{"title":"Calcium D-Glucarate","description":"\u003ch2\u003eBuy Calcium D-Glucarate: The Calcium Salt of D-Glucaric Acid\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, a substance that occurs naturally in small amounts in your body and is also obtained through fruits and vegetables such as apples, oranges, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. In supplements, it is used as a standalone ingredient, usually in capsule form. Calcium D-glucarate is a specific ingredient, but it is emphatically not a conventional calcium supplement: the calcium serves primarily as a carrier for the glucarate, and the elemental calcium content per daily dose is limited.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn our range, you will find calcium D-glucarate from well-known brands such as Vit4ever and NOW Foods, in different dosages per capsule (for example, 500 mg and 1500 mg). The formulas are generally simple: a single ingredient, highly dosed, often vegan, and without unnecessary additives. Below, you will read what calcium D-glucarate is exactly, where it occurs naturally, what variants are available, and what to look for when buying.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is calcium D-glucarate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, an organic acid related to glucose. Once absorbed, it can be converted in the body into the free form of glucaric acid and related compounds. In supplement form, the substance is offered as concentrated powder in capsules, so you receive a fixed amount per serving. Because calcium D-glucarate is a specific, defined substance, you choose it deliberately: you will rarely find it in multi-formula products and usually as a standalone product.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhere does D-glucaric acid occur naturally?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eD-glucaric acid occurs naturally in various fruits and vegetables. Relatively high levels can be found in oranges, apples, grapefruit, and cruciferous vegetables such as broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, and cabbage. Through a varied diet with sufficient fruits and vegetables, you obtain small amounts daily. In a supplement, the substance is concentrated, so you can take a fixed, higher amount per capsule than you usually obtain from food.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat forms and variants are available?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is almost always offered in capsule form. The main differences lie in the dosage per capsule and the number of capsules per bottle. For example, there is a variant with 500 mg per capsule (NOW Foods, 90 capsules) and a higher-dosage variant with 1500 mg per capsule (Vit4ever, 180 capsules). A higher dosage per capsule means that you receive the same amount with fewer capsules; a lower dosage gives you more flexibility to dose it yourself. When comparing, pay attention to the amount of calcium D-glucarate per capsule and the price per gram.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eHow much calcium does it contain?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAlthough the name suggests otherwise, calcium D-glucarate is not a substitute for a regular calcium supplement. In calcium D-glucarate, calcium is only a small part of the molecule; the largest part consists of glucarate. The elemental calcium content per daily dose is therefore limited and is usually not the reason people choose this product. If you specifically want to supplement your calcium intake, look for a regular calcium supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is calcium D-glucarate interesting for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is a standalone, targeted supplement for those looking specifically for this substance. Are you pregnant, breastfeeding, taking medication, or do you have a medical condition? Then consult your general practitioner or pharmacist before starting a new supplement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eDosage and use\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe usual dosage varies by brand and the chosen strength. Manufacturers generally recommend one or more capsules per day, taken with water at a meal. Stick to the recommended daily amount and do not exceed it. Dietary supplements are not a substitute for a varied diet and a healthy lifestyle. Always check the exact dosage and method of intake on the instructions for use and the label of the specific product you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhen do you take calcium D-glucarate?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eManufacturers generally recommend taking calcium D-glucarate with a generous amount of water at a meal. If you take multiple capsules per day, spread them throughout the day, for example over your main meals. A fixed intake time makes it easier to maintain use. Always check the recommended time and method of intake on the instructions for use and the label of the specific product you buy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat to look for when buying?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWhen choosing calcium D-glucarate, pay attention to the dosage per capsule, the number of capsules per bottle, and the price per gram of calcium D-glucarate. Also check if the formula is vegan and free from unnecessary additives if you value that, and whether the brand is transparent about origin and composition. Vit4ever and NOW Foods are established brands with clear labels. Finally, always check the ingredients list and the expiration date.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eAlso view our other collections: \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/calcium\"\u003eCalcium\u003c\/a\u003e and \u003ca href=\"\/en\/collections\/kruiden-planten\"\u003eHerbs \u0026amp; Plants\u003c\/a\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\n","products":[{"product_id":"calcium-d-glucaraat-1500mg","title":"Calcium D-Glucarate 1500mg | 180 Capsules | Vit4ever","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCalcium D-Glucarate from Vit4ever\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003ecalcium D-glucarate\u003c\/strong\u003e from Vit4ever, you are choosing a deliberately bare formula: a substance, without any unnecessary fillers around it. Each daily dose of three capsules provides you with 1500 mg. Convenient for those who want to expand their supplement routine and want to know exactly what is in the bottle, without having to sift through a long list of additional substances.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat calcium D-glucarate actually is\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, a substance that your body produces itself in small amounts. You can also find it in vegetables and fruit, think of apples, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts. However, the amounts in food are small, often no more than a few tens of milligrams per serving. Many people wonder if this is just a regular calcium supplement. It is not: it is all about the glucarate, the calcium is attached to it as a salt. The salt part (calcium) is in this case mainly a stable, easily dosable carrier for the glucarate molecule. Without that connection to calcium, the glucaric acid would be much less stable as a loose powder and more difficult to process into a capsule with a constant dosage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the calcium form\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium D-glucarate is a stable, easily dosable form of glucaric acid. That is why most supplements use the calcium form and not the free acid. That is where the bound calcium comes in. Per daily dose you get 222 mg of calcium, which is good for 28% of the reference intake. Calcium is necessary for the maintenance of normal bones and contributes to the normal function of the muscles. In addition, calcium contributes to normal blood clotting and normal neurotransmission. For calcium D-glucarate itself, there are no permitted health claims, so we do not mention any.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho this formula is suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThese capsules are aimed at adults who supplement consciously. The difference with many other bottles on the Dutch market lies in the quantity: 180 capsules means 60 daily doses, or two months ahead. Where you often see bottles of 60 or 120 capsules, you have a long supply at home with this, which is also practical if you do not want to keep reordering. And because there is only one ingredient besides the excipients, you know exactly what you get every day. The capsule shell is plant-based, so this calcium D-glucarate is also suitable if you eat vegan. If you divide the three capsules throughout the day, for example at breakfast and dinner, you do not have to swallow all three at once. This makes the intake more practical for many people than a single large dose in the morning.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn short: a pure formula in vegan capsules, with a clear composition and enough supply to last for a while. No bells or whistles, just a neat dosage of calcium D-glucarate that you can easily fit into your daily routine and of which you know exactly what is in it.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Vit4ever","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53728985350482,"sku":"vit4-499","price":25.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/vit4ever-calcium-d-glucaraat-1500mg-1.jpg?v=1793623861"},{"product_id":"calcium-d-glucarate-500mg-90-capsules-now-foods","title":"Calcium D-Glucarate 500mg | 90 Capsules | Now Foods","description":"\u003ch2\u003eCalcium D-Glucarate 500mg by NOW Foods\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCalcium d-glucarate\u003c\/strong\u003e is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, a substance your body produces itself in small amounts and which is also found in apples, oranges and broccoli.

D-glucaric acid is an organic acid derived from glucose and which naturally occurs in small amounts in fruits and vegetables. In supplements, it is usually offered as a calcium salt, because that provides a stable powder that is easy to dose in a capsule.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy the tetrahydrate form?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCalcium d-glucarate is sold in different forms, usually bound to calcium or sodium. NOW Foods opts for the tetrahydrate form, calcium D-glucarate bound to four water molecules. This is the most common form in supplements. The difference with the sodium variant, sodium D-glucuronate, lies mainly in the chemical structure and solubility.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eFrom fruit and vegetables to capsule\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGlucaric acid is naturally found in apples, grapefruits, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, in small amounts.

With 500 mg per capsule, this variant from NOW Foods is in the middle of that common range. The 90 capsules per bottle align with a use of 3 capsules per day, i.e., 30 days per package.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"NOW Foods","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53943000858962,"sku":"Now-049","price":35.9,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/9006\/2812\/files\/m2tyej.jpg?v=1783410239"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.luto-supplements.nl\/en\/collections\/calcium-d-glucaraat.oembed","provider":"LUTO Supplements","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
