ZHOU Garlic : 12: Tab, (Btl-Plastic) 400mg 90ct | Garlic Supplements, Odorless Extract Pills for Men & Women, 5000 mcg Allicin Per Tablet for Immune & Heart Health

Update of the below, a few months later in June: It seems to work for BP! Have combined it with hibiscus tea 3x day, daily exercise, stress reduction, and diet changes (see earlier comment below) plus "Fruit & Veggies" by Balance of Nature (you can google it). Latest BP readings are in range of 115/70. Down from high of 166/90 in January (average 145-150/80-85). No meds! Garlic is supposed to be good for other things besides BP, like blood thinning and antibiotic properties. Great product. From winter 2018: I believe this product is effective. I can actually feel the expansion of my vascular system (a mild "burning" sensation) in different parts of my body after taking a pill. Have been following a strict regimen since I found out I have a blood sugar/blood pressure issue that has been affecting my kidneys (moderately elevated BP with spikes and a GMR in diabetic territory, some protein in urine). The whole regimen seems to be working well, average BP is 20-30 points lower on top, had a few perfect BP days recently 120/75 average (down from 150/85). Brew hibiscus tea (Frontier organic, from Amazon) -- 7 cups water to 9 tbsp. hibiscus flowers, boil for 10 minutes then let sit for at least an hour, drink 3 times a day 6 ounces hot or cold. Hibiscus is recommended by doctors, can do the same as BP meds for moderately high BP. I usually take the garlic pill, 2x a day, with hibiscus. Also, exercise (mostly walking and some stretching) 4-5 times a week, cut out all sweets and most bad carbs (except on Easter!), eating way more fruits and vegetables, cut out black tea and coffee, now drink two cups green tea a day. Mostly cut out alcohol, may drink 1 glass of red wine on weekends and when out to dinner. Also, deal with stress, find out how to manage it. This regimen could take 6-8 weeks to kick in. Book titled "The Blood Pressure Hoax" has some good info on diet especially, heavy on supplements that you may or may not need though. You do not want to be taking BP meds unless your BP is extremely high, and in that case hopefully you can wean yourself off or cut down in the future using natural means. I hope this helps someone. p.s. fish oil is also part of my regimen -- Coromega, which can be ordered more cheaply from Amazon, two packets a day.

Have bought this many times. Definitely makes me feel good. Little pricey but you're getting good ingredients and allicin. Beware of the cheap garlic pills that have highly refined soybean oil.

The tablets are easy to swallow, which is always a plus. This supplement contains allicin, which is what you want in a garlic supplement. I can't chew on garlic to gain the allicin. The best I can do is slice it & tape it to the bottom of my feet, this works well for an ear infection, but not when you get an infection in your GI. I am a Crohn's patient with a compromised immune system. I have used this supplement in conjunction with vitamin C to clear up GI infections, bronchitis & tooth infections. This supplement never upsets my gut & I've never had to to take it longer than 2 weeks. I was forced to get the flu shot this year & still got the flu. Even with a compromised immune system, I fully recovered from the flu without any prescribed medication. I used this supplememt, vitamin C, water & homemade chichen noodle bome broth soup. My son is now using this supplement to heal tooth & gum infections while we save the money to get his teeth fixed. The dentist didn't think my son would last 3 months with as bad as his teeth were. It's been 5 months & although we've only been able to afford to repair 3 of his teeth, the 2 teeth that were so rotted & infected they needed pulled that day are not showing any signs of infection now, his gums are all cleared up & what the dentist said at the last visit was to keep taking the supplements he's on because they are working & if they keep working & this is one of the supplements. I purchased 1 bottle of this garlic & when it was gone, I bought a different brand. I couldn't tolerate the other brand. My son took it for 4 days & quit because he got GI upset himself & burps with a gross taste. I reordered this garlic & this will be the staple one for my family, next to the raw garlic in ways I can use it. Cooking with garlic is not good enough because heat destroys the allicin. You have to use it raw or in a supplement. If the label doesn't state allicin on it, there probably isn't any active allicin left due to how it was processed, so make sure the label states allicin, or just buy this brand. I am not a doctor. Do your own research, speak to your own doctor. This review is my experience with this supplement & should not replace medical advice or own research.

I'm going to go middle of the road with my review on this product. Why? Because I'm sure some people can take it, but me personally, it took me 6 weeks to figure out that my persistent diarrhea was coming from taking this garlic supplement.... It's pretty frustrating to eliminate everything you eat and start off with a liquid diet over and over before you realize what has been right in front of your eyes the whole time .. everything changed but the supplements ... SMH at myself. Two days after I stopped the garlic, the constant diarrhea stopped with no recurrences in the last 10 days. On the upside, I lost 5 pounds in those 6 weeks. lol I'm sure it works well for others... just did not work well for me. Updated review: If I could give half a star, I would change my rating from the 3 star I originally gave it to 4.5 just for the great customer service I received from Zhou after the sale. . So, I would most likely buy another product from them, knowing they do actually stand behind their guarantee of satisfaction guaranteed. Thanks Zhou, I'll look forward to purchasing other products from you, but just not the garlic as evidently we don't get along well together. lol --- Oh, as a side note, I never noticed any garlic-y taste or smell while taking these garlic tablets.

Allicin is the ingredient in garlic that is said to boost the immune system. This one has it. It is always fresh and it is odor free.

No le sentí sabor es bueno apenas me tomé una pastilla sentí un calor en mis brazos y mis piernas. Sabor neutral

Been taking these for about a week now. I thought I'd leave some feedback for the skeptics out there. Maybe you're like me and thinking there's no way that these don't leave you with horrible garlic breath or even worse - that garlic odor that seemingly exudes from our pores after you've had a major garlic fest. Well, they don't! (BUT - I will just say that the garlic does affect the odor of some "end products" if you catch my drift. Pun not intended but pretty funny. In all fairness, I did start taking a fish oil supplement at the same time that I started taking these so we can't be sure who the culprit is - or if it's a combination deal? But it's really not that big of a deal and definitely a non-factor when weighed against the health benefits. To be clear, they don't make me gassy or anything - they just alter the odor of my poop.) Sorry if that's TMI but thought this info might help someone out there. For example, you don't want to take these if you're planning on going on your first overnight trip with your boyfriend/girlfriend. LOL In any event, I started taking a garlic supplement because I've read that it is a natural supplement for lowering high blood pressure. Plus, I've also read that it's got anti-bacterial properties and is helpful for repelling mosquitos. I'm O Negative and I'm literally a mosquito magnet. I've read studies that have proven that mosquitos LOVE RH negative blood. But even without the studies, I was already convinced of this. I can be sitting outside with 9 other tasty people and they will always come after me! Any who, I'm very curious to see if these help at all in that arena. I'm in So. Cal and we're in the middle of a little heat wave. Went for a walk last night without a bite. I'll update my review when I have more data on this. But I do definitely recommend these for anyone interested in reaping the health benefits of a garlic supplement.

UPDATE: Changed my original rating from 5 stars to 3 and here's why- When I first ordered these back in March, they arrived very strong and worked like a charm to knock out colds/flu bugs. My current quantity was getting low and needed to place a reorder. The new order arrived today and smells nothing like the previous order from March. The pills are also shaped different with a raised lip going around the edge which the previous pills do not have. Also the new order bottle is black and not brown like before. So there have definitely been some changes and it doesn't look like it is for the best. I don't think that I will be repurchasing this product again in the future because of this. I have added photos to show the difference of the pills, bottle color with lot numbers. My initial rating with this supplement has been changed to DISAPPOINTED! UPDATE 2: {The company did provide a refund for this recent order without me requesting one, so I do appreciate that they are faithful to their Money Back Guarantee and as much as I would like to change my rating I do feel that it is appropriate considering there has been a change in the quality of the pills. If something is not broken, then why change it?} Original review: This is a powerful Garlic Supplement. I didn't have any problems with the taste or any digestive issues when taking it. I don't take it daily and only take it when I need to as a natural antibiotic. Will come back and repurchase when this one is gone.

Really like the fact that this ZHOU Garlic with Allicin does not affect my stomach in any way.

Good product for secretions of dopamine

As advertised seems very potent
