Dr. Nick Notes

This extract has been infused into Organic Olive Oil to aid in its usability by the manufacturer as the pure garlic extract is extremely irritating and potentially considered caustic. The pure garlic extract is approximately 50:1 ratio (50 kilos of Garlic bulbs per kilo extract) - the infusion into Olive Oil makes this a very concentrated and usable extract for the general end-user.

Garlic is a spectacular concentrated plant product that produces a superior quality CO2 extract for culinary and health purposes. Garlic is high in Sulfuric compounds: garlic extract can be irritating for the digestive system in larger doses and when ingesting a person may eliminate potent garlic odors from their skin / body.  I tend to use this as an exotic spice in the kitchen, to amplify sauces, dressings, soups or stews.  When feeling ill, I will combine 1-7 drops in a teaspoon of honey and eat it to promote immunity.

Several population studies show an association between increased intake of garlic and reduced risk of certain cancers, including cancers of the stomach, colon, esophagus, pancreas, and breast. Garlic (CO2) is an uncommon botanical extract and great to keep around one’s medicine chest / culinary collection.  Interestingly enough, I notice more resilience to cold / harsher winters when I eat several drops of the Garlic extract - an increased, bolstered internal heat!

I’ve noted that garlic is historically revered as an aphrodisiac – imagine hundreds of years ago, fine dining in Italy with garlic-laced entrees paired with warming red wines over a romantic dinner. When consuming larger amounts of garlic, one may notice increased sexual drive – whether or not the smell of garlic is attractive to other partners/lovers is up to one’s perspective.
