Glucuronic Acid and the Alpha-Gal Friendly Diet

Glucuronic acid is an oxidized form of glucose that is naturally present in the liver and other tissues of animals. It plays a significant role in detoxifying the body by conjugating with substances like drugs, pollutants, and hormones, making them more water-soluble and easier to excrete. In food and cosmetics, glucuronic acid derivatives are often used for their moisturizing and skin-conditioning properties.
