Glucuronic acid sodium is a polysaccharide that exhibits anti-inflammatory activity, supporting the healing of ulcerative colitis. Glucuronic acid sodium also enhances the intestinal barrier by upregulating tight junction proteins like ZO-1 and Occludin. Furthermore, Glucuronic acid sodium plays a role in modulating gut microbiota by increasing beneficial bacterial populations while suppressing harmful ones.

ChEBI:Sodium glucuronate is an organic molecular entity.
