Garlic has achieved outstanding results in new scientific research.

Recommended Intake: 1 tablet daily, to be taken during a meal.

Garlic is a member of the onion (Allium) family, and is used (in fresh or dried form) as a source of characteristic sulphur containing chemical compounds (e.g. allicin, which is responsible for the odour of garlic), that have various actions within the body. Some of these compounds are present in garlic in a latent form, which are activated when garlic cloves are crushed or digested. Bio-Garlic is a formulation containing garlic powder dried in a special way to preserve the activity of these latent chemical compounds (particularly alliin and allinase) prior to their activation within the body.

When garlic is crushed or digested within the intestinal tract, the sulphur containing amino acid derivative alliin is converted by the enzyme allinase (also present in garlic) into allicin, which is the most important of the active substances present in garlic. The active compounds in garlic help maintain healthy blood lipid profiles; total cholesterol levels are reduced by approximately 10% (by mediating cholesterol synthesis in the liver), with a 15% increase in HDL cholesterol and 15% reduction in LDL cholesterol. Garlic derived compounds also help maintain healthy cardiovascular function, in particular blood pressure, platelet adhesiveness, and clotting. These compounds also have anti-microbial activity which helps maintain healthy immune function.Garlic extract has powerful broad-spectrum antibacterial and antifungal activity, including effective action against Candida species and Helicobacter pylori. Garlic extract inhibits the growth of Candida albicans directly via inhibition of cellular protein, nucleic acid and lipid synthesis, disruption of cell wall integrity, and stimulation of cell death by increased oxidative stress. Garlic also stimulates the activity of immune system cells such as leukocytes and macrophages against Candida albicans.

Each tablet of Pharma-Nord Bio-Garlic contains 300mg of dried garlic powder, providing 4.5mg of alliin (2.1mg allicin equivalent). Tablets are entero-coated to ensure passage through the stomach and dissolution in the intestine, enabling maximum bioavailability of the active garlic principals within the body.

Pharma Nord
Pharma Nord, a privately owned limited company, is one of Europe’s largest manufacturers of preventive dietary supplements and herbal remedies. It was founded in 1982 by the two current owners, Eli Wallin and Sven Moesgaard. The underlying idea of Pharma Nord was to compensate for the shortcomings of modern diet by means of dietary supplements with high a bio-availability and a documented effect.
The company develops, manufactures and markets scientifically well founded dietary supplements, herbal remedies and medical drugs based on optimal bio-availability, safety and documentation. Pharma Nord’s research database contains more than 8,000 scientific studies - including a large number of studies conducted with Pharma Nord’s own preparations. The database is the cornerstone of the entire product development. With its production facilities and company head quarters located in Denmark, Pharma Nord has a large operational field.
A cornerstone of Pharma Nord's philosophy is that all products must provide optimal bio-availability and physiological effect. This is only possible by making sure that both the raw materials selected and the production methods employed are adjusted to the manufacturing of superior quality. The result of this strategy is a range of products that has distinguished itself as a market leader in independent consumer tests and scientific studies. Over the years, Pharma Nord has established a comprehensive international network of scientists in areas such as cardiology, oncology, odontology, surgery, dietary technology and several others. This collaboration, and the ongoing dialogue with researchers, is an extremely important tool for the development of our products.
