Estrogen Detoxification - CALCIUM D-GLUCARATE
From the womb to the tomb, we are subject
to the effects of estrogen, the potent
female hormone that shapes our lives.
Variations in estrogen levels can have a dramatic
effect on our cellular development.
Source Naturals is proud to introduce a
nutrient that may help the body remove
excess estrogen, thereby giving relief
to estrogen-sensitive tissues. Calcium
D-glucarate is currently the subject
of numerous clinical studies. It is
proving to have great potential for
addressing health
concerns closest to our heart.
One of life’s most delicate balancing acts is found in the ebb and flow of hormones that is constantly taking
place in the human body. These messenger chemicals are fundamental to the process of life. Produced
by endocrine glands, hormones travel throughout the body, communicating with each other as they
direct cellular activity. For example, the hypothalamus gland monitors hormone levels in the body. It signals the
pituitary gland, advising it to send messages to the ovaries to either produce or stop producing estrogen.
Estrogen is an extremely powerful hormone whose
activity can be measured in parts per trillion.
Therefore, it doesn’t take much to create an imbalance.
Like all hormones, estrogen communicates with a cell
by docking to a particular receptor site on that cell’s
membrane. If there is an excess of these estrogen-sensitive
receptors, or an excess of circulating estrogen in the
bloodstream, normal cellular metabolism can be
altered. Another problem is that estrogen receptors are
not very particular; they will accept many chemicals –
both natural and synthetic – other than estrogen.
How the body removes excess estrogen
One of the processes by which estrogen and estrogenic
compounds are metabolized and broken down is
through glucuronidation. In the liver, they’re bound
to glucuronic acid and then excreted in the urine or
feces. This process can be disrupted by an enzyme
called bet ...
