Garlic
was already an established and trusted remedy when the Greek physician
Hippocrates included it in his list of favorite herbal medicines.
In fact, ancient records indicate that the pungent herb was one
of man's earliest medicines dating back some 5,000 years. Through
this long period of history, a pattern of effective uses emerged
which served to guide modern researchers in the 20th century. For
example, the Greek physician Dioscorides, who lived in the 1st century
AD, wrote of Garlic: "It doth clear the arteries." Science
has now validated this claim by proving that Garlic does indeed
lower cholesterol and triglycerides as well as help to reduce clot
formations (thrombi) in the blood. Numerous studies done within
the last 20 years verify four main activities or modes of action
for Garlic:
1)
Cholesterol-lowering
2) Anti-thrombotic
3) Mild but broad-spectrum antibiotic
4) Anti-cancer potential (specifically, the lowered risk of colon
and urinary/bladder cancers)
- In
order to produce a high quality garlic product, one must start with
a high quality raw garlic. We do at LifeSource Nutrition! We go
to great lengths to provide the best, always!
- Allicin,
once thought to be so unstable that nothing could stop its immediate
degradation to inactive compounds, is actually more stable than
originally thought. In fact, dry powdered Garlic has Allicin-producing
potential.
- Enteric
coating allows a properly produced Garlic tablet to bypass stomach
acid and deliver higher potency Garlic to the small intestine; thus,
enteric coating is a desirable product feature.
- Aging
a Garlic product to reduce or eliminate odor appears to rob Garlic
of its most valuable properties. We don’t do this at LifeSource
Nutrition!
Last
but not least is the discovery that Garlic consumption is inversely
proportional in producing benefits to wellness. In other words,
the more Garlic one ingests the lower the risk of serious illness.
This is one of the best arguments for Garlic supplementation as
a regular part of the daily diet. Most of us won't eat enough Garlic
in our food to deliver the protection we desire, so choosing a Garlic
supplement for the whole family is being "pill-wise."
