I'm always exploring into healthy food and its properties, so here I am sharing about Mega De Herb's supplement and it's healthy food and its properties inside the pill. I've recently tried the made in Singapore supplement, Mega De Herb. Its product feature the unique Black Garlic and Natto Kinase as well as Cabbage's food properties.
Let me first brief you on what are the Health benefits of Black Garlic:
Black garlic supplements have a variety of benefits ranging from lowering cholesterol to treating high blood pressure.- may Treat Leukemia
- may Help Treat Stomach and Colon Cancer
- benefits the Heart
- is a Strong Antioxidant; Black garlic is 10 times more effective than fresh garlic in its antioxidant power. The garlic mimics an enzyme (superoxide dismutase) by defending cells from hydrogen peroxide, a reactive oxygen species that can cause tissue damage
- can Reduce Inflammation; black garlic decreased blood clotting effects caused by platelet aggregation in both human and animal studies
- may Reduce Liver Damage
- may Protect Brain Cells from MSG; you've probably heard MSG or seasoning kind of damage the brain cell, other than the hair cell. In this case, black garlic may protect your brain cells and decrease damage caused by MSG.
The above mentioned benefits apply to White Garlic however recently there has been a rise in popularity of Black Garlic. White Garlic becomes Black Garlic following a month-long fermentation process under strictly controlled heat and humidity. This very specific process results is a soft, jelly-like texture that is free from odour and has a taste similar to figs (I've never tried the raw Black Garlic, however it's what most people said regards the taste of it).
From a nutritional point of view, Black Garlic has a much higher content of allicin, the active ingredient in White Garlic that imparts its benefits, but without the odour. Additionally, Black Garlic is rich in amino acids and has almost double the amount of antioxidants when compared to White Garlic. But that is not the whole story.
Black Garlic also contains an additional very specific compound called S-Allycysteine (SAC) in very high concentrations, compared to White Garlic which is water soluble and thus absorbed easily within the body. S-Allylcysteine has been shown to assist with the absorption of allicin. This makes Black Garlic much more effective than White Garlic for all the benefits mentioned above and additionally it is well tolerated by the digestive system so the chance of gastric distress is completely minimised.
Next, I will share with you the Food Properties & Health Benefits of Natto Kinase:
- may prevent blood clots
- may improve blood flow: Nattokinase improves blood flow by inhibiting blood cell clumping (platelet aggregation) and thrombus formation.
- may reduce cholestrol
- may decrease risk of stroke
- may treat alzheimer's disease; Certain factors that are high in Alzheimer’s decreased with oral nattokinase consumption
Nattokinase is an enzyme present in nattō, a traditional Japanese food. It has strong blood clot-dissolving activity, and it reduces blood pressure and high cholesterol, which highlights its potential for use in the treatment of heart disease. Read on to learn more about the health benefits of nattokinase. It was discovered and extracted from nattō in 1987 when nattō was found to dissolve artificial fibrin (an insoluble protein involved in the formation of a blood clot).
Nattokinase has been extensively studied in Japan, Korea, and China. However, only recently has this enzyme been recognized for its powerful clot-dissolving properties in Western medicine
As some of you know, stomach problems are my biggest problem in my entire life. The one I really look forward to is actually Stomach Pro supplement by Mega De Herb and it's really impressive to know the health benefits of what Cabbage can do.
