Calcium glucarate food supplement: liver glucuronidation

Calcium D-glucarate is a powerful antioxidant supplement delivered in vegetarian capsules, that provides detoxification benefits by helping to eliminate excess hormones and toxins such as mercury, nicotine, paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and other medication residues.

What is Calcium D-glucarate?

Calcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, a substance naturally present in small amounts in the body as well as in fruits and vegetables such as grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. Free from side-effects, calcium D-glucarate constitutes a major antioxidant because of its effect on a particularly important phase of the detoxification process: glucoronidation. Glucoronidation is the most important conjugation reaction in phase II detoxification.

What are the benefits associated with Calcium D-glucarate?

Glucurolactone is known to have a direct and powerful inhibitory effect on beta-glucuronidase, an enzyme produced by microflora which is able to deconjugate toxins. It should, therefore, be included in any detoxification programme and hepatitis treatment because it promotes the elimination of toxins such as mercury, nicotine, paracetamol, non-steroidal anti-inflammatories and other medication residues.

Glucuronidation is also the principal mechanism through which steroid hormones, particularly oestrogens such as oestradiol, are broken down and excreted. However, this normal process can sometimes be impeded by beta-glucuronidase which releases oestrogens into the bloodstream. By inhibiting this enzyme, calcium D-glucarate reduces the total oestrogen load on the body as well as that of other hormone metabolites. It is therefore particularly recommended for premenopausal or menopausal women whose oestrogen levels remain too high.
