Garlic Supplements

Garlic has long been a common seasoning worldwide but did you know this ingredient goes way beyond cooking, and can be used medicinally too. However, because of its strong smell many prefer to take organic garlic supplements in tablet or capsule form rather than a powder or eating the raw crushed cloves directly.

Are Garlic Supplements good for you?

Antioxidant-rich garlic supplements have been shown to increase the number of antioxidant enzymes within our bodies. They are also credited with improving Heart Health by reducing clot production and lowering Cholesterol & Blood Pressure.

Does taking Garlic help with colds?

They might do! Studies in the past have shown that consuming raw garlic or aged garlic extract may help to effectively fight off the symptoms of a cold. It should therefore be concluded that odourless garlic tablets should be able to do the same thing, making them useful in protecting against colds & other infections.

Can you take too much Garlic?

Garlic supplements are generally well-tolerated by most individuals, but garlic is loaded with a compound called allicin, which may cause liver toxicity if taken in large quantities. Taking more than you need may also lead to a stomach upset, such as diarrhoea, so it's always important to take recommended dose on the product label or as advised by your GP.
