Allimax Allicin Garlic Supplements
Is All Garlic Created Equal?
When it comes to garlic
supplements, the answer is a resounding NO!
Research
shows that the key active medicinal constituent in garlic is a powerful
plant chemical called allicin. Why is allicin so important, well
take a look at the list of properties attributable to allicin for improving
the health of the human body.
Not
a single garlic supplement available today,
except for Allimax,
contains enough allicin to be effective.
But why?
Garlic oil
and powder supplements are produced by distilling fresh garlic, and
then diluting it with other substances. This process destroys
the majority of allicin in garlic. Therefore, the supplements
rely on the human stomach to convert some of the remaining garlic components
into allicin. Although a few garlic powder supplements are able
to generate some allicin within the stomach, the amount converted,
if any is converted at all, is dependant upon optimal stomach conditions. The
process not only is unreliable, it can take several hours, and it also
can lead to unwanted garlic odor.
Allimax allicin
is made from fresh, raw garlic. Heads of garlic are specifically selected
to ensure that they contain significant enzyme activity (allinase enzyme).
Garlic heads are split into cloves, which are left unpeeled and then
subjected to crushing, filtration and a temperature controlled extraction
process designed to produce pure liquid allicin dissolved in water.
No chemical solvents are used. The allicin amino acid in fresh garlic
is subjected to complete conversion by the allinase enzyme and to ensure
a large volume of active allicin is harvested. The volume of allicin
produced is directly related to the enzymatic activity. more

"allicin" and his most recent published data has shown how
to prevent and treat the common cold using an allicin containing supplement.
