D-Glucurono-3,6-lactone（Cat No.:R010884）, also known as glucurono-γ-lactone, is a naturally occurring lactone of D-glucuronic acid. It plays a crucial role in the detoxification process by forming conjugates with toxins and drugs in the liver via glucuronidation, enhancing their solubility for excretion. Commonly found in plant gums and used as an ingredient in energy drinks and dietary supplements, it supports liver function and antioxidant defense. Typically supplied as a white crystalline powder, it is water-soluble and stable under normal conditions, making it valuable in pharmaceutical and nutraceutical formulations.
