In modern people's diet, fried food, delicious barbecue or bacon and second-hand smoke are indispensable. It is actually full of wisdom to think about China people's dietary concept. You must add a piece of garlic to roast sausage. Or use garlic paste as seasoning, which is actually beneficial to remove carcinogenic factors that may be eaten or inhaled by mistake. Another problem of chewing raw garlic is that most digestive tract mucosa is difficult to accept the stimulation of sulfide in raw garlic, which may also lead to allergic reaction and stomach burning discomfort in severe cases. But if you can accept chewing two or three cloves of medium-sized fresh garlic (about three to five grams) every day without causing any gastrointestinal discomfort, it is still worth encouraging.
Choosing a health food supplement made of garlic may be the first choice for busy modern people who pay attention to interpersonal communication (to avoid bad breath)! However, we should pay special attention to the fact that the active and effective components of garlic are easily destroyed in the process of manufacturing and refining. Can these pills be swallowed to keep garlic healthy? Consumers should choose carefully! According to the dosage forms of garlic essence supplements on the market at present, they can be roughly divided into early garlic oil soft capsules, hard capsules filled with garlic, allicin precursors and alliinase. Divided into tablets, and then coated with enteric-coated tablets (only soluble in small intestine, insoluble in stomach). It is particularly noteworthy that it is difficult to quantify the amount of allicin in general allicin supplements, and only the third product that makes allicin precursor into enteric-coated tablets will indicate the microgram (microgram) of allicin on the package.
However, the garlic powder hard capsules with general standard quality should contain 65,438+0.3% active allicin. For about 300 milligrams of garlic hard capsule supplement, it should release about 3900 micrograms of allicin. As for garlic oil soft capsule supplements, most of them contain very low dose of active allicin, and the garlic essence in the oil dosage form should be Joni Aho ene. However, the content of Joni Aho ene in garlic oil extracted naturally is low, and most manufacturers will dilute garlic oil to below 10% (the remaining 90% is salad oil and other vegetable oils), so the garlic essence supplement in soft capsules should be one with less obvious effect. Why doesn't garlic oil soft capsule contain active allicin? Remember that allicin loses its activity when it exceeds 56 degrees Celsius, and it is difficult to avoid exceeding 56 degrees Celsius in the manufacturing process of garlic oil in soft capsules? As for the hard capsules of garlic powder, especially the products in the form of enteric-coated tablets made of old garlic or garlic essence supplements, besides the active allicin with good effect, most of them also contain a small amount of Joni Aho ene. In fact, Joni Aho alkene is also converted from allicin. Therefore, the concentration of active allicin is a really effective index to judge the quality of products.
How much should I eat to be effective?
As for how much garlic essence should be eaten to play its role? In lowering cholesterol and preventing cardiovascular diseases, it is the most standard to take 900 mg garlic powder hard capsule (containing about 12000mcg of allicin) half an hour after meals (about equal to three garlic essence supplements, 300 mg each). According to clinical experiments, after such a dose is taken continuously for half a year, the total blood cholesterol can be reduced by 65438 02% on average.
If you are a healthy person and want to take garlic essence as a skin care product, you might as well take 600 ~ 900 mg every day, which can not only prevent cardiovascular diseases, but also make blood circulation smoother and your body more refreshing and comfortable.
