Q: Why do my Garlic tablets look different?
A: If you’ve ordered this supplement in the past, you may notice a difference in appearance. We’ve recently updated the manufacturing process used to create the tablets. Our team was able to compress the same amount of potent garlic into a much smaller tablet! The improved Garlic with Allicin is easier and more comfortable to swallow while providing the same health benefits you’ve come to expect from this hardworking supplement.
If you’ve received the updated version, you will notice the following improvements:
- The new tablets are considerably smaller, reduced to more than half the original size. In the past, some customers were not happy with the larger tablets. You voiced your opinion, and we listened! 
- A slight variation in color due to the updated manufacturing process.
We want to assure you that only the delivery system – the tablet – has changed. Our Garlic still provides a minimum of 5000 mcg of Allicin, the critical component in garlic cloves that makes it so effective at supporting your cardiovascular system and your overall health.
The new tablets still feature the enteric coating that protects the garlic from being broken down in the stomach before it enters the small intestine, where it is most useful.

Q: Where is your garlic grown? Or does this vary depending on growing conditions?
A: The latter is correct! It varies on availability and growing conditions.

Q: What is the manufacturing process that captures the Allicin so it’s not lost in processing?
A: Our dry process ensures stability from our (tested) Guaranteed Potency allicin source. 

Q: How many tablets would = 1 clove of garlic?
A: Our product tests, per pill, with an allicin strength equivalent to about 1.5 to 2 cloves of garlic.
