The Origin of DCP

Mined from deposits within the earth’s crust, calcium phosphate is known by many synonyms such as “lime,” “hardware lime,” “calcium lime” or “dolomite.”  Mixed samples of the substance may have a high percentage of impurities imbedded in them which may be harmful.  For instance, one of the compounds found in Dicalcium Phosphate (DCP) may be lead.  Dolomite, in particular, has been singled out as containing a high percentage of lead.While we refer to Dicalcium Phosphate DCP as Di-Calcium Phosphate, the term is used broadly to include all forms of calcium phosphate.  Some deposits may be slightly higher proportionately as regards to particular ingredients.  Whatever the differences, all are considered forms of calcium phosphate and act metabolically in a similar manner.
