PureGar
PureGar® is a brand of deodorized garlic supplements
manufactured by Natrol, Inc. In its natural state, the garlic
bulb is known to contain 33 sulfurous compounds, 17 amino
acids (including all major), germanium, calcium, copper, iron,
potassium, magnesium, selenium, zinc, and vitamins A, B1 and C. PureGar is standardized to provide a guaranteed amount
of five key sulfur-containing compounds found in garlic, including:
- Alliin
- Allicin yield
- Total thiosulfinates
- Gamma glutamyl cysteines
- Total sulfur
Garlic has shown to be effective in the treatment of lead,
mercury, cadmium and arsenic poisoning. Some sulfurous compounds
can bind and remove heavy metals and other poisons such as
food dyes, preservatives and sugar substitutes from the body.
Garlic is also the richest natural source of the trace element
selenium, which has the ability to counteract poisoning by
heavy metals.
Garlic raises the the body's resistance and immunity
to various colds and infectious diseases, improves digestion,
regulates heart activities, expands blood vessels, and has
pain relieving properties. It assists in the increase of the
gastric juices and aids with proper digestion.
