Bearlic Garlic

Bearlic is Allium ursinum, the wild European “bear’s garlic.” This unique and exciting garlic species contains between two and four times as much of several key phytochemicals (including adenosine, gamma-glutamyl peptides, and ajoenes) as regular garlic.

Unlike ordinary garlic in other supplements ursinum has never been successfully cultivated, and is found in damp areas such as woods, hill and mountains of central Europe, its powerful active strength comes not from the bulb, but from the green leaves.

Additional professional information

A. ursinum contains allicin and its related forms, as well as more ajoene (a degraded form of allicin) and its related forms, more y-glutamyl peptides (GLUT), and more than 20 times as much adenosine.
Current opinion states that the y-glutamyl peptides and ajoene result in an increase in the difference across the membrane of the vascular smooth muscle. This in turn results in a widening of blood vessels, which may affect blood pressure.
y-glutamyl peptides have been demonstrated to inhibit the actions of angiotensin I-converting enzyme (ACE), an enzyme released from the kidneys which regulates blood pressure.
Adenosine helps increase blood vessel width and can also reduce platelet aggregation.
Adenosine acts as a muscle relaxant and as a protectant against toxins such as caffeine.
A. ursinum might activate macrophages to reduce the synthesis of LDL cholesterol and protect against plaques and blood clots.
A. ursinum has antioxidant properties that protect against free radicals.
A. ursinum has antibacterial and antifungal properties.
