Garlic may offend your nose, but it makes your heart very happy. Its strong, pungent odor comes from compounds that support heart health. The high concentration of sulfurous compounds in garlic provides antioxidant protection against toxic free radicals. Antioxidants such as superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase, and glutathione peroxidase are abundant in garlic and are among the most potent antioxidants found in herbs and plants. These, along with other compounds such as trace minerals and enzymes, help support normal, healthy cholesterol levels, a strong immune system, and normal, healthy blood clotting.

Although many people consume garlic regularly, cooking often destroys critical compounds. Therefore, a daily supplement is recommended to support cardiovascular and immune health and to benefit from garlic?s potent antioxidant properties.
