Background
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.
