Čini se da je od svih spojeva u čudotvornom češnjaku najvažniji alicin.

Najnovija istraživanja naglasila su njegovu moguću ulogu u sprječavanju ili liječenju karcininoma, malarije i tuberkuloze. Alicin bi mogao poslužiti i kao oružje u borbi protiv ''zlatnog stafilokoka'', tzv. MRSA ili ''bolničke superbakterije'' (Staphylococcus aureus otporan na meticilin), na koji većina antibiotika uopće ne djeluje.
Alicin je nestabilan spoj i lako se razgrađuje na druge kemijske spojeve koji su zaslužni za njegove korisne funkcije u tijelu.


Stabilised Allicin is a unique extract from fresh garlic and has a number of exciting properties. Only recently, decades after allicin was first identified in the laboratory, has it been possible to produce a stabilised form on a commercial scale. A team of chemists and chemical process engineers have pioneered and patented the unique process of water-based extraction and freeze drying that made this possible.

This milestone achievement has finally made it possible for researchers to explore allicin’s potential more fully and more freely to confirm the most incredible spectrum of activity against a host of common ailments. Stabilised Allicin has also been proven to have a great deal of synergy with other natural extracts leading to an increased efficacy.

Garlic cloves are odour-free until crushed or processed when garlic supplements are manufactured and cross-section studies have indicated that the substrate alliin and the enzyme allinase are located in different compartments. This unique organization suggests that it is designed as a potential defence mechanism against microbial pathogens in the soil. Invasion of the cloves by fungi and other soil pathogens causes the interaction between alliin and allinase that rapidly produces allicin and which in turn inactivates the invader. The reactive allicin molecules can now be stabilised thanks to a new process where the biologically active Allicin is quickly diluted with water under controlled temperature and pressure to produce a perfectly stable liquid Allicin.

Alicin je organsko sumporno jedinjenje. Zanimljivo je da ga je najvise u bijelom luku ( ima ga pomalo i u crnom), ali normalno nije prisutan sve dok se na neki nacin ne osteti lukovica. Tada ga biljka intezivno sintetise.
Danas je moguca i njegova sinteticka proizvodnja.
60-ih u Rusiji su vrsena istrazivanja upotreba alicina kao antibiotika (ima velika baktericidna svojstva) ali se od toga odustalo jer u vecim dozama ili uzimat IV, IM je pokazivao ogromnu toksicnost.
Danas se upotrebljava za snizenje krvnog pritiska (blaga snaga), povecanje viskoziteta krvi, povecanje imuniteta.
Napomena: U najvecem broju slucajeva, alicin iz kapsula je sinteticki, ,ma sta pisalo na flasici.
Napomena2: Znate li da sa sokom bijelog luka mozete da lijepite staklo i porculan kao sa super ljepkom...
