Calcium D-Glucarate 90 Vegetarian Capsules

This Calcium D-Glucarate supplement was created by Thorne Research to promote enhanced liver detoxification. It was designed to support glucuronidation, which is an important liver detoxification pathway.

D-Glucarate can prevent toxins from being recycled back into the liver. It also has been known to support healthy hormone metabolism. As you can expect from Thorne Research, this supplement is made without any preservatives, magnesium stearate or other diluents and lubricants.

What is Calcium D-Glucarate?

Calcium D-glucarate is produced naturally by the body of humans, although it is produced in small amounts. Supplementing with calcium D-glucarate has been shown in studies to stop environmental toxins and hormones from being recycled by the liver, which can promote better liver detoxification and allow these potentially harmful substances to be excreted from the body.

In addition to the small amount of calcium D-glucarate that our bodies produce, you can also find this substance in fruits and vegetables, such as Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, apples and oranges. In supplements, such as this one by Thorne Research, it is made by combining glucaric acid with calcium.

More research must be done on the effects of calcium D-glucarate on preventing and treating disease, but it is believed to be effective in preventing colon, prostate and breast cancer. It is also used to help the body remove cancer-causing agents, steroid hormones and toxins.

BBecause it is believed that calcium D-Glucarate may lower estrogen levels, some believe that it can be helpful in treating people with hormone-dependent cancers. There isn’t enough research to support this, but if you think supplementation may help, talk to your doctor about the potential risks and benefits of adding calcium D-glucarate supplements to your dietary routine.

What is Glucuronidation?

Glucuronidation happens naturally in the liver every day. It is the process by which the body attaches a glucuronic acid molecule to substances that should be eliminated from the body. During phase II liver detoxification, steroid hormones, toxic chemicals and other fat-soluble toxins go through glucuronidation before they are removed from the body through bile or urine. Supplementing with calcium D-glucarate helps to assure that this process is allowed to occur without interruption.

In addition to helping the liver detoxify, calcium D-glucarate helps the body maintain already normal cholesterol levels and supports the healthy metabolism of hormones.

How to Take Thorne Research’s Calcium D-Glucarate

If you think you can benefit from calcium D-glucarate, you may take one of these supplements by Thorne Research up to three times daily, or as directed by your health care practitioner. Do not take calcium D-glucarate with alcohol as alcohol may increase the rate of excretion of calcium D-glucarate. Because alcohol can accelerate the speed in which the body gets rid of calcium D-glucarate, it can significantly decrease its effectiveness./p>
