Sodium cellulose phosphate

Sodium cellulose phosphate is a drug used to treat hypercalcemia and hypercalciuria. It has been used to prevent kidney stones. Sodium cellulose phosphate (SCP) is a food additive used as an emulsifier, thickener, and stabilizer. It is also known as sodium carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and is a white, odorless, and tasteless powder. SCP is a cellulose derivative, meaning it is derived from plant sources such as wood pulp, cotton, and other natural fibers. It is commonly used in a variety of processed foods such as ice cream, jelly, and other dairy products. It is also used in cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and even in some industrial applications. SCP is considered to be a safe food additive and is approved by the FDA.
