Hijrah Water is commercializing calcium hydroxyapatite derived from fish scales which is unique technology, promoting waste to wealth resources. Usage of calcium ball in our water filtration system added the value of the drinking water to become mineralised, alkalined and contained high calcium.
Hydroxyapatite is a natural form of calcium phosphate, the main mineral in bones and teeth. Supplementing with this form of calcium may enhance bone density and strength, especially in those at risk for osteoporosis. Microcrystalline hydroxyapatite can support enamel repair and reduce sensitivity by filling in microscopic holes in enamel.

It is often used in dental care and could offer oral health benefits if consumed regularly in low doses.
High Bioavailability
Calcium from hydroxyapatite is more readily absorbed compared to some other calcium salts (like calcium carbonate).
The presence of phosphorus in a biologically relevant ratio (Ca:P ~1.67) also supports effective calcium utilization in the body.
Natural and Sustainable Source
Fish-scale-derived hydroxyapatite is a sustainable byproduct of the seafood industry, offering an eco-friendly alternative to mined calcium sources.
Potential Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant Effects
Some studies suggest that trace proteins or peptides associated with fish-derived HAp might have anti-inflammatory or antioxidant effects.
Supports Muscle and Nerve Function
Calcium is critical for neuromuscular signaling and muscle contraction, so improving dietary calcium intake can aid in preventing cramps and muscle weakness.
