(please read this important notice concerning supplement medical claims)

The properties of fresh garlic have been known for centuries. The problem that has arisen in presenting garlic as a supplement is the instability of the active substances. These active ingredients are created when a garlic clove is crushed.

By gently freeze-drying fresh garlic to create an active concentrate, rich in allicin, alliin and several breakdown constituents from which the benefits of garlic are derived, it is possible to present a high potency garlic concentrate with its active components intact.

· Garlic is nature’s antibacterial and antifungal food
· Dietary garlic has been shown to reduce platelet aggregation (blood stickiness) and is beneficial for the circulation
· Garlic has been shown to lower cholesterol and triglyceride (fat) levels and increase high density lipoproteins (HDL, which is the beneficial form of cholesterol)
· Garlic has antifungal activity against a wide range of yeast and fungi, including Candida Albicans
· An active concentrate of freeze-dried garlic which is rich in both allicin and alliin
· Biotin is involved in inhibiting the alteration of Candida Albicans to its active mycelial form
· One-a-day food form supplement
· Suitable for vegetarians and vegans

There are many anti-fungal preparations available, all of which are best taken in conjunction with a low yeast and low sugar diet. Some of the most effective are as follows:

Caprylic acid (e.g. BioCare Mycropryl) is a short chain fatty acid found in human breast milk and coconuts that has been found to help establish the growth of beneficial bacteria in the gut. Calcium and magnesium caprylate favour the growth of the lactic acid bacteria in the gastrointestinal tract.

Oxygen has antiseptic qualities and is antagonistic to yeast organisms such as Candida Albicans. Double bonded oxygen has antibacterial and antifungal properties. (BioCare’s Oxypro, or Good For You Corporation Aerobic Oxygen).

Grapefruit Seed Extract has antiparasitic, antibacterial and antifungal properties, and helps to maintain the correct balance of intestinal flora.

Other herbs containing antifungal properties include Pau d’Arco tea and goldenseal.

Probiotics such as L.acidophilus and B.bifidum help reduce the proliferation of yeast organisms such as Candida Albicans. L.acidophilus helps reduce the colonisation of unfriendly bacteria by producing natural antibiotic substances on the intestinal wall.
