Garlic tablets
Each tablet of Pharma-Nord Bio-Garlic contains 300mg of dried garlic powder, providing 4.5mg of alliin (2.1mg allicin equivalent). Tablets are entero-coated to ensure passage through the stomach and dissolution in the intestine, enabling maximum bioavailability of the active garlic principals within the body. Bio-Garlic is manufactured under Danish pharmaceutical control. The preparation is blister packed for maximum bio-availability.
Suitable for vegetarians and vegans.
When garlic is crushed or digested within the intestinal tract, the sulphur containing amino acid derivative alliin is converted by the enzyme allinase (also present in garlic) into allicin, which is the most important of the active substances present in garlic. The activity of the enzyme allinase is reduced by heat, hence the physiological effects of cooked garlic are reduced.
The active compounds in garlic help maintain healthy blood lipid profiles; total cholesterol levels are reduced by approximately 10% (by mediating cholesterol synthesis in the liver), with a 15% increase in HDL cholesterol and15% reduction in LDL cholesterol. Garlic derived compounds also help maintain healthy cardiovascular function, in particular blood pressure, platelet adhesiveness, and clotting. Garlic derived compounds have anti-microbial activity which helps maintain healthy immune function.
Garlic is generally well tolerated, with mild gastrointestinal disturbance or skin rash being occasionally reported. Clinical and animal studies have shown the toxicity of garlic to be very low. Garlic may interfere with the action of anti-coagulant and anti-hypertensive drugs.
