Viridian Organic Garlic 500mg

Viridian Organic Garlic 500mg is a premium supplement providing certified organic garlic (Allium sativum) bulb powder at a meaningful 500mg dose per capsule. Garlic is one of the most widely consumed and extensively studied medicinal plants in the world, with a therapeutic history spanning thousands of years across virtually every major civilisation and culture. Modern scientific research has validated many of garlic's traditional applications and revealed the sophisticated biochemical mechanisms behind its health-promoting properties.

The most important bioactive compound in garlic is allicin (diallyl thiosulphinate), which is formed when raw garlic is chopped, crushed, or chewed, triggering an enzymatic conversion of the precursor compound alliin by the enzyme alliinase. Allicin and its metabolites (ajoene, diallyl sulphide, and others) are responsible for garlic's characteristic pungent smell and are associated with its antimicrobial, cardiovascular, and immunomodulatory effects.

Research has examined garlic for its potential to support cardiovascular health through effects on blood pressure, platelet aggregation, arterial elasticity, and cholesterol metabolism. Garlic has also demonstrated immunostimulatory properties, with studies suggesting it can reduce the incidence and duration of common colds. Its natural antimicrobial activity against bacteria, viruses, and fungi is well documented and has driven interest in garlic for digestive health and immune support.

The organic certification ensures the garlic is grown free from synthetic chemicals, preserving both the plant's natural phytochemical richness and environmental integrity. This supplement contains 100% active ingredients, is free from artificial additives, and is suitable for vegans. Produced in the UK to Viridian's ethical standards.
