Garlic

Garlic: Information

Garlic (Allium sativum L) is a relative of the onion, and has been used in foods and medicinally for centuries. In today's world, garlic is widely available in supplement form. It is thought that the sulfur compound allicin is the element in garlic responsible for its medicinal qualities, and this compound is the main ingredient of many garlic supplements. However, "aged garlic" supplements contain other water-soluble sulfur containing compounds not related to the production of allicin, and are thought to be gentler and less odorous.

Garlic's Health Benefits

Although the medicinal properties of garlic have not been confirmed by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), garlic supplements are used for the following: lowering cholesterol, reduction of arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries), reduction of blood clotting, lowering blood pressure, cancer prevention, liver protection, boosting the immune system, lowering blood sugar levels, as an antibiotic, antiviral, and antifungal agent, and topically for corns, warts, calluses, ear infections, muscle pain, nerve pain, arthritis, and sciatica. More research is needed to confirm these claims.
