D-Glucurone CAS 32449-92-6

D-Glucurone, chemically known as D-Glucurono-3,6-Lactone, is a white crystalline powder that is readily soluble in water. Upon entering the body, it is metabolized into glucuronic acid, which binds with toxins in the liver and facilitates their excretion.

Due to its potent anti-fatigue properties, it is extensively used in the beverage industry as a core additive for energy drinks, often formulated alongside Taurine, Caffeine, and B-Vitamins. Our production process adheres to GMP standards, ensuring high purity, low heavy metal content, and consistent crystal size suitable for various blending processes.

Physicochemical Properties

The following specifications reflect our standard Food/Pharma Grade export quality (adhering to USP/BP standards):

Applications

D-Glucuronolactone is a versatile ingredient used across multiple industries:

1. Functional Beverages (Energy Drinks):
   • Widely used as a nutritional additive to boost energy, improve mental alertness, and reduce muscle fatigue.
2. Pharmaceuticals & Hepatoprotection:
   • Used as a raw material for liver detoxification drugs (“Gantai”). It helps protect the liver from toxins and aids in recovery from hepatitis or alcohol toxicity.
3. Dietary Supplements:
   • Promotes joint health (as a precursor to chondroitin) and supports overall immune system function.
4. Food Additives:
   • Used as a nutritional enhancer in various processed foods.

Storage Conditions

• Dryness: The product is stable in crystalline form but can hydrolyze to glucuronic acid in aqueous solution. Keep strictly dry.
• Environment: Store in a cool, dry, and well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight.
• Temperature: Room temperature storage is generally acceptable, but cooler conditions extend shelf life.
• Packaging: Keep container tightly closed when not in use.
• Shelf Life: 24 months from the date of manufacture.

Safety Precautions

• General: D-Glucuronolactone is generally recognized as safe (GRAS) for use in food and beverages.
• Handling: Avoid creating dust. Inhalation of high concentrations of dust may cause mild respiratory irritation.
• Contact: Avoid contact with eyes and skin. Wear standard safety glasses and gloves during industrial handling.
• First Aid:
  • If in eyes: Rinse cautiously with water for several minutes.
  • If on skin: Wash with plenty of soap and water.
