Garlic

ByОлена Коновалова
GARLIC
     Garlic (Allium sativum) possesses a dense concentration of vitamins and mineral elements (including significant levels of 4 macronutrients and 12 micronutrients), as well as essential and non-essential amino acids. It is particularly notable for its concentrations of valine and isoleucine (15.0% of the Daily Value [DV] per 100 g), histidine, threonine, and arginine (10.0% each), and leucine, lysine, and phenylalanine (9.0% each). The nutritional profile is further supplemented by phytosterols and dietary fiber.
     Specifically, garlic exhibits exceptionally high concentrations of pyridoxine (62.0% DV per 100 g), ascorbic acid (35.0%), thiamine (13.0%), and pantothenic acid (12.0%). Its mineral profile is dominated by: germanium (815.0%!), manganese (84.0%), cobalt (80.0%), chromium (80.0%), molybdenum (71.0%), rubidium (63.0%), boron (44.6%), copper (30.0%), selenium (26.0%), sulfur (23.0%), phosphorus (19.0%), calcium (18.0%), potassium (16.0%), nickel (11.0%), vanadium (10.0%), zinc (10.0%), and iron (9.0%). It also contains total phytosterols (11.5% DV) and dietary fiber (11.0%). The carbohydrate fraction includes significant quantities of starch (9.56 g per 100 g) and sucrose (2.05 g per 100 g).
     The total purine base content per 100 g constitutes 3.9% of the daily allowance.
     Furthermore, the physiological influence of garlic on serum testosterone levels is well-documented and is attributed to its specific organosulfur and biochemical composition. Detailed analysis of the factors modulating garlic’s effect on testosterone and its subsequent impact on male reproductive health can be found in the section “Garlic and Testosterone”.
