Macerated and deodorized garlic pearls. The healthy effects of garlic have been known since ancient times, even being described as "divine" by the Egyptians. Garlic is an antiseptic, regulates blood pressure (vasodilator effect) and prevents atherosclerosis by regulating the formation of cholesterol and triglycerides. It is a natural antibiotic that inhibits the growth of fungi and bacteria that cause respiratory and intestinal problems. It is also useful in genitourinary infections since its antibiotic components are eliminated through the kidneys.
