Garlic Weirdness...

[Sterillium]

Can someone explain this to me... (I'm not very bright).

Standard run-of-the-mill garlic tablets seem to state that they contain around 2mg of garlic. But THESE monsters claim to have 15,000mg.

How come, if these capsules really have 7500 times as much as the others do in each one, they're not the size of footballs?

Are they saying that taking one of the higher strength ones would be the same as taking 7500 actual csapsules of the others?

Or am I missing something?

Wouldn't a tablet that contains 15,000mg of garlic weigh at least 15g? Which sounds pretty big - maybe inaccurate information?

You could have a 15000mg capsule that is 15000mg of garlic and another that is 2mg garlic and 14998mg of something else.

It's because they are suppositories.

is it a concentrate? we eat garlic , lots of it . in fact we grow our own, as well as buying it.
probably healthier and tastier too.

The description says 10,500mg allicin per capsule but the packaging says 10,500µg. There's quite a bit difference between those two

I missed that one as below is says ''10,500 mcg allicin'' which is clearly micrograms. The description is confusing but it is clear it is a mistake.

Maybe it's a decimal comma, not a separator. ie 10.5mg per capsule. See https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Decimal_mark

Regardless you will still stink of the stuff as it sweats out of your pours.

Stick with the fresh stuff, dried garlic is the work of the devil (and Prezzo) and 99 times out of a hundred the reason, if you feel like st after a meal out, is down to dried garlic, not 'a doggey shrimp' or even alcohol...
