Garlic supplements do not contain any allicin at all. They rely on your body being able to generate small quantities of allicin once you have swallowed the tablet or capsule. Garlic oil supplements are produced by distilling fresh garlic. The oil that is produced is then diluted and placed into a capsule. This process destroys most, if not all of the available allicin. A few garlic powder supplements can generate some allicin during the digestive process. This depends, however, on the prevailing stomach conditions and may take several hours. AllicinMax doesn't need to be converted since it actually contains stabilised allicin. When AllicinMax is taken, it is not destroyed and is easily absorbed into the blood stream. The allicin in AllicinMax likes the acid environment of your stomach, unlike other supplements that can be inactivated by acidic conditions.
