this never almost happened to me but it definitely increases my libido?I use it once every 2 weeks and notice it clears any excess liver congestion. It can lower libido quickly though, which I assume is due to crashing estrogen.
Calcium D Glucarate seems to work with lowering xenoestrogens .. I use daily 500MG - 1000MG so far no side effects yet not sure if it helps with liver.
1) Estrogen Levels
The liver removes excess hormones from the blood, including estrogen and estradiol, as well as estrogen-like chemicals found in the environment (xenoestrogens). Several weeks of high-dose calcium-D-glucarate lowered blood estradiol by 23% in animals [23].
In one clinical trial with 95 women, a combination supplement containing DIM (diindolylmethane) and calcium-d-glucarate – along with several other plant-based nutrients – improved estrogen metabolism after 28 days [24].
Based on this effect and clinical experience, some health professionals recommend calcium-D-glucarate supplementation at 1000 mg – 3000 mg daily for conditions involving high estrogen levels, such as PMS, fibroids, and polycystic ovary syndrome [25, 1].
However, there’s not enough clinical evidence to support this practice.
Excess Estrogens & Breast Cancer
Glucaric acid may help clear excess estrogens, and it was shown to reduce tumors in rats with hormone-dependent cancers, such as cervical and breast cancer [33, 34, 35, 36].
Purported Benefits With No Evidence
Some people report benefits for:
- Weight control
- Hair loss
- Acne
