Active Compounds:
Garlic contains more than 200 chemical com-
pounds. Some of its more important ones include: volatile oil
with sulphur-containing compounds: (allicin, alliin, and

phellandrene and B phellandrene. The allyl contained in garlic is

ing insulin require-ments to control blood sugar. The com-
pounds contained in garlic have also demonstrated their ability
to lower total serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels while ele-
vating HDL levels. LDL synthesis is suppressed by garlic. Garlic
allicins have also acted as a larvacide and bacteriostat, active
against gram-positive or gram-negative microorganisms. In addi-
