Calcium D-Glucarate - capsules
Helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
Calcium-d-glucarate assists in the detoxification process as it forms conjugates with unwanted estrogenic hormones and environmental toxins, which are then eliminated from the body instead of being reabsorbed. Also helps in the development and maintenance of bones and teeth.
Designs for Healthβs Calcium D-Glucarate features 150 mg of calcium from 1200 mg of calcium D-glucarate per 2-capsule serving to support the maintenance of good health.
Calcium D-glucarate consists of elemental calcium bound to D-glucaric acid, a compound produced in small amounts by the human body and found in various plant foods such as apples, oranges, grapefruit, broccoli, cabbage, and kale. Some individuals may benefit from higher amounts through supplementation.
How It Works:
-
Supports liver detoxification: Calcium D-glucarate may help the body eliminate toxins and excess hormones by supporting the liverβs detoxification process called glucuronidation.
-
Hormone clearance: Glucuronidation binds toxins and hormones (like estrogen, testosterone, cortisol) to glucuronic acid so they can be excreted.
-
Enzyme regulation: Certain gut bacteria produce Ξ²-glucuronidase, which can βun-bindβ these compounds, allowing them to recirculate. Calcium D-glucarate may help inhibit this enzyme, supporting the elimination of toxins and hormones.
-
Cholesterol metabolism: Reducing Ξ²-glucuronidase activity may also enhance bile acid excretion and glucuronidation of cholesterol, supporting healthy cholesterol metabolism.
