Nature's Way Garlicin Cardiovascular Health -- 90 Tablets

Nature's Way Garlicin Cardiovascular Health -- 90 Tablets

Up to 10X Better Allicin Release than Other Brands. ODOR-FREE GARLIC - with SmartRelease®. Exceeds clinically proven allicin release potency - 100% stomach acid protection - Rapid intestinal release SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH SHOWS ALLICIN IS ESSENTIAL FOR GARLIC'S HEALTH BENEFITS. To deliver the clinically proven Allicin Potency, an effective garlic supplement must have the following:. High Enzyme Activity. Garlic is unique among herbs because its active compound, allicin , is not present until the special enzyme alliinase is activated. This occurs when garlic is crushed or moistened. Garlicin® is made from superior garlic powder, specially processed to deliver maximum alliinase activity. 100% Stomach Acid Protection. In only two seconds, stomach acid completely deactivates alliinase thus eliminating the potential for allicin production. Garlicin®'s proprietary enteric-coating provides over two hours of acid protection delivering the tablet and its alliinase safely to the intestine. Rapid Disintegration. Once in the intestine, the garlic tablet must rapidly disintegrate in order to fully activate the alliinase enzyme and produce allicin - all in about 45 minutes! Only Garlicin® has been proven to disintegrate this fast and release its claimed allicin potency. Accurate Allicin Release Measurement:. Simply dissolving crushed garlic tablets in water can produce a high allicin release. But when the same tablets are tested under gastrointestinal conditions according to US Pharmacopeia test method 724A, their actual allicin release (as will be produced within the body) is significantly less. Using this more sophisticated test method, Garlicin is the only leading enteric-coated brand to meet its allicin release as stated on the label. The SmartRelease® Difference:. Garlicin's proprietary enteric coating provides 100% protection from stomach acid. Once in the intestine, Garlicin completely disintegrates in about 45 minutes providing maximum allicin release. Clinical studies show that 3600-5400 mcg of allicin per day is effective in maintaining cardiovascular health. This level is exceeded by taking two Garlicin HC tablets daily.

truly as advertised, October 6, 2007
By grandma832

"I've taken Garlicin for the last 20 years and it absolutely does not leave you with "garlic breath" or garlic taste. I've tried many and found Garlicin to be the absolute best. I was glad to see it now contains an anti cholesterol ingredient. I'm a 75 year old female and very strong and healthy."
