Comment: Thank you very much for getting some new inventory. This product is fabulous. I do not know if you are aware of it or not, but this natural herb is excellent for treating Diverticulitis. At least that has been my personal experience. It is the only natural herb that I have found that actually helps me with this condition. Thanks again. DS, Austin, TX
Comment: Hi. I had a recent visit to my doctor that told me my cholesterol numbers were too high. He wanted to put me on medication, but I refused. I began using your product. On my next visit, about a month and a half later, I went to see him again. My numbers were normal, and he was pleased. He asked me if I had any issues with taking my medicine and I told him I was not taking it, that I was using Snow Mountain Garlic. He had no idea what I was taking about. When I explained to him what it was, he was shocked. I appreciate your company for providing an all natural remedy to my health concern, which now is no longer a concern. AMC, Florida
Comment: I wanted to write to tell you that I just love your product. I started taking your Snow Mountain Garlic about two months ago. I have always had high blood pressure. Last week I went to my doctor for a check up. He was very surprised when he checked my blood pressure and discovered it was NORMAL! So thank you very, very much. I will continue to order and use your product. Anonymous, New Mexico
Question: (6/10/2008) I am interested in ordering 6 boxes of the Snow Mountain Garlic (2 of the SMG3's). First I want to check to see what the expiration date is on the boxes so I'll know they are fresh. I just finished some boxes that just recently expired and would like to continue taking them. Could you let me know what the date is on the boxes you have on hand? Thanks.
Reply: Thank you for your questions and concerns. The expiration dates are for the manufacturer's purpose, not so much the consumer's. It is a date they use to keep accurate records of their inventory and its history and their inventory's rotation. It provides them with a way to rotate out earlier manufactured items and keep their inventory current.
Unlike dairy products such as butter, milk and yogurt that you purchase in a grocery store, expiration dates on non-perishable items such as the garlic and other natural herbs do not affect freshness. Canned goods have dates on them also. That does not mean the goods are not good after the date stamped on the can has passed. These dates are more for the manufacturer than the consumer. As you see, the box garlic comes in is not hermetically sealed. It is not air tight.
Snow Mountain Garlic is preserved within the external and internal shells. That is to say natural herbs retain a very long extended shelf life after the manufacturer's date stamp. Even after several years the potency of the product remain. Many keep it in the refrigerator after opening the box as they do with other natural, non-perishable herbs.
The current inventory we have does not have date stamps on them, although they are out of a batch that was manufacturer stamped MARCH 2008. THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT THE INVENTORY IS NOT FRESH. It only means that the manufacturer has designated that batch to be delivered to the public by that date. Inventory that is not sold by the manufacturer date is reabsorbed into the inventory and re-dated. Please do not confuse expiration dates on natural herbs with those found on perishables in the grocery store. These are entirely different situations.
Question: How popular is this product?
Reply: This is the only Garlic in the world which grows into natural capsules. There are 62 varieties of Garlic on the earth. This is the only variety that is palatable yet contains strong medicinal qualities. All other garlic has sulfides hence taste and odor are the issue, where this garlic does not have that pungent taste and odor. Once you try it, you will be able to appreciate it. This most natural garlic has wiped out the garlic capsules, or other chemical mixes/processed garlic products from the market especially in the Asian Pacific region. The popularity is growing by word of mouth very fast. Use the product to discover the benefits firsthand. Dr Harendra Joshi is a research scientist and has worked on Garlic for 5 years.
Question: When I think of garlic I think of the kind that can be bought in the grocery store for cooking. I think of eating 2-3 bulbs of raw garlic in the morning before breakfast as not very pleasant tasting.
Reply: In all 17 countries where we are exporting garlic, it is not in a grocery store. It does not look like Garlic; it looks like a peanut and we have designed the box in a such a way that it fits into medicine cabinets. Everywhere it is in drugstores or in health food shops.
Question: What do these bulbs taste like? How does a person take them? With water? Does it leave a garlic taste in the mouth? Do the garlic bulbs upset the stomach?
Reply: The bulbs smell and taste like garlic but it is not as pungent/acrid as cooking garlic because it has more cystide as its natural ingredient. It does not leave any taste after 10 minutes of eating. The best part of garlic is that this can be swallowed without being chewed, like a tablet. This garlic regulates the peristalsis movement of the intestines; hence it does not upset the stomach. In our clinical trials we have found that this garlic never upsets the stomach.
Question: Can this garlic be used for cooking, like the garlic purchased in a grocery store? And what is the difference between this garlic and the grocery store garlic?
Reply: This garlic cannot be used for cooking because it does not have that strong taste and odor like cooking garlic.
