A healthy circulation is important in keeping a fit and active lifestyle. Garlic Plus consists a mixture of garlic extract and Vitamin C to support healthy circulation and to maintain general health. With Vitamin C, it also provides antioxidant support to the body.
Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is the edible bulb from a plant in the lily family. It has been traditionally used as medicine and spices for thousands of years. Garlic contains a number of sulfur compounds such as allicin.
The World Health Organization (WHO) recommends 2-5g of fresh garlic or 300-1,000mg of garlic extract daily to exert health benefits to our bodies.
When fresh garlic is chopped or crushed, allicin, the primary active compound in garlic that confer health benefits, is released. Allicin is highly unstable and easily degrades during food preparation and cooking.
Using patented technology, Garlic Plus is processed using enteric coating to ensure the health benefit of allicin can be delivered optimally to the body.
What is allicin?
The health benefits of garlic likely arise from a wide variety of components, possibly working synergistically. Amongst these, allicin is the primary active compound, which gives garlic its distinct odour and taste. The health benefits of garlic include:
- Acts as antioxidant
- Supports a healthy circulation
- Stimulates the production of nitric oxide, a naturally occurring gas
- Helps to boost the body’s immune system
- Increases the body’s resistance
What is enteric coating?
For some of us, eating garlic can be challenging because of its pungent odour. The enteric coating is a protective barrier that is designed to hold the garlic tablet together and prevents it from being broken down in the stomach before entering the small intestine, where it is most effective. With enteric coating, the garlic tablet is able to pass through the stomach intact without getting destroyed for optimal absorption. Enteric-coated garlic tablets offer an easy way to obtain the benefits of garlic without the unpleasant garlic breath.
