800 mg 200 capsules, Code 357, $29.95

Garlic is considered by many to be the wonder drug among botanicals. Worshipped by the ancient Egyptians, researched by Albert Schweitzer and labeled by the Soviets as the Russian Penicillin, garlic remains in high regard today by the countless number of people world-wide that use this incredible herb on a daily basis.

Research has shown garlic can protect the body from various pollutants and heavy metals, but more important is its ability to prevent certain kinds of cancer. The National Cancer Institute has developed a $20.5 million program to study plant-derived compounds in common foods, including garlic, that may have cancer prevention effects. Scientists speculate that one reason garlic may protect against cancer is its ability to help the body inactivate and eliminate cancer-causing substances without damage. Some also believe that garlic may prevent cancer by enhancing the body’s immune system.

While there is much agreement that garlic has a wide range of disease-fighting benefits, a debate has been going on for years concerning whether aged garlic extract (Kyolic) is better than high-allicin garlic extract (Pure-Gar and other brands).

Both forms of garlic will:

• Slightly reduce cholesterol when taken in large doses
  
• Significantly inhibit abnormal platelet aggregation
  
• Reduce cancer risk by neutralizing dietary mutagens and inhibiting free radicals
  
• Help to remove iron and other toxic heavy metals from the body
  
• Protect neurons from aging damage
  
• Boost immune function
  
• Inhibit oxidation of LDL and VLDL cholesterol
  
• Lower blood pressure in some people

Pure-Gar (not odor-free)
Garlic supplements can be found at a wide range of prices and potencies, some not even standardized and containing no certifiable amounts of active ingredients. The Foundation makes available Pure-Gar’s highest potency extracts which contain 10,000 ppm of allicin, a key component of non-aged garlic involved in disease prevention.

While two Pure-Gar capsules contain about the same amount of garlic extract as five capsules of Kyolic Formula 102, scientific studies have shown that in several important ways the two different extracts are not comparable. For those seeking to lower cholesterol or blood pressure by taking garlic, however, Pure-Gar capsules would appear to be the least expensive way to accomplish this by providing sufficient amounts of garlic as supplement capsules.

In addition to potent amounts of garlic extract, this Pure-Gar product contains the chelating agent EDTA (ethylene-diamine-tetra-acetic acid) for additional heavy-metal chelating and anti-thrombotic benefits.

Contains soybeans. This product contains NO milk, egg, fish, peanuts, crustacean shellfish, tree nuts, wheat, yeast, gluten, corn, or rice. Contains NO sugar, and no artificial sweeteners, flavors, colors, or preservatives.
