Vitality Nutritionals Black Garlic Capsules

Science-Backed

While we are familiar with white garlic from many delicious dishes, black garlic is widely unknown. Entirely without good reason, as black garlic is not only a culinary speciality, but also comes with a whole array of healthy substances. Black garlic is not its own species, but simply a variant of the more commonly known white garlic (allium sativum). The bulb gets its black colour from a special fermentation process. This not only helps to extinguish the often unpleasantly pungent flavour, but also supports the development of various substances' antioxidative and inflammatory effects.

However, to benefit from these healthy substances, you would have to eat a couple of garlic cloves a day. The black garlic capsules contain a concentrated extract, corresponding to about 3 cloves (9 g). Studies show that the supply of only 4 g of garlic a day can have a positive impact on your health.[1] Whereby the long-term intake of garlic capsules is recommended to achieve a positive effect.

The spectrum of active substances in black garlic capsules

In traditional medicine, garlic has been known as the 'king of hearts' for centuries. The healthy bulb has a stimulating effect on the blood flow and is thus able to promote a healthy cardiovascular function.[2] 

This positive effect is achieved primarily by the sulphur compounds in the garlic. However, these are also responsible for the bad breath that is inevitably linked to garlic consumption. Also, these sulphur compounds can in some cases cause stomach complaints. The fermentation process allows the black garlic to shed these unpleasant properties, while not giving up any of its positive substances. On the contrary: During fermentation, the maturing triggers probiotic processes. The products generated within the scope of this process can have a positive impact on the intestinal flora while also promoting a better digestibility.

Do Vitality Nutritionals black garlic capsules have side effects?

The intake of conventional garlic (extract) may cause digestive problems and stomach pain as a result of the sulphur compounds contained in the garlic. The fermentation process, however, makes the garlic easier to digest so that the intake of the black garlic capsules only very rarely cause side effects such as stomach complaints. For an even better tolerability, we recommend taking the capsules directly before or with meals.

For whom are black garlic capsules ideally recommended?

Vitality Nutritionals black garlic capsules are suitable for all those, who want to actively promote their heath. Garlic has been used to improve health for centuries. Today, there are numerous studies proving the positive effects of garlic on the human body. And black garlic contains an especially large amount of antioxidants. The organism needs these in particular for combating harmful free radicals. Free radicals are generally caused by so-called oxidative stress. If your body is subjected to such stress for a longer period, this will increase your risk of certain health problems.

Reasons for oxidative stress and thus the development of free radicals can be increased alcohol and drug consumption. But also harmful substances such as exhaust fumes, certain therapeutic drugs, chronic diseases and inflammatory conditions, as well as considerable physical stress can encourage the development of free radicals. This means that those excessively exposed to these factors must rely on free radical neutralisers such as black garlic to protect their body from oxidative stress and the associated health problems.

Black garlic capsules are, in particular, a benefit for all those, who:
