Calcium D-Glucarate

The calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, which is a naturally occurring metabolite in the human body. D-glucaric acid is also found in a number of fruits and vegetables, especially cruciferous vegetables (cabbage, broccoli, etc.).

D-glucaric acid may act as an anti-cancer nutrient, due to its ability to facilitate the detoxification and excretion of carcinogenic compounds. Although calcium d-glucarate has been tested in cell cultures and rodents, research in humans is limited. It does, however appear to be both non-toxic and well-tolerated in large doses.
