Can someone with an understanding of chemistry provide insight as to what this preservative is?
I've heard that some forms of calcium are horrible for you and can lead to barnacles developing inside the body.

Phosphoric acid has three acidic hydrogens that can be replaced by metallic elements like sodium or calcium. Calcium triphosphate is perfectly natural compound. In fact, it may be the most common natural form of phosphate. I know it is mined very heavily for use as fertilizer.
The phosphate ion is essentially nontoxic. Your bones and teeth are calcium phosphates.
Calcium phosphates are not water soluble, but in your stomach, some of it would react with your stomach acid to form a soluble form of calcium that would be available to your body, as well as some phosphoric acid (non-toxic.) if you've ever seen what dog shit looks like after a dog has enjoyed a t-bone, you can see that for the most part, calcium phosphate will pass through your body unchanged.
As for barnacles...

Sailors who used a lot of it ran a bigger risk.

It is used for getting the shene off of house paint so you can paint over glossy paint. Its a Phosphate anion bonded to 3 calcium cations.

You mean TSP? tri sodium phosphate.

Yes I meant TSP, although im guessing this would work also.

Calcium phosphate wouldn't work the same way because it isn't soluble in water.

Thank you very much, koods, for taking the time to answer my question. Forgot to say thanks, so I'm bumping this. "Barnacles" fear comes from this information, by the way: http://www.cheap-health-revolution.com/calcification.html
