The Best Source of Garlic

There is variation among garlic products and some odorless garlic preparations may not contain active compounds.

Here's an interesting example: A dose of 600 mg of garlic extract typically produces 3,600 mcg (micrograms) of allicin. A dose of fresh garlic—about one clove—typically produces approximately 18,300 mcg of allicin.
Obviously, the whole-foods version is more powerful. Moreover, you're more certain of getting the complete package of health boosters that garlic has to offer.

If you do, however, decide to try garlic powder, a reasonable dose is 300 mg of garlic powder, three times a day.

What is a “Super Food”?

Well, the most important thing for everyone to know is that superfoods are easy to find in every local supermarket. They’re worth looking for!

These nutritional powerhouse foods are loaded with nutrients crucial to a healthy, long life.

If you can include a variety of them in your diet, everyday, we promise they will change your life!

These foods were chosen because they contain high concentrations of crucial nutrients, as well as the fact that many of them are low in calories. Foods containing these nutrients have been proven to help prevent and, in some cases, reverse the well-known effects of aging, including cardiovascular disease, Type II Diabetes, hypertension and certain cancers.

When you click on each superfood you’ll find information including a list of the primary nutrients that elevated them to superfood status.

This is not meant to be a complete list of every single nutrient that food contains, but rather, a list of the high-profile nutrients that have shown health benefits and that are present in that food in sufficient quantity to make a difference. Many of the superfoods have “Sidekicks”. These are foods that are generally in the same category as the flagship superfood and offer a similar nutrient profile.

So click around and find recipes and tips on how to incorporate these foods in your daily diet.
