Calcium D-Glucarate from Vit4ever
With calcium D-glucarate 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.
What calcium D-glucarate actually is
Calcium 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.
Why the calcium form
Calcium 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.
Who this formula is suitable for
These 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.
In 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.
