AIM Bear Paw Garlic® Q & A
Why have I never heard of A. ursinum?
Because it’s wild! Because it has never been
domesticated, A. ursinum has never made it around the world as regular
garlic has. And because of this, it has not been subjected to the
publicity of the “garlic wars”: the fight for a market share that
has done so much to bring garlic to people’s attention. It is, however,
known in scientific circles and in Europe.
What is the difference between A. ursinum and A.
sativum?
Both A. ursinum and A. sativum come from the
same family and share the same active substances and benefits. However,
the leaf is used in A. ursinum and the bulb is used in A. sativum.
A. ursinum also has higher quantities of many of the active substances
than A. sativum does and upon digestion has less odor. In particular,
A. ursinum has more of the water-soluble substances.
Aren’t allicin and other fat-soluble substances the
only ones of importance in garlic?
No. Although allicin and ajoene are important,
there is a wealth of research from Europe indicating that the water-soluble
parts of garlic—adenosine, g-glutamyl peptides, flavonoids, and
fructanes—are equally important, if not more beneficial than allicin.
As well, allicin has known side effects and is also highly unstable.
What are these water-soluble substances?
We have briefly discussed adenosine and g-glutamyl
peptides in this data sheet. Flavonoids are substances in plants
that often have health benefits. Fructanes are significant because
they are indigestible sugars known as oligosaccharides. Fructo-oligosaccharides
encourage the growth of “good” intestinal bacteria.
