Now Foods, Garlic Oil, 1500 mg, 100 Softgels

Now Foods Garlic Oil – the equivalent of 1500 mg garlic per capsule

Now Foods Garlic Oil is a food supplement containing garlic oil concentrate in soybean oil, in soft gel capsules. The daily dose is 3 capsules, which together contain 9 mg of garlic oil concentrate – according to the manufacturer, equivalent to 4500 mg of whole clove garlic. One capsule therefore corresponds to about 1500 mg of garlic, which is where the product name comes from. The container holds 100 softgels, or about 33 daily doses at the recommended use. The product is developed by the American food supplement manufacturer NOW Foods, a family-owned company since 1968.

What is garlic oil concentrate?

Garlic (Allium sativum) is a plant of the onion genus whose bulb has been used in cooking for thousands of years. The characteristic pungent smell and taste of garlic come from sulphur-containing compounds. Garlic oil concentrate is an oily ingredient obtained from the garlic bulb and used in very small amounts: a few milligrams of concentrate correspond to several grams of fresh garlic. In the capsule, the concentrate is mixed with soybean oil and enclosed in a soft gelatin capsule, so the taste of garlic is barely noticeable when swallowing.

How to use?

Take 3 softgels a day, preferably with food. Swallow the capsules with a sufficient amount of water. The daily dose can be taken at once or divided between meals. Do not exceed the recommended daily dose. The container includes a freshness packet that must not be eaten – keep the capsules in the original bottle and close the lid carefully after use.
