As a dietary supplement, it is commonly used as a source of calcium and phosphorus for both humans and animals. In this role, the compound is either used as an additive in the preparation of cereal and grain products or purchased as a meal supplement. It is also virtually insoluble in water and is sometimes used as a delayed release component in the pharmaceutical industry.
