Calcium d‑glucarate is converted within the stomach to d‑glucaric acid, a powerful ally to detoxify and strengthen hepatic function. Once converted, it actively inhibits the action of an enzyme which contributes to many diseases. Its main mechanism of action is glucuronidation, a process where it binds to toxins both produced by body and from environmental exposure. This serves to detoxify the liver and enhance its performance for detoxifying and metabolizing potentially harmful compounds for excretion as bile.

Calcium d‑glucarate is found in apples, oranges, grapefruits, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli; however, targeted supplementation can serve a crucial role in the maintenance of liver function essential to your general wellbeing.
