Calcium D-Glucarate (90ct)

Calcium D-Glucarate Naturally Enhancing Glucuronidation – A Detoxification System

DESCRIPTION

D-glucarate is found in grapefruit, apples, oranges, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts.1,2 D-glucarate supports the body’s cleansing system — a detoxification mechanism called glucuronidation. The human body uses glucuronidation to make a large variety of substances more water-soluble, and, in this way, allow for their subsequent elimination from the body through urine or feces (via bile from the liver). Calcium D-Glucarate, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a natural supplement of D-glucaric acid bound to calcium.

Calcium-d-glucarate Might benefit your Health by

1. Removing excess estrogen

Calcium d-glucarate allows excess estrogen to be passed out of the body. Estrogen dominance is one of the leading causes of infertility, mood imbalances, and other health problems in women.  One of the most common treatments for high estrogen levels in a drug called tamoxifen. Tamoxifen has numerous side effects including stroke, blood clots, uterine cancer, and cataracts. A review in 2003 said calcium-d-glucarate could be as effective in preventing cancer as Tamoxifen.  Both men and woman who have hormone imbalances  can benefit from using calcium-d-glucarate.

2. Support Liver detoxification pathways

When Calcium-d-glucarate is taken orally, it’s metabolized into glucaric acid.  This is the active form of calcium-d-glucarate and the one produced naturally by the body.  Glucaric acid is not available as a supplement by itself which is why you need to supplement with Calcium-d-glucarate.

Glucaric acid binds to toxins in the stomach which are then removed in the urine.  Glucaric acid is also circulated around the body where it performs the same function – scavenging and releasing toxins.  Removing toxins from the liver will increase liver function and promote a healthy metabolism.  It will also allow your liver to flush out other toxins that would otherwise cause problems.

3. Ketogenic and Paleo diets

Ketogenic diets, Paleo diet and Autoimmune paleo tend to be higher in protein than the Standard American Diet. Our livers and kidneys efficiently process proteins into nitrogen and finally remove harmful byproducts like ammonia.  However, we live in toxic world that is increasing becoming more polluted. Some of these toxins and pollutants include antibiotics, xenoestrogens, air pollutants, heavy metals, endotoxins and mycotoxins from bacterial and fungal infections.  This compromises our liver and creates oxidative stress.   Our modern world is so polluted, that humans don’t always have the necessary means to fend off natural byproducts of a healthy metabolism.  If you’re consuming a high protein diet (25-35 percent or greater), you should consider supplementing with Calcium-d-glucarate.

Each capsule contains:
Calcium D-Glucarate…………………………………………….. 500 mg

SUGGESTED USE

One to two capsules daily as a dietary supplement, or as directed by physician. People with estrogen dominance may benefit from taking as much as 3000-4500 mg a day – ask your doctor before adding any supplement to your regimen.

SIDE EFFECTS

No adverse effects have been reported.

STORAGE

Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct light. Keep out of reach of children.
