Researchers and natural health experts agree that the active ingredient in garlic is a substance called Allicin. The characteristics of allicin are quite unique, because allicin is actually created when garlic is chopped or crushed. But most methods of creating garlic supplements result in the allicin being destroyed.
That is because the process used to create garlic oil and powder supplements actually destroys the majority of Allicin derived from fresh ground garlic. What these supplements do is rely on the human stomach to set off the chemical reaction that creates Allicin. They call this "allicin potential". But Allicin production will not actually result from these supplements unless conditions in the gut are perfect. And even then, the amount of Allicin produced is minimal.
Not a single garlic supplement available today, except for Allicin Plus C, contains enough allicin to be medicinally effective.
Most garlic supplements do not actually contain Allicin because the processing techniques they use to create garlic oil and powerders destroys the Allicin normally created when raw garlic is diced or crushed.
However, British scientists have developed a special process that makes it possible to extract, stabilize and concentrate the natural Allicin that results from chopping or crushing natural garlic. This process makes it possible to create a garlic supplement with a high concentration of Allicin. This special process is used in the production of Allicin Plus C . Each capsule of Allicin Plus C contains 300 mg of pure allicin powder, which is the equivalent of 30 to 40 cloves of fresh crushed garlic.
Considerable study has shown that Allicin is effective in improving the immune system as well as staving off colds flue and viruses along with other fungal and bacterial infections.
