• Removes a range of toxins from our body

• Reduces elevated levels of LDL cholesterol
Calcium-D-glucarate is a compound that has its roots deeply embedded in nature. As the calcium salt form of D-glucaric acid, it is naturally present in various fruits and vegetables, with notable concentrations in grapefruit, apples, and broccoli.
Beyond just being a component of our daily dietary intake, Calcium-D-glucarate boasts a suite of health benefits. Notably, its prominence in detoxification pathways, fundamental to maintaining homeostasis and proper physiological function in our bodies, sets it apart. Through its function, it manages a balancing act, especially in the delicate hormonal ballet, ensuring that excessive estrogen, which could be detrimental, is efficiently processed and excreted.
It is also efficient at blocking the re-uptake of exhausted oestrogen metabolites from the gut by blocking the beta-glucuronidase enzyme produced by some bacteria.
Detoxification Specialist
Calcium-D-glucarate operates through a scientifically fascinating mechanism termed "glucuronidation." ds:
In the liver, glucuronic acid binds with toxins and certain hormones, including excess estrogens. This process essentially tags them for excretion, making them more water-soluble and thus easier to be eliminated from the body through urine or bile.
However, certain bacteria in the gut can throw a wrench in the works. They produce an enzyme called beta-glucuronidase, which can sever the bond between glucuronic acid and the toxin or hormone. When this happens, instead of being excreted, these potentially harmful compounds can be reabsorbed into the bloodstream.
Calcium-D-glucarate acts as a beta-glucuronidase inhibitor. By tempering the activity of this enzyme, Calcium-D-glucarate ensures that the body's natural detoxification processes aren't reversed. The result? Toxins and excess hormones get effectively flushed out of the system, reducing their potential harmful impacts. This mechanism is particularly vital when considering oestrogen's role. While necessary for various physiological processes, an overabundance of this hormone, or its metabolism into harmful byproducts, has been linked to a variety of health issues, including certain cancers. Calcium-D-glucarate, by aiding in the elimination of excess estrogen, can thus play a pivotal role in maintaining hormonal balance and health.
