Vista Nutrition Super Garlic
Garlic is an antioxidant that has been traditionally recognized for its cardiovascular support, helping to promote healthy cholesterol and blood pressure. Garlic may support immune function and promote healthy flora in the colon.
Garlic is known universally as the a stinking rose. Garlic cloves themselves have a neutral smell, but when the cells are ruptured by cutting or pressing, they release an enzyme called allinaise, chemically changing the inherent alliin into allicin, a sulfur-containing molecule. That results in the familiar heady, pungent garlic smell that is a mainstay in kitchens around the world. These sulphur molecules are absorbed into the bloodstream and lungs, escaping through exhaled air and perspiration, ultimately producing garlic breath.
Marked by its paper-like skin, there are over 300 varieties of garlic grown worldwide. One of the most common varieties is American garlic, with white, papery skin and strong flavor. Italian and Mexican garlic have a pinkish-purple skin and slightly milder-flavored varieties.
