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.
