Calcium D-Glucarate

Calcium D-Glucarate (CDG) occurs naturally in apples, oranges, grapefruit, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. It plays a role in the glucuronidation process in our body. In such a process, substances are made (more) water-soluble so they can be drained more easily.

Our body can also produce D-glucarate itself in small amounts.
