Garlic, 120 tab.

DESCRIPTION

Many plants produce volatile and non-volatile biologically active ingredients – phytoncides, which ensures their immunity against various diseases. Phytoncides were discovered by B.P. Tokin in 1928. The most powerful antibiotic properties are specific for the phytoncides of garlic, onion, horseradish, mustard, aloe, juniper fruit, birch buds, bird-cherry leaves, eucalyptus leaves and some other plants.

The beneficial properties of garlic phytoncides are manifested by direct antibacterial effect (inactivation of critical bacteria enzymes), as well as indirect effect through stimulating cellular immunity. Combining these effects, garlic provides antiviral, antifungal and antibiotic action.

Overall influence of garlic on the immune system depends on the content of allicin, allyl disulphides, calcium, copper, essential oils, germanium, iron, magnesium, phosphorus, selenium, sulfur, potassium, unsaturated aldehydes, zinc, and vitamins A, B1, B2, C.

Garlic reduces the severity of symptoms and duration of cold-related diseases by 80% and reduces the risk of re-infection by 90%.

• 2 tablets contain at least 6 mg of allicin (during grinding two components of the garlic - alliin and alliinase - interact with each other forming allicin).
• Peppermint flavor eliminates the bad breath. Flavoring agent is extracted from natural plants.
• When a tablet is in the acid environment of the stomach, the protective coating preserves all the nutrients.
• The coating dissolves in the intestine where all the nutrients are absorbed.
• Provides the necessary amount of allicin, which is the main active component of garlic.
• The product doesn't contain artificial coloring, flavoring or preserving agents.

Due to its simplicity and availability, garlic is a leader among plant foods with respect to antimicrobial and antifungal effect. Prevention of cold-related diseases is mostly built on this effect of garlic.

The world practice has shown how vulnerable we are to new pathogenic species and how vital the nonspecific (general) immunity is. The nonspecific immunity is the general preparedness of our immune system for response. Allicin is the main active agent of garlic that directly targets the microorganism cells. NUTRILITE™ Garlic also contains selenium and zinc. The two minerals are necessary for the functioning of other vitamins with immunotropic effect: C, A, E and D.

Candida fungi just “hate” allicin. Thriving in the favorable environment of the intestine, this fungi type transforms from the yeast form to a more harmful hyphal form. It turns to look like a bush with rigid branches that just perforate the mucous membrane of the intestine. In the presence of certain enablers, such as elevated temperature or plenty of simple carbohydrates, the fungi displace the normal micro flora and “win” new spaces.

Allicin blocks hypha formation, but it is not the only benefit of garlic for the human health. It also strengthens the oxidative stress in the fungi, both Candida and others, such as micromycetes or Aspergillus.

Another important effect of garlic is cholesterol normalization: reducing the number of low-density lipoproteins (“bad cholesterol”) and the total cholesterol. The low-density lipoprotein level (“good cholesterol”) increases by 10% at average, while the level of free triglycerides decreases. For this reason, garlic is successfully used in the treatment of atherosclerosis, metabolic syndrome, excess weight and lipid profile disorders.

But even knowing about the garlic’s benefits for health, people do not tend include it in their diet. The reason is quite clear: its specific smell. NUTRILITE™ Garlic, administered as 1–2 pills a day, allows to get the maximum benefits and avoid the specific features attributable to natural garlic. In the periods of virus and bacteria hazards, as well as for people with weak immunity, the supplement use is especially relevant.
