Garlic is a popular herbal supplement and there is reasonable evidence of the beneficial effects of Garlic in helping to lower blood lipid levels, including cholesterol, and also in helping to ´thin´ the blood. As such, its use as an aid to heart health is justified. In addition, Garlic has been used as an anti-infective by numerous civilisations throughout history due to the presence of the compound Allicin, and again evidence suggests that this may be justified, particularly as an aid to intestinal health.  

However, the evidence indicates that about 4000mg of fresh Garlic equivalent (about 2 cloves) is necessary to produce observable effects, and this is the benchmark against which products have been assessed.

Each one-a-day softgel capsule of this product contains 4.5mg of pure garlic oil derived from 4500mg of fresh garlic. This product reaches the SC Quality Benchmark for Garlic and is therefore likely to deliver the full range of expected heart health and general cardiovascular benefits. However, as this product contains Garlic oil rather than Allicin, it is unlikely to provide the additional intestinal benefits associated with Allicin. Nevertheless, this excellent product is our category winner. This product is good value, too.
