ONE-A-DAY GARLIC TABS 500 mg (180 tabs) $19.95

PRODUCT DESCRIPTION: The premium-quality Chinese garlic in ONE-A-DAY GARLIC TABS is naturally grown, hand-peeled to prevent bruising and premature allicin loss, and processed by a proprietary method that stabilizes the powder without the use of chemical preservatives or additives. The powder is freeze-dried, concentrating it three-fold, and nitrogen packed to preserve allicin potential until the time of tablet manufacturing. An enteric coating is applied to the tablet in order to guarantee stomach acids do not prevent attainment of the total allicin potential, and providing an odor-free product. One tablet contains all the natural compounds normally provided by fresh garlic cloves, including alliin, allicin, thiosulfinates, gamma-glutamylcysteines, and sulfur; it contains a minimum total allicin potential of 6,000 mcg (from 500 mg of garlic powder), equivalent to 1,500 mg of fresh garlic.

NUTRITIONAL CONSIDERATIONS & APPLICATIONS: Garlic has a long history both of culinary and health enhancing use, and in the last 40 years has been the subject of over 1,000 research studies. These studies have investigated the following effects of garlic: 1) antibiotic effect, 2) cardiovascular effects (including cholesterol lowering), 3) anticancer effect, 4) effects on blood sugar, 5) effectiveness as a heavy metal antidote/chelator, 6) potential alleviation of intestinal problems, and 7) other biological and chemical effects. These research studies show that garlic: 1) lowers serum cholesterol and triglycerides while raising HDL-cholesterol, 2) reduces the "stickiness" of platelets, making blood circulation more efficient, 3) causes a mild reduction in blood pressure, 4) is antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiparasitic, and exerts action against organisms causing yeast infection, and 5) when regularly consumed is associated with lowered risk of stomach and colon cancer. It is well accepted that allicin is the component of garlic responsible for most of its health benefits. Allicin is formed when the garlic enzyme alliinase comes into contact with alliin (the principal active component of garlic). Alliinase is destroyed by stomach acids, so garlic powders subjected to stomach acid are ineffective. Enteric coatings that break down in the small intestine at higher pH (but not under the acidic conditions of the stomach) are thereby required for maximum benefit of a garlic supplement.

COMPOSITION: 1 enterically-coated tablet provides the following percentages of the Daily Value:

The Total Allicin Potential of 1 tablet is 6,000 mcg (minimum) which is equivalent to 1,500 mg of fresh garlic. Total Allicin Potential is measured both by alliin content and the relative activity of the enzyme alliinase.

DIRECTIONS: As a dietary supplement take 1 tablet daily with food, or as directed by a health care professional. Swallow whole for maximum effectiveness.
