One of these products is the capsules of solgar garlic oil. They are not cheap. More than 1000 p. per container (250 capsules). The container is designed for 2 times a day, 1 capsule.
The main ingredient is equivalent to 0. 5 grams of garlic. If 1 g of spicy vegetables is consumed per day, the result is identical. But there are no unpleasant effects after taking the capsules, such as there are after eating raw garlic.
In the instructions for the use of garlic oil, the manufacturer affirms that Solgar is a preventive agent against hemorrhagic and ischemic stroke because it cleanses brain vessels. The efficacy of your product is veiled by the manufacturer, which writes about the difference between a stroke and a hemorrhagic stroke.
