Optimized Garlic

Garlic has been valued for centuries for its multi-faceted benefits.^1-6 It has antioxidant action and can boost the level of natural glutathione, an important cellular detoxifier.⁷ The compounds allicin, oligosulfides, A. ursinum and A. sativum found in garlic support healthy platelet function.^1,5,6,8

More Than Just a Seasoning

Published studies demonstrate garlic’s immune-supporting properties and numerous other health benefits. Garlic is reported to stimulate the immune system, including macrophage activity, natural killer cells and lymphokine-activated killer cells (LAK cells). It has also been shown to increase the production of IL-10 and to decrease the production of TNF-alpha, IL-1alpha, IL-2, IL-6 and T-cell interferon-gamma (IFN-gamma).⁹ Clinical studies show that as much as 5–10 grams of garlic extract is effective in supporting human immune responses.^9,10

Optimized Garlic capsules contain 10,000 ppm allicin potential, a key health-promoting component of non-aged garlic. In fact, studies have highlighted allicin’s involvement in immune response and oxidative stress.^6,11
