Each bottle of fermented black garlic supplement contains 30 servings.

Fermented black garlic helps support healthy blood pressure and immune function. In addition, it supports healthy cholesterol levels.

It contains the nutrient S-allyl-cysteine (SAC), which is created from the fermentation process. In each recommended serving, there is a minimum of 1.2 milligrams (mg) of S-allyl-cysteine (SAC).

Six benefits of black garlic

In addition to preventing diseases and acting as a natural antibiotic, black garlic has the following health benefits:

1) Antioxidant

Black garlic is antioxidant because it is very rich in vitamin C and contains between 5-7 times more polyphenols than white garlic. “The advantage of antioxidants is that they reduce the action of free radicals, molecules that promote premature aging of the body's cells,” explains Carmen Escalada, clinical nutritionist at the European Medical Institute of Obesity (IMEO). “Therefore, black garlic delays cellular aging and the onset of degenerative and chronic diseases.”

2) It prevents the onset of cardiovascular diseases

León indicates that there are clinical trials demonstrating that garlic improves blood circulation, reduces blood pressure, decreases platelet aggregation, and helps control blood cholesterol levels. These benefits are related to its content of allicin and ajoenes.

3) Prevents migraine

The vasodilator substances contained in black garlic can also influence and help reduce headaches and migraines.

"If the blood cannot circulate through the arteries, an increase in blood pressure occurs. In certain cases, the causes of headaches are that pressure, so if we manage to improve the entire circulation, migraines will improve or their intensity will be reduced," adds Escalada.

4) Antimicrobial activity

Some studies have shown that the mixture of its components (especially allicin, ajoenes, and diallyl trisulfide) acts against bacteria responsible for some infections and even against some types of fungi such as Candida.

5) Improves defenses

León indicates some in vitro and in vivo studies show that garlic boosts the immune system, specifically, it increases the proliferation of lymphocytes (a type of white blood cell that fights infections) and gamma interferon.

6) Prevention against some types of cancer

Finally, the spokesperson for Addinma specifies that, although it is still too early to draw conclusions and the studies have been conducted mainly with animals, "it seems that the complex and complete composition of garlic modulates the activity of certain oxidative enzymes and repairs DNA, preventing chromosomal damage, so it could prevent some types of cancers such as colon, breast, or gastric cancer."

Although black garlic has many benefits, Escalada reminds that people who are intolerant to white garlic are also intolerant to black garlic, and that its consumption should be avoided in those who have coagulation problems or who are going to undergo surgery. In addition, it can interact with certain medications, mainly anticoagulants, such as heparin or warfarin, because it increases the action of these drugs and may promote the occurrence of bleeding.
