Wild Bear's GarlicTM
Wild Bear's Garlic is one
of the oldest medicinal herbs known to man. Its healing properties have
been recognized by Europeans for centuries where it is valued for its
ability to cleanse the blood of impurities. The name Wild Bear's Garlic
comes from the observation that bears awakening from their winter hibernation
devoured vast quanities of the plant to restore their strength.
Wild Bear's Garlic has long
been used as a remedy for a wide range of diseases. Though very similar
to ordinary cultivated garlic in function, Wild Bear's Garlic has higher
levels of ajoenes, adenosine, iron, and ACE-Inhibitory potential. In
fact, it has the highest natural sulfur and adenosine levels found anywhere
in the plant kingdom! Adenosine is a key component in the regulation
of hypertention an tachycardia.
While ordinary garlic (Allium
ursinum) has been cultivated for centuries resulting in a uniform, less
vigorous strain, Wild Bear's Garlic (Allium sativum) is organically
grown in the wild! This wild cousin to ordinary garlic grows on the
Alpine Plains, its natural sulfur compounds unaltered by man. Rich in
special sulfur compounds, Wild Bear's Garlic has circulation increasing
and lipid-reducing properties that could be useful aids in preventing
heart attacks.
For two plants to have the
same or similar properties it is necessary that their patterns of components
be similar. In comparative chemical analysis and in enzyme and cell
tests, Wild Bear's Garlic was found to have an effect correspondingto
that of cultivated garlic. However, Wild Bear's Garlic contains more
ajoenes, 30% more sulfur, and about 20 times more adenosine than cultivated
garlic. It is to ajoene and adenosine that the well known effects on
cholesterol, hypertension and tachycardia are largely attributed.
