Enteric Garlic Tablets

Garlic powder tablets made with fresh garlic of the highest quality from our organic crops, following an exclusive lyophilization process that guarantees high levels of allicin and other active organosulfurized substances.  In addition, an enteric coating makes them resistant to stomach acids and guarantees maximum absorption of allicin.

Garlic through History:

Since ancient times, garlic was consumed by many civilizations: Sumerians recorded the culinary importance of garlic in different recipes that are still cooked today; the Egyptians used it in funerary rites; Greeks and Romans considered garlic an exceptional invigorating remedy. Also, from the Middle Ages up to the First World War, it was used as a disinfectant. But it wasn’t until 1944 when doctor Arthur Stoll - Nobel Prize laureate- discovered alliin (sulfurated amino acid). This substance is the precursor of the main qualities attributed to garlic throughout history.

Since ancient times, garlic was consumed by many civilizations: Sumerians recorded the culinary importance of garlic in different recipes that are still cooked today; the Egyptians used it in funerary rites; Greeks and Romans considered garlic an exceptional invigorating remedy. Also, from the Middle Ages up to the First World War, it was used as a disinfectant. But it wasn’t until 1944 when doctor Arthur Stoll - Nobel Prize laureate- discovered alliin (sulfurated amino acid). This substance is the precursor of the main qualities attributed to garlic throughout history.

The studies based on allicin have shown that it is a very unstable compound that quickly disappears after manipulating garlic. Allicin is practically non-existent in cooked garlic or even in directly lyophilized garlic. Just right after eating garlic, the sulphurated compounds are released and quickly metabolised, getting distributed throughout the body, especially in the lungs. The latter is the reason why it was used as a treatment of tuberculosis in the XXth century.

The fact that finding big quantities of allicin in fresh garlic is possible, does not mean that the body is assimilating all of it. During the digestive process, the acid pH of the stomach makes the initial concentrations of allicin from fresh garlic drastically decrease, once it is digested.

That is the reason why Soria Natural has developed an enteric-coated tablet, that can resist the acid conditions of the stomach and allows the release of allicin where maximum absorption in the digestive system is possible: the small bowel. This way, we make sure that the allicin of the tablet is assimilated by the organism and during manufacturing, we make certain of not destroying allicin
