Calcium d-glucarate 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. NOW Foods uses the substance in the tetrahydrate form, with 500 mg per vegetarian capsule. The bottle contains 90 capsules, sufficient for 30 days at the recommended intake.
Calcium d-glucarate is a salt consisting of calcium and D-glucaric acid. 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.
Calcium 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.
Glucaric acid is naturally found in apples, grapefruits, oranges, broccoli and Brussels sprouts, in small amounts. With the recommended intake of three 500 mg capsules, you get 1500 mg of calcium d-glucarate per day.
Calcium d-glucarate supplements are usually sold in dosages of 200 to 600 mg per capsule. 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.
Each capsule contains 500 mg of calcium d-glucarate in the form of tetrahydrate.
At the recommended intake of 3 capsules per day, this jar will last you approximately 30 days.
The capsule is made from cellulose instead of gelatin, making the product suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
NOW Foods exclusively uses the tetrahydrate form of calcium d-glucarate, without any admixture of the sodium variant, sodium D-glucuronate.

Calcium d-glucarate is not a calcium supplement in the usual sense. The calcium in this substance primarily serves as a binding partner for D-glucaric acid. The amount of elemental calcium you receive through this product is too small to be considered a source of calcium; for that, it is better to choose a calcium carbonate or calcium citrate supplement.
Take 1 vegetarian capsule 3 times a day, as stated on the label. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose.
If you are taking medication, consult a doctor or pharmacist first.
Yes, 500 mg per capsule is within the common range of 200 to 600 mg that you will find with most brands. With the recommended 3 capsules per day, you reach 1500 mg per day, the lower end of the range typically mentioned as common in most product descriptions.
Glucaric acid occurs in small amounts in foods such as apples, grapefruits, oranges, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. Your body also produces small amounts of it naturally.
Both are salts of related acids. Calcium D-glucarate is the calcium salt of D-glucaric acid, while sodium D-glucuronate is the sodium salt of D-glucuronic acid. This product contains only calcium D-glucarate.
