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.
