Calcium D-Glucarate

What is CDG (Calcium D-Glucarate)? Calcium D-Glucarate, also known as calcium saccharate and saccharated lime, is a calcium salt combined with glucaric acid. The addition of glucaric acid dramatically improves the calcium’s oral bioavailability. Once ingested, stomach acids break down calcium D-glucarate into calcium and D-glucaric acid. Calcium is an essential mineral and electrolyte that the body needs to maintain the circulatory, digestive, and muscular systems. It is also critical for bone formation, blood cell function, muscle contractions, and nerve conduction. Glucaric acid occurs naturally in many fruits and vegetables, including apples, grapefruits, oranges, and cruciferous vegetables like broccoli. D-glucarate has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that help rid the body of toxins and support the body’s natural defense systems. Glucaric acid also helps re
