High strength odour-controlled garlic tablets, standardised to contain the active ingredient allicin which can help to lower cholesterol, reduce blood stickiness and maintain a healthy heart.
The garlic 'Allium Sativum', is related to the onion and other plants in the genus Allium. The bulb has been used for thousands of years for its therapeutic powers; in fact it has been cultivated for over 5,000 years in the Middle East.
Research suggests that garlic can help to maintain a healthy heart by helping to lower total cholesterol levels and reduce platelet aggregation in the blood which can contribute to heart disease, as well as helping to lower blood pressure. It is also thought to help maintain the body's immune defence system, which is why it's a traditional remedy for colds and flu.
An intact garlic clove contains an odourless sulphur compound called Alliin. It is only as you crush or cut a garlic clove that Alliin comes into contact with an enzyme called Alliinase, to form Allicin, the chemical thought to be responsible for the beneficial effects of garlic.
Healthspan´s garlic tablets are odour controlled to help prevent reflux and standardised to provide a high, naturally absorbed, Allicin yield. Each tablet contains the equivalent of 1200mg of fresh garlic bulb.
