Description

What Is It Used For?

Nature’s Field Odor Free Mega Garlic provides supplemental garlic extract and is marketed to support:

• General cardiovascular health

Garlic supplements may have modest effects on certain cardiovascular risk factors in some people, but results vary. This product should not be used to treat high blood pressure, high cholesterol or infections, or as a substitute for prescribed medication.

How Does It Work?

Garlic contains sulphur containing compounds, including compounds associated with allicin, which are studied for their potential biological effects. Garlic supplements may influence some cardiovascular markers, but the effects depend on the preparation, dose and individual.
The product is formulated to reduce the typical garlic odour. The exact allicin standardisation should be confirmed from the current product label.
