sativum

Alliin, Allinase, Allicin, vitamins A, B, C
DESCRIPTION : Garlic
is a perennial plant with white, starry flowers and bulb clusters of
individual cloves. The plant has been used for both culinary and medical
reasons. The plant has been used to protect against infections, to lower
blood cholesterol and fat levels, and to help with digestion. Modern
research has confirmed these effects. The Chinese have valued garlic for
thousands of years for its extraordinary healing properties and have
recently discovered a unique and meticulous way to process the garlic
cloves in order to stabilize the active ingredients and to maximize the
Total Allicin Potential (TAP) that reaches the consumer.
