Calcium d-glucarate
Scientific names: Calcium D-Glucarate
Alternate names: Calcio D-Glucarato, Calcium-D Glucarate, Calcium-D-Glucarate, Calcium D-Saccharate, Calcium Glucarate, D-Glucarate (GA), D-glucaric acid calcium salt, D-saccharic acid calcium salt, Glucarate de Calcium
Background
Calcium D-glucarate is a chemical similar to glucaric acid. Glucaric acid is naturally found in the body and in some fruits and vegetables.
Calcium D-glucarate is made by combining glucaric acid with calcium. Calcium D-glucarate might lower estrogen levels, which might have effects in some people with hormone-dependent cancers.
People use calcium D-glucarate for preventing breast cancer, prostate cancer, and colon cancer, and for treating other conditions, but there is no good scientific evidence to support these uses.
Don't confuse calcium D-glucarate with calcium. These are not the same.
