HOW DOES ALLI-C DIFFER FROM OTHER GARLIC SUPPLEMENTS??

When it comes to garlic supplements, is this the same? The answer is a resounding NO!

Research shows that the key active medicinal constituent in garlic is a powerful plant chemical called allicin. Not a single garlic supplement available today, except for Alli-C™, contains enough allicin to be medicinally effective.  But why?

Garlic oil and powder supplements are produced by distilling fresh garlic, and then diluting it with other substances.  This process destroys the majority of allicin in garlic.  Therefore, the  supplements rely on the human stomach to convert some of the remaining garlic components into allicin.  Although a few garlic powder supplements are able to generate some allicin within the stomach, the amount converted, if any is converted at all, is dependant upon optimal stomach conditions.  The process not only is unreliable, it can take several hours, and it also can lead to unwanted garlic odor.

New Alli-C™ doesn’t need to wait to be converted into allicin, because each capsule of Alli-C™ contains an abundance of allicin powder.

New Alli-C™ provides its superior benefits, without producing any of the odor commonly resulting from inferior garlic supplementation.

Advanced Technology

British scientists have developed a proprietary process through which the naturally occurring allicin in garlic is extracted, stabilized and concentrated.  The end result is the extremely potent and effective product: Alli-C™.

Each capsule of Alli-C™ contains 270 milligrams of allicin powder, plus 60 milligrams of vitamin C, and 40 milligrams of bioflavonoids.

Each capsule of Alli-C™ is equivalent to 20 to 30 cloves of fresh, crushed garlic!

No other garlic supplement on earth provides the proven benefits of Alli-C™.

Allicin Content of Alli-C™ vs. Other Garlic Supplements

Alli-C™	270.00 milligrams of allicin powder
Kwai™*	1.8 milligrams*
Garlique™*	5.0 milligrams*
Pure Gar™*	10.0 milligrams *
Garlimax™*	5.5 milligrams*
Garlic Powder™*	3.0 milligrams*
Kyolic™*	No claim
*Note: There is no real allicin in these products. The allicin content listed is based on the product’s “potential” to create allicin.  This is a purely theoretical yield of allicin.

Proof That Alli-C™ Really Works!

Several strains of potentially deadly staphylococcus bacteria have developed resistance to common antibiotics like penicillin, streptomycin and vancomycin.  In one study, resistant strains of Staphylococcus bacteria were placed into a laboratory dish. Pure allicin powder subsequently was placed in the center of the bacteria in the dish. The results were dramatic: allicin powder killed all of the bacteria in the dish!  (41st Interscience Conference on Antimicrobial Agents & Chemotherapy, American Society for Microbiology, December 2001.)

In a 12-week, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, allicin powder was found to reduce the incidence of the common cold by over 50%, and allicin powder also was found to reduce the duration of symptoms in those patients already suffering from colds. (Advances in Therapy, July-August 2001, Volume 18, pages 189-93.)

HOW IS ALLI-C MADE?

New ALLI-C is made in the same way that allicin from fresh garlic is formed, the patented process ensures that large quantities of potent, stable liquid allicin can be produced. The nutrient is then tested, dried and, for your convenience, encapsulated and bottled.

How Much Alli-C™ Should I Take Each Day? 

Research indicates that just one capsule of Alli-C™, taken each day with a little cold liquid during your main meal, will provide enough allicin to support good general health and well-being.

Having MS and having no effective immune system, I am certain that taking the allicin garlic capsules over the past winter months has helped to protect me from colds and flu. I am pleased to inform you therefore, that alli-c with 100% allicin will be a definite part of my future daily intake. Thank you so much! – Patricia I have been taking the allicin capsules you sent me recently and would like to say how much better my Hay Fever symptoms are. It was after just a couple of days that I noticed the difference. – J.A.  I have suffered with ulcerative colitis and related intestinal disorders since I had an accident several years ago. At best, I was able to “manage” my illness through diet and certain healing herbs. When I was given some Alli-C to try, I noticed within a few days that there was a marked improvement in my condition. I am now pain free for the first time in 3 years and can eat virtually anything I want. After living for so long with varying degrees of pain, I am overjoyed that I was introduced to this wonderful product line. I am SO JAZZED to be feeling really well again…Marilynn S  From the double blind study performed by the Garlic Information Center in the UK: I have been well over the last 90 days. Although at times, felt I had a cold coming on, it never developed. – SCR/014  I must have been really lucky not to suffer even a cold in 3 months! – S153/11  Finished capsules and no colds or side effects, feel excellent. – S157/11  Overall less colds in the time I have been taking this supplement – let’s hope its not the placebo! – S121/11  Apart from a cold at the beginning of the course, I have only slight colds. All my colleagues and family had to take time off work! – M020/11  For the past two weeks 80% of the workforce had colds. I was not affected. – S164/11  I have not contracted a cold although I have been in contact with numerous people with one. – S107/11  I work in a large office of 60 people and colds and flu have been raging recently . . . but I have not had so much as a sniffle. – S135/11  Thank you for keeping me flu free this winter. – S040/11  Considering the cold, wet weather I feel the garlic has been a good help. Hair and skin have improved and I also haven’t had trouble with my sinuses. All in all, I feel very well. – S057/11

ASTHMA
Garlic extracts traditionally have been used to help improve circulation. It is thought that allicin is garlic’s key component involved in the vasodilation of the small capillaries and alveoli in the lungs. Taking up to three allicin powder capsules per day should help improve circulation and breathing capacity. Allicin powder has been used successfully on volunteers as young as seven. Since asthma is an allergic condition, the allicin should help control the immune system and, thereby alleviate some of the symptoms. 

ATHLETE’S FOOT
Break open a capsule of allicin powder, and dissolve it in about 20 ml. of water. Soak a cotton pad in the liquid. Bathe the afflicted area with the soaked cotton pad. Repeat this process a few times per day for up to seven days. Your problem should clear within a week. Mr. C. G. from East Sussex, UK, states: “Diluting allicin powder and using it on my recurrent athlete’s foot problem has really worked. It does not dry out the skin and, therefore, [it] prevents painful cracking.” 

BACTERIA
Many types of bacteria, especially those that infect the throat, ear, and chest, are sensitive to allicin. Allicin also has been shown to kill E. Coli and Helicobacter pylori in the gastrointestinal tract. Helicobacter pylori is known to be the cause of the majority of stomach ulcers, and treatment requires triple antibiotic combination therapy. “Take just three capsules of allicin powder per day for three weeks, and the bacterium will never return,” according to Mr. J. H. from Bexhill-on-Sea, UK. 

CANCER
Recently, researchers in Pennsylvania have shown that by injecting a compound called diallyl disulphide (formed when allicin breaks down in the stomach), tumors can be reduced by half. Another garlic compound (S-allylcysteine) can stop cancer causing agents from binding to human breast cells. Allicin breaks down in the body to form diallyl disulphide. In America, population studies have shown an inverse association between vegetable and fruit consumption and colon cancer risk. Few of these studies have focused on women, but in Iowa a large group of 41,837 women, aged 55-69 years, were monitored for cancer incidence for five years via the State Health Registry. The results showed that consumption of garlic was inversely associated with risk of developing colon cancer. 

CHOLESTEROL
Medical researchers in America and Oxford, UK, recently stated that garlic supplements have an important part to play in the treatment of high cholesterol. Overall, a 12% reduction in total cholesterol can be expected. The reduction normally will be evident after only four weeks of treatment. Mr. S. B. took four allicin powder capsules a day for six weeks. He saw an amazing 40% reduction in his cholesterol level. 

COMMON COLD
Please read the information listed under Latest Research. It clearly shows that allicin helps prevent the common cold, and it also helps speedy recovery and it inhibits further infection. 

DIABETES
It has been reported that garlic can reduce blood sugar levels. This recently was confirmed by a study in Germany, where investigators found an 11% reduction in blood glucose levels in the garlic-treated group. Whether garlic can increase insulin sensitivity is unclear. However a recent study at The Royal United Hospital Bath and The Royal South Hampshire Hospital in Southampton, has shown that allicin can have a beneficial effect on harmful blood fats. 

DIGESTION
Allicin can remove various poisons, which are secreted by bacteria. It is particularly effective against Escherichia coli-related poisons, which can cause stomach upsets. Interestingly, garlic is the only antibiotic, which also encourages digestion and protects the body against poisons produced by the infection. Furthermore, allicin is unlikely to have any detrimental effect on good stomach bacteria. 

EYES
The bacteria responsible for a common eye infection are well known. Concern is growing about the number of resistant strains of bacteria developing. Allicin is an excellent antibacterial agent, and it has been shown that one of Alli-C’s™ key component, allicin, can kill a wide selection of common (and some not so common) bacteria. Mrs. P. I., from Sheerness in Kent, was struck down with a serious eye infection. Her doctor prescribed a course of antibiotics. Unfortunately, the prescribed antibiotics had no effect on the eye infection. Mrs. P. I. tried taking two capsules of allicin powder for 2-3 days and was delighted to “see” her eye infection clear up very quickly. 

HAY FEVER
Garlic has been used for many years as a natural remedy for asthma and other allergic conditions. “Taking allicin powder has definitely helped my hay fever,” states Miss Z. H. of Tenterden, Kent, UK, “I can now relax on fresh-cut grass without getting an attack, and it is nice to actually smell the grass!” Miss Z. H. started by taking four allicin powder capsules every day, and now is taking only two capsules per day. Having had hay fever since she was a teenager, Miss Z. H. is delighted not to have to resort to pharmaceutical agents that often have side effects. 

HYPERTENSION (HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE)
High blood pressure is described as the silent killer. It is important that blood pressure levels are kept as near to normal as is possible. Garlic, in certain forms that can produce plenty of allicin, has been shown to significantly reduce both systolic and diastolic blood pressures. 

MULTIPLE SCLEROSIS
It is well known that MS sufferers have very compromised immune systems. One of the key features of Alli-C™ is its ability to improve the performance of the immune system. It achieves this by enhancing circulation and by preventing minor infections from occurring; minor infection which could put stress on the body and weaken the immune system. Mrs. P. I. from Sheerness in Kent, UK, is convinced that allicin powder really helped her this last winter: “Although I suffer from MS, since taking allicin, this is the first time that I have not suffered from a cold all winter. I feel that this is due to allicin powder, and [I] will be taking it on a daily basis throughout the year.” 

SINUSES
It was established at Johns Hopkins Medical School in 1999, that the most common cause of chronic sinusitis is fungal infection. Many thousands of people have had operations to clear and unblock their sinus cavities, but unfortunately the problem nearly always returns. Since allicin is proven to kill fungal infections, it is not surprising that Alli-C™ is able to unblock sinus infection. 

YEAST AND FUNGUS
Some of the fungi that are susceptible to garlic include Coccidioides, Aspergillus, Histoplasma, Trichophyton, Candida, and Cryptoccocci. The most common fungal infection of adult AIDS patients in America is candidiasis of the mouth, throat, and esophagus. Candidal organisms are very sensitive to allicin. 

Alli-C™ has revolutionized garlic technology. It is the only garlic supplement which unlocks the super-healthful properties of fresh-crushed garlic! 

OTHER GARLIC SUPPLEMENTS ARE FAILING IN CLINICAL STUDIES, WHILE FRESH-CRUSHED GARLIC CLOVES CONTINUE TO PRODUCE DRAMATIC HEALTH BENEFITS. HERE’S WHY: 

Did you know that a fresh-crushed clove of garlic is more powerful than all garlic supplements except Alli-C™? 

That’s right, because fresh crushed garlic cloves mix an enzyme called allinase with allian to produce allicin – the primary active ingredient in garlic. Garlic supplements only pretend to do this. They call it allicin-potential. The garlic supplement companies (yes, all those famous brands sold by TV news anchors and celebrities – the brands that start with letters K, G, and P) really have little or no allicin in them at all. The labels on the garlic supplement packages say the products have the potential to produce allicin, but do they really deliver any allicin? 

There is little to zero allicin in other garlic supplements, just the ingredients that might produce allicin. If the environment in the gastric tract is perfect, a small amount of allicin might be produced after taking a garlic capsule. 

Chemically, allicin is known as 2-propene-1-sulfinothioc acid S-2-propenyl ester; thio-2-propene-1-sulfinic acid S-allyl ester.2. Allicin is produced by an enzymatic reaction when raw garlic is either crushed or somehow injured. The enzyme, alliinase, stored in a separate compartment in garlic, combines with a compound called alliin in raw garlic and produces allicin.

Alli-C Ingredients:

270 mg of Allicin
60 mg Vitamin C
40 mg of citrus bioflavonoid
