Garlic, from the Allium family, is a close relative to onion, shallots, leeks, and chives, can be used for more than just seasoning food and making buttery, oven-toasted bread amazing.

 

It is believed that the builders of the Egyptian pyramids were plied with garlic to keep their strength up.

 

But despite the bulb part of the plant being known for its medicinal uses, the name itself seems to come from the shallot-like top part of the plant, which is typically quite tight and pointy. “Gar” is the Anglo-Saxon for spear, and “lac” is for plant.

 

Even Bram Stoker, the author of Dracula likely chose garlic as a repellent of vampires based on its  use as a mosquito repellent.

 

To this day, many people plant garlic among their crops or urban gardens to prevent insect infestations.

 

Is garlic good for you?

 

The short answer is yes. Garlic bulbs contain allicin, which is released when garlic is cut. Allicin  helps maintain healthy cholesterol levels.

 

Allicin can also help with nitric oxide release in the blood vessels, thereby relaxing them and helping to bring about a drop in blood pressure. That, long term, is good for supporting heart health.

 

What is black garlic?

 

Black garlic is aged garlic. Its dark colour can be attributed to a reaction called the Maillard reaction, when amino acids and sugars react, as you might see on seared steaks or toasted marshmallows.

 

The whole bulbs are heated over several weeks, and the garlic ends up with a sweet and syrupy taste, with a hint of tang. It is also elastic and has a chewy texture.

 

The fermentation that garlic undergoes in this process alters its chemical characteristics and generally improves the concentration of bioactive compounds.

 

In this form, the amount of antioxidants in the garlic double.

 

We provide black garlic capsules.  

 

For normal immune function and no garlic burps, you can take this supplement once a day, preferably with a meal.

 

Garlic oil v garlic tablets

 

While you can incorporate garlic into your diet, some people do not appreciate the taste or smell, or may benefit from a way to ensure a regular daily dosage of a set amount.

 

Many supplements are designed to be odourless.

 

We sell Holland & Barrett Odourless Garlic 50 Capsules, and each capsule is standardised to contain 2.1mg of allicin.

 

This supplement can support heart health and help maintain healthy cholesterol levels. The capsules are odourless and there is no reflux, where the taste repeats on you in your throat.

 

The garlic extract is immersed in sunflower oil. You can take one capsule daily, ideally with meals.

 

And for garlic oil, we sell Holland & Barrett Garlic Oil With Allicin.

 

This also helps support heart health and the maintenance of good cholesterol levels. The dosage here is slightly higher, with 3.6 mg of allicin per capsule. Again though, one capsule can be taken per day, with food.

 

Finally, we also provide mixed-ingredient products, such as Bional Garlic, Olive Leaf & Hawthorn 80 Capsules.

 

These contain vitamin E and can help protect cells from damage by free oxygen radicals.

 

In this case, it is recommended that you take one capsule three times a day with a small amount of water.

FAQs
What is garlic?

You are probably most familiar with garlic as a handy ingredient, which can form the basis of soups, stews and pasta sauces. 

 

The edible bulb of allium sativum, a plant of the lily family, garlic is closely related to onions, leeks and shallots.

 

As well as tasting delicious, garlic contains potent sulphur compounds, which appear to have some health benefits.

 

These compounds, released when a clove is crushed or cut, are what give garlic is pungent flavour and smell. 

 

The most notable of these compounds is allicin. However, diallyl disulfide and s-allyl cysteine are also present and may play just as much a part in garlic’s healthy reputation.

What is garlic good for?

While garlic is highly nutritious, offering decent amounts of manganese, vitamin B6 and vitamin C with very few calories, taking an allicin garlic supplement allows you to fully enjoy the benefits of garlic, without the often overwhelming flavour.

 

When taken in certain quantities garlic extract can help support your  heart health.

Can taking garlic tablets stop me from getting a cold?

Not quite. However research suggests that taking garlic vitamins could reduce the length of a cold and may even reduce your chances of catching one in the first place.

 

This is due to garlic’s ability to support the immune system, however studies are limited and more data is needed to prove the theory.

Which garlic supplement should I choose?

While some people choose to gain the benefits of garlic through eating it in their meals or even popping a clove or two a day, most of us find it more convenient to opt for a garlic supplement.

 

An odourless organic garlic supplement is best for general use, providing all the benefits of allicin without the lasting garlic flavour and lingering odour.

 

It is recommended to check for the highest levels of allicin possible, particularly when choosing garlic for heart health.

 

Black garlic is a fermented version of garlic and contains especially high levels of s-allyl cysteine, which is more easily absorbed and used by the body.

How much garlic should I take?

At least 10mg of garlic per day for heart health, or 2000mg a day for immunity.

Who should not take garlic supplements?

Garlic is generally considered to be safe, however those who are pregnant or breastfeeding should avoid supplements, as should under 18s. 

 

Garlic may affect how fast your blood can clot so it is not recommended for anyone taking anticoagulation or antiplatelet medications or those due to have surgery within seven days.

Can taking garlic have any side effects?

As you may well imagine, taking a garlic supplement may cause breath or body odour. It can also cause headaches and dizziness or stomach pain and bloating.
