Reaktionsschritte

The following reaction is carried out to form a strontium (M) ascorbate salt using ascorbate, strontium and calcium where the Sr:Ca mole ratio is 0.6 moles Sr:0.4 moles Ca. Ascorbic acid is dissolved in distilled H20 at 90° C. in an appropriate reaction vessel (Meuller). The water mass is 10-25% of the mass of ascorbic acid. As soon as the ascorbic acid is dissolved, slowly add strontium carbonate followed by calcium carbonate. Keep temperature constant. As the reaction proceeds, add 0.5-5% water by mass. Reduce temperature to 60° C. 10 minutes after the last of the mineral salt is added. The resulting slurry is transferred to trays and placed in the oven at 60° C. until dry. Optionally, the strontium ascorbate (M) salt may need to be turned over once as part of the drying process. The dry strontium ascorbate (M) salt mass can be milled to varying particle sizes including a fine powder or a granular powder for use in various oral dosage forms.
