Allicidin®: Unlocking the Power of Allicin for Comprehensive Health.

When it comes to top-tier immune support, many turn to Allicidin®. This broad-spectrum formula is crafted with a premier quality garlic extract, boasting a high concentration of allicin – the legendary organosulfur compound revered for its immune-boosting properties. Allicidin® expertly supports both immune and cardiovascular health.

At the heart of this formula is the Allicin OrganoSulfur Complex™, which delivers this unique nutrient in a concentrated form. Allicin is activated in garlic through a fascinating natural process: when the fresh bulb is pressed, the enzyme alliinase is released, rapidly converting alliin into the highly active immune compound, allicin.

Allicidin® also features European wild garlic, or Bear Garlic, a non-hybrid variety with a rich history of traditional use. Complementing this are a full spectrum of botanical agents and their naturally occurring phytonutrients for an optimal synergistic effect.

Allicin: The Concentrated Powerhouse of Garlic.

Allicidin® provides concentrated, living-source allicin from pure garlic extract – a remarkable achievement in recent history. It's crucial to understand that allicin is not simply garlic; it's the fully potent, active factor in garlic, delivered in a concentrated form previously unavailable in supplements.

The formation of allicin is a precise biochemical reaction. When raw garlic is crushed, the enzyme alliinase is released, catalyzing the formation of sulfenic acids from cysteine sulfoxides. These unstable sulfenic acids then spontaneously react to form thiosulfinates, including allicin. This rapid process is responsible for the broad-spectrum immune support and immunomodulating properties of high-allicin garlic extract.

Rediscovering Garlic's Ancient Wisdom.

Garlic holds a significant place in human history, with its wide-ranging health benefits recognized by ancient civilizations like the Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, and Chinese. Today, garlic remains a cornerstone of the heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, potentially contributing to the excellent cardiovascular health observed in the region.

Garlic's beneficial effects are largely attributed to its unique concentration of sulfur-containing compounds. While allyl sulfides were known for over a century, the discovery of allicin in 1944 revealed the chief, highly immune-active compound. The debate about allicin's presence in crushed vs. uncrushed garlic was settled in 1947 with the discovery of alliin, the precursor converted to allicin by alliinase upon crushing.

Fascinating research shows that alliin and alliinase are stored in separate compartments within the garlic clove. Crushing brings them together, leading to the rapid formation of biologically active allicin within seconds.

Allicidin®: Exquisite Immune Support Through Concentrated Allicin.

By providing concentrated amounts of allicin from premier quality garlic extract, Allicidin® offers exquisitely thorough immune and cardiovascular support. This full-spectrum botanical formula is designed to assist you and your family with comprehensive health benefits, precisely when you need them.

Frequently Asked Questions

1. What is Allicin?

Allicin is an organosulfur compound that is produced when garlic is crushed or chopped. It's known for giving garlic its distinctive smell and taste.

2. How is Allicin Formed?

Allicin is not naturally present in whole garlic. It's created through an enzymatic reaction when the enzyme alliinase comes into contact with the compound alliin. This happens when garlic is damaged (crushed, chopped, or chewed).

3. Is Allicin Stable?

No, allicin is quite unstable and breaks down quickly, especially when exposed to heat. This is why cooking garlic can reduce its allicin content.

4. What are The Main Health Benefits Associated with Allicin?

• Heart Health: May help lower cholesterol and blood pressure, and improve blood flow.
• Antimicrobial Properties: Shows promise in fighting bacteria, viruses, and fungi.
• Antioxidant Effects: Helps protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
• Potential Anti-Cancer Properties: Some research suggests it may have a role in preventing or slowing the growth of certain cancer cells.
• Immune System Support: May help strengthen the immune system.

5. How Does Allicin Benefit Heart Health?

Allicin may help relax blood vessels, improve circulation, and potentially reduce the buildup of plaque in arteries. It also mentions its potential to lower both LDL ("bad") cholesterol and triglycerides.

6. Can Allicin Help Fight Infections?

Yes, Allicin's potent antimicrobial properties. It has shown effectiveness against a range of pathogens, including some antibiotic-resistant strains.

7. How Does Allicin Act As An Antioxidant?

Allicin is believed to neutralize harmful free radicals in the body, which can contribute to cellular damage and various diseases.

8. Is There Evidence That Allicin Can Help with Cancer?

Allicin may have anti-cancer effects, including inhibiting the growth of cancer cells and potentially inducing apoptosis (programmed cell death) in these cells.

9. How Can I Get The Most Allicin From Garlic?

To maximize allicin content, it's recommended to crush or chop garlic and let it sit for 5-10 minutes before cooking or consuming it. This allows the allicin to form before it's degraded by heat. Eating raw garlic is also a way to get more allicin.

10. Are Allicin Supplements Effective?

Allicin supplements are available, but their effectiveness can vary depending on how they are formulated and whether they contain active allicin or its precursors.

11. Does Cooking Garlic Destroy Allicin?

Yes, cooking garlic significantly reduces its allicin content because allicin is heat-sensitive. The longer and hotter the cooking, the more allicin is lost.
