Glucuronolactone

Glucuronolactone is a naturally occurring compound found in various plants, particularly in the bark of the Pacific dogwood tree (Cornus nuttallii). It is a lactone, a cyclic ester, and is known for its potential health benefits. Glucuronolactone is often used in dietary supplements and is believed to support liver health, aid in detoxification processes, and promote overall well-being. It is thought to work by enhancing the body's ability to conjugate and eliminate toxins, thereby reducing the burden on the liver. Additionally, some studies suggest that glucuronolactone may have anti-inflammatory properties and could potentially support immune function. However, more research is needed to fully understand its mechanisms and efficacy. As with any supplement, it is important to consult with a healthcare provider before use, especially for individuals with pre-existing medical conditions or those taking other medications.
