones which does not compromise product taste and stability.

The judges said “We were inspired by the possibility for beverage manufactures to create products” with VersaCal Clear “for a target group that really matters by providing calcium and phosphorus that they need to build strong bones.”

“We are thrilled to have won this prestigious award, which validates the benefits VersaCAL Clear offers our customers,” comments Joseph W. Golowski, Vice President – Specialty Phosphates.

“Traditionally calcium fortification in clear beverages uses other calcium sources such as lactates, gluconates and citrates which can have an impact on flavor and stability in some formulations. Leveraging our technical expertise in phosphates, VersaCAL Clear was developed to tackle this problem and provide manufacturers with a soluble source of both calcium and phosphorus which the other products do not provide.”
