Garlic isn’t just for flavor—it’s a proven heart helper. Its active compound, allicin (released when garlic is crushed), along with sulfur compounds, flavonoids, and selenium, delivers strong cardiovascular benefits.

- Balances cholesterol levels (lowers LDL, raises HDL)
- Prevents blood clots
- Fights oxidative stress
