Bearlic is Allium ursinum , the wild European "bear's garlic." This unique and exciting species contains between two and four times as much of several key phytochemicals (including adenosine, gamma-glytamyl, peptides, and ajoenes) as more common forms. Unlike ordinary garlic in other supplements, ursinum has never been successfully cultivated and its powerful active strength comes not from the bulb, but from the green leaves. It is found in damp areas such as the woods, hills and mountains of central Europe. Major advantages that ursinum has over domestic garlic include: more of the active substances present, other active substances that are not found in cultivated garlic - or found only when large quantities are taken - and ursinum is virtually odorless. Studies also suggest that Allium ursinum may offer greater support to the cardiovascular system.
