Turkish Garlic Caps, 375 mg, 100 Capsules

Most research has shown that fresh garlic provides a better means of obtaining garlic's benefits, but garlic capsules are an alternative option, especially if you don't like the taste or odor of fresh garlic. Garlic capsules contain concentrated garlic powder, essential oil or powdered extract. While garlic has a number of potential health uses for men and women, some research has shown that garlic may have specific benefits for women. Consult your doctor before using any dietary supplements.

Candidiasis Benefits

Candidiasis, also known as thrush, is a yeast infection that occurs due to the overgrowth of the fungus known as Candida albicans. Although yeast infections can occur on a variety of body parts, women typically experience vaginal yeast infections. An in vitro study published in the August 1991 issue of the journal, "Phytotherapy Research" showed that specific compounds in garlic, known as diallyl thiosulphinate, or allicin, methyl allyl thiosulphinate, and allyl methyl thiosulphinate, also found in garlic powder, have antimicrobial and antifungal effects. The researchers report that "the anticandidal activities of commercially available garlic supplement products corresponded in general to the activities known for the chemical compounds found in the products."

Potential Anticancer Properties
