Aged garlic or allicin?
caruga 15 Jan 2015
Is one proven more effective than the other? I've seen products on the market claiming to contain allicin using new production methods to prevent it degrading to other substances. I've seen other sources saying no supplements (can) contain allicin but maybe that is outdated information. I'm wondering if there's a difference in odour as well.

What's the intended use? Allicin is by far the more potent anti-microbial. But if you're looking for cardiovascular benefits, aged garlic may provide equivalent benefits at a lower price.

What is aged garlic?
And isn't allicin destroyed in the stomach by the stomach acid? I read that this is the case and that this is why allicin only works when you take it in special pill form.
There are all kinds of garlic supplements out there but I really don't know which ones are good. I'd rather simply eat garlic. But if the allicin is destroyed in the stomach then
this would be awful.
