Garlic and garlic supplements (such as garlic powder and garlic tablets) are known for their health promoting
effect, especially in the field of cardiovascular protection. Research in the past decade has shown that this
effect is achieved through the generation of Hydrogen Sulfide(H2S), an important gasotransmitter from the
garlic polysulfide. However, there are two major shortcomings with conventional garlic polysulfides – namely,
polysulfides release H2S instantly within the human body, while slow-releasing H2S donor is preferred for
longer lasting effects; and conventional polysulfides have a very strong garlic smell. We have developed a
method to make a compound, which is safe, water soluble, free of garlic smell, and more importantly, is able
to generate H2S slowly.
