Calcium D-Glucarate, 60 caps

DESCRIPTION

Calcium  D-Glucarate  is  calcium  bound  to  d-glucaric  acid,  which  is  a  natural  compound  produced  in  small  amounts  by  the  human  body  and  also found in various plant foods such as apples, oranges, and grapefruit, and  abundantly  in  some  of  the  cruciferous  vegetables,  such  as  broccoli,  cabbage,  and  kale. 

Research  shows  that  d-glucaric  acid  derivatives,  such  as  calcium  d-glucarate,  help  support  the  body’s  defense  against  toxins  and  excess  steroid  hormones,  making  calcium-d-glucarate  helpful  for  supporting  the  liver’s  detoxification  capacity  and  potentially  protecting  against  suboptimal  health  stemming  from  hormone  imbalances  and  overall toxic burden.

Benefits:

  • Supports liver detoxification of foreign compounds
  • Supports healthy hormone metabolism and clearance

LEARN MORE

During normal liver detoxification, some toxins, including hormones like estrogen, are cleared via glucuronidation – a process wherein a compound called glucuronic acid is attached to a toxin (e.g., excess estrogen) in order to create a substance that is more readily eliminated by the body. In the case of liver detoxification, the substrates are most often xenobiotic substances—things that are foreign to the body, such as pharmaceutical drugs and environmental pollutants—as well as compounds produced inside the body through natural biochemical processes, like excess male and female reproductive hormones, mineralcorticoids, glucocorticoids (like cortisol), bile acids, and more. Theses toxins and hormones, once bound to glucuronic acid, are then ready to be safely eliminated. Elimination of these compounds that are coupled to glucuronic acid (and are now referred to as conjugates) occurs through the GI tract, via the stool. Some bacterial species that inhabit the large intestine secrete an enzyme that is capable of de-conjugating these compounds—that is, separating the toxins from the glucuronic acid, which may result in the harmful substances being reabsorbed into the body, rather than being eliminated. One of calcium-d-glucarate’s most powerful effects is in inhibiting the activity of this enzyme, thereby facilitating the healthy removal of these substances. While the body makes d-glucaric acid and some is also obtained from the diet, due to environmental toxin exposure, hormone imbalances, and issues that may impair the effectiveness of liver detoxification, some individuals may benefit from higher amounts via supplementation with calcium-d-glucarate.
