The body is then better able to get rid of various toxic chemicals and excess hormones that might stimulate tumor formation. Studies in animals have shown that supplementing with calcium D-glucarate prevents the development of experimentally induced cancers. Calcium D-glucarate is available in capsules and tablets. Calcium D-glucarate is not an essential nutrient, and thus no deficiency state exists. Manufacturers of calcium D-glucarate recommend a daily intake of 200 to 400 mg.
Cancer is a serious disease.
Although preliminary research with calcium D-glucarate is promising, its real value has not been sufficiently determined at this time. No side effects have been reported with calcium D-glucarate. It is therefore possible that taking calcium D-glucarate could increase the elimination of certain drugs or hormones from the body, thereby reducing their effectiveness. If you are taking any prescription medication, please consult your physician or pharmacist before taking calcium D-glucarate. At the time of this writing, no evidence of drug interactions with calcium D-glucarate was found in the medical literature.
