What the AI looks for in Garlic Herbal Supplements
- Preparation type
- Choose aged garlic extract or a standardized allicin product with a stated yield Garlic powder, oils and extracts differ greatly in active compounds.
- Allicin release
- Powder products should be enteric-coated and state their allicin potential Stomach acid destroys alliinase, so little allicin forms otherwise.
Brands that matter
- Kyolic: Aged garlic extract with a large research base.
- Allimax: Stabilized allicin.
- Garlique: Enteric-coated garlic powder.
What to avoid
- Garlic oil macerates presented as equivalent to standardized extracts.
- Stopping blood pressure medication to switch to garlic.
