Biolic 5000 contains high-quality, biologically active garlic extract, the allicin content of which is standardised to 2500 µg per tablet.
Fresh garlic contains an amino acid called alliin. When the clove is crushed or chopped, an enzyme, alliinase, is released. Alliin and alliinase interact to form allicin, which is considered the major biologically active component of garlic.
Garlic contains all the essential amino acids and a large number of chemical compounds protecting cells.
Allicin is the first and major volatile sulfur compound of garlic. Many of the beneficial claims made for garlic are ascribed to allicin which have been studied widely. Allicin shows direct antioxidant activity by trapping radicals.

SUPERIOR QUALITY!!!!!
I’ve tried 2 other brands before this,, This seems to be the most potent. My brother and I take this to control blood pressure, but also support heart and immune health. There was a study on standardised Garlic @ 2500 µg per tablet to treat high blood pressure. 2500 is the magic number that after 6weeks daily, performed just as well as the leading pharmaceutical for treating high blood pressure.
