Description
Premium Allicin 20% Supplement (Garlic Extract) contains a defense molecule that has a range of biological applications. It is produced during tissue damage from the non-proteinogenic amino acid alliin in a reaction that is catalyzed by the enzyme alliinase. Allicin is physiologically active in microbial, plant and mammalian cells, where it can inhibit the proliferation of bacteria and fungi. It may even kill cells outright, including antibiotic-resistant strains like methicillin-resistant staphylococcus aureus (MRSA).
In mammalian cell lines, which includes cancer cells, allicin may induce cell-death and inhibit their proliferation. In plants the garlic extract inhibits seed germination and attenuates root-development. However, in sub-lethal concentrations, allicin has a variety of health-promoting properties, for example in lowering levels of cholesterol- and blood pressure, which may be beneficial for the heart.
The use of garlic itself go back to prehistoric times as there is recorded use for more than 7,000 years. While the plant is native to central Asia, it has long been used in the Mediterranean region, Asia and Africa. The Ancient Egyptians used garlic for both culinary and medicinal purposes.
