FAST FACTSFAST FACTS

Why Garlic and Other AlliumVegetables?• Allium vegetables (garlic, onion, chives, leeks,

etc.) have been used worldwide for thousands ofyears as foods, spices and folk medicines.

• Scientific studies show that allium vegetablessupport cardiovascular health, enhance normalcellular growth and inhibit harmful microbes, aswell as acting as powerful antioxidants.

• Allium vegetables provide relief of sinusitis,symptoms of hayfever and catarrh, andtemporary relief of coughs.

Why GNLD Garlic Allium Complex?• Broad-spectrum, whole-food supplementation. Garlic Allium

Complex features extracts and concentrates from a variety ofAllium vegetables - garlic, onion, chives and leeks - linked innumerous research studies to good health and assures yourdaily intake of diverse, beneficial nutrients from the Allium"family".

• Unique process to protect natural enzymes. The enzymeallinase is required for the formation of allicin, the criticalsulfur compound responsible for many of garlic's healthbenefits. GNLD's special technology protects allinase fromdestruction by stomach acid.

• Guaranteed allicin content. Two tablets provide 4.2 milligramsof active allicin from high-yield garlic extracts. Researchstudies show that this amount - equivalent to that found inone clove of fresh garlic - effectively promotes health.

• Nutrient family approach. Includes not only allicin, but alsoother bio-active compounds (for example, oil-solublesubstances from fresh garlic and onion), which exist naturallyin Allium vegetables and work together in different ways tobenefit health.

• Targeted Delivery Technology. Enteric coating maximises theproduct's stability and absorption and insures the formationof active allicin in the intestines. As a result, Garlic AlliumComplex does not cause repeating or garlic breath!

• Contains rosemary, a potent, antioxidant herb which helpsprotect the capsule contents.

• Convenient. Provides an easy way to reap the benefits ofAllium vegetables without having to eat a fresh clove of rawgarlic every day.

Deliver AllicinGNLD's Garlic Allium Complex is superior to its market competitors, many ofwhom deliver little or no active allicin. We are so confident that our product iswithout peer that we dare the competition to brave the “GNLD Garlic Challenge.”For a garlic supplement to be effective,it must meet at least four criteria:

Have you ever wondered why an intact garlic clove or onionbulb is relatively odourless compared to the diced vegetable?The answer is in the chemistry!

In garlic, unbroken cloves contain a stable, odourless chemicalcalled alliin which has no known biological activity. Cutting orcrushing garlic, however, causes the release of an enzymecalled allinase, which quickly converts odourless alliin to allicin,the smelly sulfur compound that gives garlic its characteristicscent and taste.

Allicin, although very unstable, accounts for:• most of garlic's anti-fungal and anti-bacterial activity;• most of its anti-parasitic action in the intestinal tract;• some of its lipid-lowering and anti-clotting effects in the

blood;• some of its ability to promote healthy cellular growth.

To reap the benefits of allium vegetables, you have to eatthem consistently and in quantities that can cause painfulor socially undesirable consequences. Supplementationcan help, but only if you choose the right supplement. Forexample, aged garlic contains only 5% of the activecompounds in raw garlic. Cooked or deodorised garlicdoes not contain any significant allicin. The allicin in somesupplements can also be destroyed by the acidicconditions in the stomach!

Targeted Delivery Technology.Laboratory tests prove that enteric-coated Garlic AlliumComplex is insoluble in stomach acid. When the capsulereaches the alkaline environment of the intestines,however, it rapidly dissolves to deliver bio-activecompounds for maximal stability and absorption.Targeted delivery avoids the breath odour and aftertasteproblems that can follow consumption of Allium foods.
