Quantum Nutrition Labs Garlic Complex 60 Capsules Allicin Complex

WHAT IS OUR TOP IMMUNE SUPPORT PRODUCT? Many turn to Garlic Complex for their needs. This product offers a broad-spectrum formula that showcases a premier quality garlic extract with a high, concentrated allicin content. This formula elegantly supports both immune and cardiovascular health. It is known for its Allicin OrganoSulfur Complex which yields the unique nutrient, allicin, a legendary organosulfur immune compound found in garlic – in a concentrated form. Allicin is activated in garlic when the fresh bulb is pressed, causing it to release the catalyzing enzyme, alliinase, which quickly converts alliin to the immune-active compound, allicin.

This formula also delivers European wild garlic, called Bear Garlic, the original non-hybrid garlic (not kitchen garlic) used for thousands of years. The third complex, Botani-Pro Blend, contains a full spectrum of botanical agents and their naturally occurring phytonutrients to create an optimal nutritional effect.

ALLICIN – THE ACTIVE FACTOR IN GARLIC Concentrated allicin is the result of a process which produces living-source allicin from pure garlic extract – for the first time in recent history. Allicin is not garlic – but the fully potent, active factor in garlic in concentrated form, never before available in supplement form until recently.

When raw garlic cloves are crushed, chopped, or chewed, an enzyme known as alliinase is released. Alliinase catalyzes the formation of sulfenic acids from cysteine sulfoxides. Sulfenic acids spontaneously react with each other to form unstable compounds called thiosulfinates. In the case of alliin, the resulting sulfenic acids react with each other to form a thiosulfinate known as allicin. This is what gives garlic extract with its high allicin content its broad spectrum immune support and immunomodulating properties. Thus, garlic with a high allicin content is known to be a highly significant immune support agent.

GARLIC’S PROPERTIES REDISCOVERED Garlic may well be one of the most famous of all plants in human history, revered for its wide-ranging health benefits – dating back to use by the pharaohs and many other ancient cultures such as the ancient Greeks, Romans, Egyptians, Babylonians and Chinese civilizations.

Presently, garlic is one of the cornerstones of the popular, heart-healthy Mediterranean diet, perhaps one of the world’s healthiest diets, that is high in fruits, vegetables, whole grains and legumes. Garlic may be one of the components of this diet that is chiefly responsible for the relatively good cardiovascular health of many individuals living in the Mediterranean area.

The beneficial effects of garlic may be due in part to garlic’s unusual concentration of sulfur-containing compounds (1-3%). For over a century, some of garlic’s key sulfur compounds called allyl sulfides have been known. However, not until 1944 was the chief, highly immune-active compound of garlic discovered – the oxygenated sulfur compound named allicin, derived from the Latin name of the plant, Allium sativum.

The debate about whether allicin existed in a crushed garlic clove vs. its absence in whole, uncrushed cloves was resolved in 1947, when researchers (Stoll and Seebeck) found high amounts of an oxygenated sulfur amino acid present in raw garlic cloves. Alliin was found to be the precursor that is converted to allicin by the action of an enzyme called alliinase, also present in garlic cloves.

Although alliin has no antimicrobial properties itself, when a typical garlic clove is crushed, the alliin is transformed via the alliinase enzymes into the biologically active allicin molecule – within seconds of crushing a clove. Fascinating cross-section studies show that the substrate, alliin, and the enzyme, alliinase, are located in different compartments of the same clove. When the clove is crushed, the alliin and alliinase then come in direct contact with each other to rapidly form allicin.

CONCENTRATED ALLICIN – EXQUISITE IMMUNE SUPPORT Garlic Complex provides concentrated amounts of allicin from garlic extract to help promote healthy immune support. At last, a full spectrum, botanical formula made from premier quality garlic extract with notable amounts of allicin to assist you and your family with exquisitely thorough immune and cardiovascular support -- just when you need it.

YOUR NEXT STEP INTO… THE BEST OF 21ST CENTURY IMMUNE SUPPORT

• The "Quantum Nutrition Effect" - When quantum-state nutrients are combined together, their effect is far greater than the sum of their individual benefits. Quantum-state products are the result of our relentless search to find not only the best grown phytonutrients worldwide, but also those with quantum energetic properties.
• No Tagalongs – You will never find artificial flavorings, colors or preservatives in our products. Magnesium stearate is a questionable and undesirable agent that is often used and we have eliminated it from our manufacturing process. Talcum powder is often used as a filler and flow agent; it is a suspected carcinogen and will never be found in our products.
• Ingredient Testing – QNL requires that scientific laboratory testing is performed on all raw and finished products. These tests include Bioenergetic testing, HPCS (High Performance Crystal Spectroscopy), HPLC (High Performance Liquid Chromatography), AA (Atomic Absorption), Microbiological Analyses and DNA testing.
• Violite Packaging - Protecting Prescious Nutritients. Our bottles are custom-color manufactured (dark violet color) to block light-damaging frequencies. We use phthalate-free, nontoxic PET bottles because they can achieve a better induction seal than glass to block oxygen.
