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 info
