D-GLUCARATE |
|
|
|
D-Glucarate can help
clean out toxins
from your body |
|
|
Glucaric acid is
naturally produced
by the body and can
be taken in by
eating fruits and
vegetables.
Supplemental
glucaric acid is
formed by adding
calcium to produce
calcium
D-glucarate. It is
a detoxifying agent
that works to
increase liver
processes that
neutralize harmful
chemicals and
metabolic
byproducts.
Preliminary studies
have been done on
calcium D-glucarate
for cancers of the
breast, prostate and
colon. |
Calcium D-glucarate
has been shown to
decrease enzymes
that are thought to
stimulate cancer
growth. It
also helps with
hormonally related
cancers by
decreasing the resorption of
estrogen from the
gastrointestinal
tract. Calcium
D-glucarate may also
be of benefit for
individuals with
high cholesterol by
decreasing the
resorption of
cholesterol from the
bile, as it travels
through the
intestines.
Interestingly animal
models have shown
that calcium
D-glucarate can
decrease kidney
damage that is
caused by antibiotic
use. Calcium
D-glucarate may be a
beneficial treatment
for cancer, high
cholesterol and drug
induced kidney
damage.
Glucaric acid is a
nutrient found in
many fruits and
vegetables.
Supplemental glucaric acid is bound to calcium for
stability. It is
available in capsule
or tablet form.
Use of calcium
D-glucarate in
pregnancy and
lactation has not
been studied. There
are no reported side
effects for calcium
D-glucarate.
Calcium D-glucarate
may interact with
drugs such as
diflunisal,
ketoprofen,
lorazepam, and
morphine that are
processed by the
same set of enzymes
in the liver.
Alcohol may decrease
the effectiveness of
this supplement. |
