Calcium D-
Glucarate, provided by Douglas Laboratories, is a natural supplement of
D-glucaric acid bound to
calcium.
Calcium D-
Glucarate may be a usefuldietary supplement for those who wish to supplement their diet withD-glucaric acid as a precursor to
D-glucaro- 1, 4-lactone.
Calcium D-
glucarate enhances the bodysnatural defenses against environmental toxins and excess steroidhormones. Through the actions of its metabolite
D-glucaro-1,4-lact one,
calcium-
d-gluc arate indirectly favors glucuronidation, an importantsystem that the body relies upon to deactivate and eliminate toxins andsteroid hormones. Glucuronidation is a conjugation process throughwhich potentially carcinogenic environmental toxins, such as polycyclicaromati c hydrocarbons and nitrosamines, and excess steroid hormones areneutralized. During glucuronidation, the enzyme glucuronosyltrans ferase catalyzes the conjugation of free carcinogens and steroidhormones to glucuronic acid. The resulting glucuronide- bound toxins andhormones can then be safely excreted in bile and urine. The body alsodeconjugates glucuronide- bound end products. The release ofglucuronide- bound substances is beneficial in some circumstances, forexample, when the excretion of steroid hormones is undesirable. Yet,the deconjugation process, which works via the enzymebeta- glucuronidase, can result in the re-release of harmful toxins backinto the body. The benefits of
calcium D-
glucarate arerealized indirectly through the action of its metabolite Dglucaro-1,4-lacto ne, which inhibits the deconjugating enzyme beta- glucuronidasefoun
d in both blood and tissue. Inhibition of beta- glucuronidase causesa net increase in glucuronidation, and thereby enhances a primarydetoxifica tion pathway in the body. Animal studies have documented adecrease in B-glucuronidase activity in breast, liver, colon, skin,lung, and prostate tissue following oral administration of calciumDglucarate . Once ingested,
Calcium D-
glucarate is converted toDglucaric acid in the presence of gastric HCl. The body normallymaintains an equilibrium between
D-glucaric acid and its twometabolites,
D-glucaro-1,4-lact one and
D-glucaro-6,3-lact one. CalciumD-
glucarate provides a slow-release source of
D-glucaro-1,4-lact one.When taken directly,
D-glucaro- 1,4-lactone is metabolized quitequickly and is excreted from the body usually within 1-2 hours of itsadministration .
Calcium D-
glucarate, however, is metabolized slowly,remaining in the body for 5 or more hours after ingestion. This resultsin maintenance of stable levels of
D-glucaro-1,4-lact one for longperiods of time.
D-glucaric acid is produced endogenously in smallamounts. It is also present in some fruits and vegetables, includingoranges, apples, grapefruit, broccoli and other cruciferous vegetables. Ingredients: Serving Size: 1 Capsule Servings Per Container: 90 Amount Per Serving
