+G Boost Garlic Complex
Brand: Shaklee
Dr. Feb's Analysis
Scientific Mechanism
The cellular efficacy of Garlic powder is primarily attributed to allicin, a sulfur-containing compound. Allicin interacts with thiol groups in enzymes, influencing cellular metabolism and antioxidant pathways. This helps mitigate oxidative stress in blood vessels. Rosemary extract provides carnosic acid, a potent antioxidant that protects lipids from peroxidation, maintaining cellular integrity. Spearmint Oil offers complementary antioxidant support. Together, these ingredients modulate lipid metabolism and vascular function, promoting cardiovascular wellness at the cellular level.
Key Benefits
Key benefits include:
- Supports healthy cholesterol levels already within the normal range
- Promotes cardiovascular system function
- Provides antioxidant protection against free radicals
- Helps maintain normal blood pressure levels
Usage & Safety
The standard dosage is 2 tablets daily, taken with meals to enhance absorption and reduce gastrointestinal discomfort. Garlic has potential blood-thinning properties; therefore, individuals taking anticoagulant medications (e.g., Warfarin) or preparing for surgery must consult a physician. Discontinue use two weeks prior to surgical procedures. Not recommended for pregnant or nursing women without medical advice.
