The active ingredients in garlic are believed to be the many sulphur containing compounds, one of which is alliin. This is converted to allicin when the garlic is chewed or crushed and it is allicin that gives garlic its characteristic smell, and is believed to be the compound responsible for the health benefits of garlic. Garlic is traditionally used to help maintain cardiovascular health with some evidence that it may help to maintain normal cholesterol levels in the circulation, when part of a healthy low fat diet.
