What is odorless garlic extract?

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 naturally occurring sulphur compounds, and garlic also contains amino acids and trace minerals. According to the manufacturer, the garlic extract in this product is aged for 18 months, then purified and deodorised. The extract is mixed with rice bran oil and enclosed in a soft gelatin capsule, so the taste and smell of garlic are barely noticeable when swallowing the capsule.

How to use?

Take 2 softgels 1 to 2 times daily, preferably with food. Swallow the capsules with a sufficient amount of water. Up to 4 softgels can be taken per day – do not exceed the recommended daily dose. After opening, keep the container in a cool, dry place and close the lid carefully after use.
