(prHWY.com) July 17, 2012 - Mt. Maunganui, New Zealand -- Garlic is something that you always have in your kitchen, and it seems that you should always have it in your medicine cabinet too. Well, garlic supplements for that matter. Scientific studies on garlic say that it can be an effective remedy on wide variety of illnesses from the simple colds to debilitating heart diseases. If you're worried about the stinking smell of garlic, garlic supplements that come in capsules and pills no longer smell bad. You can take it just like your daily dose of multivitamins or meds. Among the many garlic supplements available today, how do you choose which is the best for you?
Your garlic supplement should contain Garlic's active components. Garlic is said to contain numerous potent substances that work together to produce all its positive effects on health. The most powerful of them is called allicin, which possess antibacterial, anti-viral, and anti-fungal properties. However, most garlic supplements do not contain allicin but allinase, the precursor to allicin. Allinase is converted to allicin so more allinase content also means more allicin when it is ingested. One good example of a garlic supplement that has high allinase content is Nature's Way Garlicin, made from garlic power that releases 3,200 mcg allicin.
Many experts suggest that Aged Garlic extract is one of the best garlic supplements you can ever find. They are usually made from organically grown garlic aged to perfection to eliminate its pungent odor. Aged Garlic Supplements undergo a fermentation process that increases their concentration of sulfur compounds, which are very effective in treating numerous heart diseases. A very famous example of aged garlic supplement is Wakunaga Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract sold in leading online pharmacies.
Garlic Oil or Liquid Garlic Supplements are the least effective. During the manufacturing process, it undergoes distillation where the garlic's allicin content deteriorates. The reduced allicin content of garlic oil delivers lesser potency than other supplemental forms of garlic. An effective garlic supplement should at least contain 180 mg of allicin.
Choose enteric coated garlic supplements to make sure that it will be safe from the acidic environment of the stomach and will not break down until they reach the small intestine. It is where allinase is converted to allicin and then absorbed by the body for use. Enteric coated garlic supplements are also less likely to produce gastrointestinal side effects like stomach upset.
The most expensive garlic supplements don't guarantee that they are the best. Nature's Way Garlicin and Wakunaga Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract are well known for their maximum strength and efficacy on various health conditions, and they are sold at affordable prices. More importantly, these nutritional supplements are produced by manufacturers with renowned credibility of producing high-quality supplements for consumers all over the world.
Lastly, do the basic checks on expiry date. Garlic Herb Supplements which are near expiration or passed their expiration dates may lose their potency or may produce unwanted side effects due to compromised quality.
