Pure-Gar with EDTA 800 mg Garlic 100 mg EDTA, 200 capsules. Allium is the active component in garlic and onions. Allium compounds are sulfur-donating compounds that help reconstitute glutathione, a major internal antioxidant. This mechanism is probably responsible for allium’s positive effects. Allium has a number of positive effects that may help reduce the risk of diabetic complications, including the following:

• Decreasing oxidative stress (Dhawan V et al 2004)
• Promoting weight loss and insulin sensitivity in animal models of diabetes (Elkayam A et al 2003)

Caution:

• Garlic has blood-thinning, anticlotting properties.
• Discontinue using garlic before any surgical procedure.
• Garlic can cause headache, muscle pain, fatigue, vertigo, watery eyes, asthma, and gastrointestinal symptoms such as nausea and diarrhea.
• Ingesting large amounts of garlic can cause bad breath and body odor.
