A low odour garlic supplement that is enteric coated to ensure that garlic is not released until it reaches the intestine, preventing garlic breath. Garlic has traditionally been used to relieve the symptoms of mild respiratory tract infections such as colds, flu, bronchitis and sinusitis.

Features and benefits

• Low odour
• Helps to relieve symptoms of colds, flu, bronchitis and sinusitis including bronchial coughing, nasal congestion and a runny nose

How it works

Garlic has traditionally been used for the relief of chronic bronchitis, respiratory catarrh, recurrent colds, and flu. Garlic has been shown to have antibacterial, antiviral, antifungal, antiprotozoal and antiparasitic properties.

Garlic contains sulphur compounds which are concentrated in the bulb. These sulphur compounds include alliin, a sulphur-containing amino acid. Alliin is responsible for many of the beneficial actions of garlic. Alliin is converted by enzymes naturally occurring in garlic to the active compound allicin, when garlic is cut, crushed or chewed. Allicin is responsible for the characteristic smell of garlic, and the biological activity of garlic lies in its ability to produce allicin.
