Calcium D-Glucarate assists the detoxification pathway of glucuronidation, part of the Liver's Phase II system. Many substances that would normally be detoxified through other pathways first, will nevertheless eventually be cleared by glucuronidation, although it's slower than they are when they're working right.
Removing excess estrogen
This supplement specifically helps the body excrete estrogens a vital need in our environment which is so full of xenoestrogens, chemicals that act as estrogens in the body. (For example, phthalates: the chemicals used to keep plastic flexible. Does the smell of vinyl bother you?)
When my Liver Detox Profile showed deficient glucuronidation, I started taking much more Cal D-G. My tolerance for just about every chemical exposure improved.

I am not advising anyone to do what I'm doing. Your body may react entirely differently from mine. I am not a doctor, and do not know enough about these supplements to recommend them.
