What is Garlic ?
Some of these compounds are present in garlic in a latent form, which are activated when garlic cloves are crushed or digested. Bio-Garlic is a formulation containing garlic powder dried in a special way to preserve the activity of these latent chemical compounds prior to their activation within the body.
From its well known anti clotting properties, its cholesterol and triglyceride reducing properties and high blood pressure reduction.
More recent
research has shown how it helps strengthen the immune defence system, suppresses
the damaging effects of free radicals, helps reduce the risk of prostrate and
bowel cancer, combats infections of the mouth, throat, respiratory passages,
intestinal tract and urinary system and helps ward off colds, flu and cold
sores.

What does Garlic do ?
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 normal 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 and 15% reduction in LDL cholesterol.
Garlic derived compounds also help maintain normal cardiovascular
function, in particular blood pressure, platelet adhesiveness, and clotting.
Garlic derived compounds have anti-microbial activity which helps maintain
normal immune function.
