There are many studies on the health benefits of garlic (cardiovascular health, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immune health). The key compound associated with the various health benefits of garlic is allicin.
Allicin, the key compound in garlic responsible for its health benefits, is formed when garlic is crushed or chopped. This action activates the enzyme alliinase, which then converts alliin, a sulfur-containing compound, into allicin. When consuming garlic for health reasons, it is best to crush the garlic and eat it raw, as heat degrades allicin. Some garlic varieties, particularly the porcelain-type, have higher levels of allicin than others.
We've designed this 3-month Health package for your convenience. It includes 3 lbs of garlic varieties with the highest allicin levels, which gives you enough garlic to eat one clove raw daily for three months (approximately 90 cloves).
