Calcium D-Glucarate or CDG is a combination of calcium and glucaric acid. This supplement helps in eliminating harmful substances in the body and lowers abnormally high level of hormones that may cause cancer. It attaches itself with toxic chemicals and cancer-causing hormones in the body which is then excreted in the bile. Glucaric acid is naturally produced by the body in the liver but in extremely low levels, because of this a bacterial enzyme called beta-glucuronidase could break the bond between the glucaric acid and the hormone or toxic chemicals which causes the body to reabsorb the toxins. Taking Calcium D-Glucarate can prevent this from happening. CDG can be found in fruits and vegetables such as apricots, bean sprouts, cabbages, broccolis, apples and Brussels sprouts. Studies show that taking Calcium D-Glucarate supplements aids in detoxifying the body of carcinogens and toxins. It may also help in preventing breast, colon and prostrate cancers.

Diindolylmethane, 3,3’ – Diindolylmethane or DIM is derived when broccoli and cauliflower are ingested and digested. These two cruciferous vegetables, and others, like cabbage, kohlrabi, wasabi, watercress and mustard seeds, to name a few, all include a powerful androgen receptor antagonist for cancer, like the human prostate cancer. This component is called indole-3-carbinol and is currently very much under investigation for the antioxidant, anticarcinogenic, and antiatherogenic properties. Diindolyl Methane, or rather indole-3-carbinol, has an uncanny ability to alter the estrogen metabolism, which makes it very interesting for the body building circle of enthusiasts. It supposedly increases the good estrogen, 2-hydroxyestrogen, while at the same time diminishing the count of bad estrogen, the 16-hydroxyestrogen. The effects seem to be rejuvenating on testosterone and estrogen levels, while promoting weight loss.

Green tea furthermore contains carotenoids, ascorbic acid – more commonly known as Vitamin C, Minerals and tocopherols. While there are many proven qualities of green tea extracts, some lesser researched effects have been observed, like reduction of LDL cholesterol, increasing the levels of norepinephrine, weight loss and additional antioxidant qualities.
