Unlike fresh garlic, this organic concentrate uses a patented low-temperature process that preserves 100% of active compounds — alliinase, alliin, sulphur derivatives, phosphorus, amino acids and selenium — while fully removing the characteristic odour. Each 350mg capsule is standardised to 3.8% allicin, guaranteeing consistent potency: 4 capsules a day provide 53.2mg of allicin, a dose considered highly effective in herbal medicine.

Garlic’s sulphur compounds, notably allicin and ajoene, are traditionally associated with maintaining normal cholesterol levels and supporting healthy blood circulation. Garlic is also traditionally used to support the body’s natural defences, which is why garlic courses are especially popular in autumn and winter. It is often paired with propolis and vitamin C for extra immune support — ask our Paris team for advice on combinations.

Odourless capsules remove the main barrier to regular garlic use: the smell. They offer a standardised 3.8% allicin dose, precise and reproducible dosing, excellent digestive tolerance, and long shelf life in a sealed jar — advantages fresh garlic cannot match.

Take 2 to 4 capsules daily with meals, for a course of 1 to 3 months.

Not recommended if taking anticoagulants (warfarin, aspirin), as garlic may potentiate blood-thinning effects. Stop 2 weeks before surgery. Not recommended in cases of active gastric ulcer. Consult your doctor if taking other medication concurrently.

Do the garlic capsules smell?

No — the patented low-temperature deodorising process fully removes garlic’s characteristic odour, both when taking it and afterwards.

Can I take garlic capsules with heart medication?

Garlic can potentiate the effect of anticoagulants and some blood pressure medications, so always consult your doctor before combining it with cardiovascular treatment.

What’s the difference between black garlic and this concentrate?

Black garlic is fermented and matured, changing its active-compound profile. This concentrate preserves the full fresh-garlic profile (allicin, alliin, ajoene) via low-temperature concentration. We stock both at Herba Barona.
