WHAT IS IT?

Calcium D-Glucarate is the Calcium salt of D-Glucarate, a natural substance found in fruits and vegetables such as apples, grapefruits, broccoli and alfalfa sprouts. Each capsule contains 500 mg. Other inert ingredients include gelatin, cellulose, water, magnesium stearate.

WHAT DOES IT DO?

By supplying a slow release form of D-glucaric acid, calcium D-glucarte is an effective agent that enhances the deactivation of toxic substances and encourages their elimination from the body.   When calcium glucarate is converted to D-glucaro 1,4-lactone, it counteracts the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, which can otherwise interfere with conjugation and detoxification of steroid hormones and potentially carcinogenic compounds.   Beta-glucuronidase enyzmes are present in all cells, particularly the liver, kidney, lung, intestinal epithelium, breast and endocrine organs.   By inhibiting this enzyme, glucaric acid derivatives may exert a protective, non antioxidant effect on the immune system.
