The Virtues of Garlic

Garlic has been recognized around the world for centuries as a spice, a food, and an herbal remedy. Sometimes called the “four thousand-year old health food,” garlic has been used for a variety of health conditions-and modern science is now proving what folklore has taught all along.

Garlic has tremendous value as an antioxidant and protects the body against free radicals. It also helps to maintain a healthy heart and circulatory system. You hear about the benefits of garlic all the time, and today hundreds of scientific studies report the powerful health-giving benefits of garlic.*

Garlic can Help…

Promote a Healthy Heart

Taken regularly garlic and garlic supplements can help promote a healthy heart in several important ways. Along with a healthy diet and exercise, garlic helps maintain normal cholesterol and triglyceride levels with persons with normal levels. Garlic is also beneficial for the healthy flow of blood through the circulatory system.*

Protect Against Free Radicals

Garlic is a powerful antioxidant against free radicals-highly unstable molecules that affect the body tissues and are believed responsible for many of the effects of aging.*

Choosing the Best and Most Potent Available Garlic Supplement

It is important to know that not all garlic products are alike. Choose products that keep the whole, fresh garlic clove intact. This maximizes its powerful properties, enzymes and sulfur-containing compounds (alliin, allinase, and allicin), trace minerals and micronutrients. Capsules are the better choice and should contain one organically-grown clove of whole garlic.
