Garlic Freeze Dried by Pharmax 

This is the most powerful odor free garlic made worldwide. Take it daily with a meal to prevent colds, flu, infection, bacterial or fungal problems. Unlike antibiotics, this garlic will not kill off the good probiotic bacteria in your body.

The technology used to make Garlic Freeze Dried by Pharmax is the most unique worldwide. Unlike all other garlic extract products, this one is grown in sulfur rich soil in China where no growth promotants are used. It is then hand picked and hand peeled instead of machine processed in order to prevent the garlic from being crushed and activated before it is freeze dried and encapsulated. If the garlic is crushed or moistened before it is processed, it loses half its potency. Thus, the preparation of this garlic is critically important. No other garlic manufacturers actually hand pick and peel their garlic! The result of this technology yields a freeze dried garlic which is twice more active than pharmaceutical standards for garlic! The benefits of taking this garlic product daily are remarkable.

The medicinal properties of fresh garlic have been known for centuries and it has been the mainstay ‘anti-infective’ of numerous civilizations through the ages. The problem that has arisen in presenting garlic as a supplement is the inherent instability of the initial active substance, allicin, which is created when a clove of garlic is crushed. Allicin is not found, as such, within the garlic clove. Instead, when the clove is crushed, allicin is formed instantaneously from the interaction of an enzyme called alliinase on a precursor of allicin called alliin. By selecting the highest quality garlic cloves, rich in alliin and alliinase, and then gently freeze-drying them, a concentrated powder is produced which only releases the prime active allicin component when ingested and rehydrated, i.e. all of the allicin is released within the gastro-intestinal tract. In Pharmax’s Garlic Freeze Dried, this is exactly how the highest possible potency garlic is presented as a concentrate with all of the active components intact.
