It is derived from D-glucaric acid, a substance produced by the body and found in various plant sources.
Benefits
- Calcium D-glucarate is believed to support liver health by promoting the elimination of toxins and excess hormones, particularly estrogen.
- It may help maintain healthy cholesterol levels by inhibiting the enzyme beta-glucuronidase, which can interfere with the body's ability to excrete cholesterol and other toxins.
Precautions
- While calcium D-glucarate is generally considered safe for most people when taken at recommended doses, individuals with certain medical conditions or those taking medications should consult with a healthcare professional before using calcium D-glucarate supplements.
- Side effects such as gastrointestinal upset or allergic reactions are rare but possible.
