Calcium D-Glucarate
Calcium D-Glucarate is a supplement made by combining calcium and D-glucaric acid. It is a β-glucuronidase inhibitor that promotes the excretion of any molecule in a specific detoxification pathway. Calcium D-Glucarate might lower estrogen levels, which might have effects in some people with hormone-dependent cancers.
Benefits of Calcium D-Glucarate

There is no good scientific evidence to support the use of Calcium D-Glucarate for preventing breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, or for treating other conditions. However, oral calcium D-glucarate supplementation has been shown to prevent the body from reabsorbing and recycling hormones and harmful environmental toxins.
Currently, most experts recommend adults consume between 1500 mg and 3000 mg of CDG every day, but the optimal dose for medical purposes is currently unknown. So far, CDG appears safe, but natural products are not always necessarily safe and dosages can be important. Be sure to follow relevant directions on product labels and consult a healthcare professional before use.
