If you know you need to decrease your levels of beta-glucuronidase, you can do so by establishing a healthy gut microbiome and eating a diet high in glucuronic acid. Glucuronic acid is high in foods such as apples, brussel sprouts, broccoli, cabbage, lettuce and oranges.
How is glucuronic acid formed?
Glucuronic acid is a sugar acid derived from glucose, with its sixth carbon atom oxidized to a carboxylic acid. In living beings, this primary oxidation occurs with UDP-α-D-glucose (UDPG), not with the free sugar.
How do you increase Glucuronidation?
- Citrus Fruits: limonene from the peels of oranges, lemons, limes, and grapefruit and believed to induce UGT activity.
- Cruciferous vegetables.
- Dandelion, rooibos, honeybush, and rosemary tea.
- Astaxanthin found in algae, yeast, trout, krill, shrimp, and crayfish.
