About This Product

Vita-fit Oxoamidin Odourless Garlic is a high strength garlic. Just one capsule of Oxoamidin is equivalent to eating 6000mg (6 grams) of fresh garlic, but without the odour normally associated with garlic.

Garlic has proven effects in destroying some harmful bacteria and viruses which cause colds, flu and infections.

Over the last few years several well-conducted medical investigations have been conducted on the effects of garlic on high blood pressure (hypertension). Generally a drop of 12-30 millimetres in the upper blood pressure and 7-20 millimetres in the lower blood pressure was found with regular administration of garlic to patients with raised blood pressure. People with normal blood pressure obtained a smaller drop in their blood pressure .


Adults - Take 1 capsule per day as a general dietary supplement or up to 3 capsules for infections and colds.

USES OF GARLIC

THE IMMUNE SYSTEM: Many scientific studies concentrated on the antibacterial, antiviral and antifungal activity of garlic. In the first world war, garlic was used topically to control the infection of wounds. Pasteur (1858) and Lehmann (1930) were the first to present modern scientific evidence for the antibacterial effects of garlic. Since then many scientific studies have focused on these particular properties of garlic.

Hughes and Lawson (1991) found antibacterial and antifungal activities in garlic and garlic supplements. They linked this activity to certain sulphur compounds present in garlic, in particular allicin, a compound formed when garlic is crushed. Candida albicans was one fungus the garlic compounds were found to be active against (1).

Weber et al. found antiviral effects of garlic against viruses including herpes and rhinovirus (responsible for the common cold). Fresh garlic and polar fractions were used in this experiment.

Garlic has proven effects in destroying some harmful bacteria and viruses which cause colds, flu and infections.

HEART DISEASE; In this area, research has been conducted on the effect of garlic on cholesterol levels, fibrinolytic activity and the aggregation of blood platelets.

The American Journal of Medicine reports a study in which 42 healthy adults took either 300mg of standardised garlic powder in tablet form three times a day, or a placebo. After 12 weeks there was a significantly greater reduction in serum total cholesterol and LDL-cholesterol in those taking the garlic than in those taking the placebo. A review covering experiments using fresh garlic has found consistent results - garlic causes an increase in fibrinolytic activity (the breakdown of blood clots), inhibition of platelet aggregation and a lowering of cholesterol levels .

BLOOD PRESSURE: Over the last few years several well-conducted medical investigations have been conducted on the effects of garlic on high blood pressure (hypertension). Generally a drop of 12-30 millimetres in the upper blood pressure and 7-20 millimetres in the lower blood pressure was found with regular administration of garlic to patients with raised blood pressure. People with normal blood pressure obtained a smaller drop in their blood pressure (6).

OTHER REASONS TO TAKE GARLIC: Garlic is among the few herbs with universal usage and recognition. It contains the minerals selenium and germanium which enhance the beneficial effects of garlic.

The incorporation of selenium into an antioxidant in the body may help explain some of the claims for using garlic to inhibit cancer cell formation. The use of garlic against various forms of cancer has been recorded in ancient Egypt, Greece, Rome and China.

Garlic has also been used to kill intestinal parasites, worms and some bacteria, as well as externally on ringworm.

Vita-Fit Oxoamidin Odourless Garlic contains parsley and fennel so that these odourless capsules are even more admissible. As well as enhancing the antibacterial and antifungal properties of garlic these herbs have aromatic and carminative properties that disguise any lingering odour or aftertaste that maybe present in the garlic.
