Product Information

• Name: L-Idaric acid
• Brand: Biosynth
• Description: L-Idaric acid is a novel anti-inflammatory agent that is a derivative of the endogenous compound d-glucuronic acid. It has been shown to have anti-inflammatory effects in animal studies as well as in human cell cultures and it has been shown to be safe for use in humans. L-Idaric acid inhibits the production of inflammatory mediators, such as prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and cytokines. L-Idaric acid also inhibits the activity of β-glucuronidase, which may be responsible for its ability to prevent the degradation of glucuronic acid derivatives.
