It is known that the terapeutic usefulness of garlic to human health is determined from the active ingredient known as "Allicin." Allicin is yielded from the bio- chemical reaction of the active ingredient Alliln and enzyme Alliinase. Various kinds of garlic products on the market gives different amounts of Allicin yields. Therefore in order to evaluate the potency of these products, standard tests are made to determine the amount of Allicin yields, called "Total Allicin Potential."

"ALICIA"
Contain hign Allicin Yield

The ALICIA garlic enteric coated tablet is a health food product that has been produced under a high technology manufacturing process.Starting from selecting raw material up to the production of garlic extract powder.

These successful tests confirms the fact that each ALICIA tablet will serve a maximum Alliin potency.

Enteric Film Coating
for Maximum Efficiency
 

The ALICIA compressed tablet is enteric coated in order to prevent the offensive odor following consumption of the pill, as well as making it my to swallow.

Garlic pills manufactured by KHAO-LA-OR LABORATORIES have been strigently tested by the highest medical standards at the Chulalongkorn University's Faculty of Medicine, as well as Der Laboratoriun fur Analysen und Trenntechnik Gmbh of Germany to certify the "Total Allcin Potential" that each ALICIA pill contains is as high as 600 microgrammes or about 1% of the total weight of the extracted garlic powder. These Medical Test Certifications issued by both domestic and foreign institutions testify the high quality standards of ALICIA Garlic Pills as one of the best health foods currently available on the international market.

ALLIIN & ALLINASE

It has been scientifically determined that garlic has special properties for the preservation of good health. This special property is created by two main agents in garlic,namely "Alliin" and "Allinase." The chemical interaction between these two agents produces "Allicin. " However, many different types of health foods produced from garlic and marketed worldwide differ in quality due to the different amount of Allicin contained in each product. Therefore, the check on the quality of garlic-based health foods is to determine the amount of Allicin, or in formal terms, their "Total Allicin Potential."

ENTERIC COATING

The highest quality of the Alicin essence of garlic, which have been selected from the fields of northern Thailand and then extracted into powder form, is preserved with the highest standards of medical pill coating technology. The "Enteric Coating" system is one of the best methods of preserving the "goodness," or the Allein content at the standard level of 600 microgrammes per pill. The enteric coating also helps reduce the strong pungent odor of garlic powder inside the coating to a minimum.

Normally ordinary pills, once having entered the digestion system, is quicidy dissolved by various natural acids, which also destroys Allicin if the pill dissolves before it reaches the Duodenum. However, the coating of ALICIA pills are specially designed to eventually dissolve following its entry into the small intestine, and therefore preserves its full Allicin potential. This specially manufactured pill, each containing 60 mili-grammes of garlic powder, can deliver no less than 600 micro-grammes of Allcin. An average person should take one pill after breakfast and another after dinner to give them 1,200 microgrammes of Allicin a day, sufficient for preserving the ,good health of a normal person.

THE COATING

The coating, made of corn starch, talcum and glucose, allows the pill to dissolve in the Duodenum, which in turn allows a bio-chemical reaction of the active ingredients Alliin and enzyme Alliinase to produce Allicin. Allicin remains active in the blood system for three hours after the pill dissolves, and can be efficiently absorbed.

QUALITY FROM THE
FIELDS

At Khao-La-Or Laboratories, quality control begins on the mountain side fields and valleys of northern and northeastern Thailand. The laboratory's agricultural experts go out to the fields during harvest to inspect and select the highest quality garlic produce from local farmers. This inspection and selection process ensures that only top quality garlic reaches the laboratory. At the laboratory, a second inspection of the produce is carried out before the final acception of the raw material, which is then carefully preserved and processed for production.
