What is Garlic Extract?
Garlic extract has been used medicinally for thousands of years. Many different cultures have learned to use garlic for its benefits to the immune system and its ability to fight infections. Nonetheless, Allicin powder, the major biologically active component of garlic, is not found in fresh garlic. The chemistry of garlic is extremely complex. Fresh garlic contains an enzyme called “allinase” and “alliin”, which are contained in different parts of the garlic plant. This unique structure is designed as a defense mechanism against microbial pathogens in the soil. When fungi or other soil pathogens attack the cloves, the membrane of those compartments is destroyed, and within 10 seconds, all the alliin is converted into a new compound called allicin.

Why do humans need Allicin supplements?
If we eat garlic directly in hope of getting allicin, the allinase will just be destroyed by the stomach’s pH before any significant amount of allicin can be produced.
For example, in one study, subjects were given 25 grams of raw garlic.? Their blood and urine were checked in the 1 to 24 hours afterward and no significant amounts of allicin or its transformation products were found.?? This suggests that allicin in raw garlic is not bioavailable.
That’s disappointing, but you probably weren’t going to eat 45+ cloves of garlic per day anyway! So the best way is to eat Allicin rather than garlic.
Allicin side effects, safety
Allicin is safe with hardly any side effects except in high dosages(more than 25mg/day), it may thin the blood and those taking Coumadin or blood thinners should be cautious. There is a possibility of allergic reactions to this?herb?in rare cases.
