Benefits of Garlic

Garlic has many benefits for cardiovascular health. Garlic intake is shown to decrease levels of LDL cholesterol, the cholesterol responsible for cholesterol plaques and the storage of fat, and triglycerides.Garlic also increases levels of HDL cholesterol, which is responsible for moving stored fat to the liver for processing and excretion from the body. HDL cholesterol protects against plaque formation. Garlic preparations also lower blood pressure and improve blood circulation. Thus garlic can be used to prevent stroke and heart attack.

Garlic has beneficial effects on blood sugar. Insulin is released from the pancreas, in response to sugar intake. It allows the intake of glucose by the cells as a fuel source. Without insulin sugar stays in the blood, and cells become starved for energy, as happens in the condition diabetes. Eventually the pancreas becomes worn out and does not produce as much insulin or the body's cells become intolerant after years of high insulin levels. Garlic can increase the release of insulin and help the body's cells respond to insulin. Garlic's sulphur compounds are also antimicrobial against bacteria and fungi. Therefore garlic may be used to treat colds, yeast infections and help individuals who have low immune functioning.

NOW Super Odorless Garlic also includes:
Hawthorn - a cardiotonic herb which means that it supports the functioning of the heart and vascular system. It is a unique herb because it can be used for both high and low blood pressure. Its blood pressure regulating effect is mediated by several components of the herb. Hawthorn, especially the berries, contains bioflavinoids. Bioflavinoids repair damaged vessels and dilate vessels in the heart and extremities. This regulates blood pressure and also improves heart pain (angina) and leg pain (peripheral vascular disease) that are due to lack of blood flow. Hawthorn also influences the angiotensin-converting enzyme, an enzyme that regulates blood pressure by balancing the amount of fluid in the vessels. Other antioxidants in hawthorn, called proanthocyanidins, decrease spasms in the blood vessels and reduce the build up of plaque in the arteries. Finally hawthorn improves heart functioning without altering the amount of blood going through the heart. This makes hawthorn a good choice for the treatment of mild heart failure.

Cayenne - is also known as red pepper or hot pepper. Cayenne increases circulation, both centrally and in the extremities. It does this by activating type "C' neurons. These neurons increase the contractility of the heart and dilate vessels. Cayenne's circulatory effects are helpful for diabetic circulatory compromise, Meniere's disease, heart disease and low blood pressure.
