How Allicin is Protecting Pets, Farm Animals and Even Honey Bees

How Allicin is Protecting Pets, Farm Animals and Even Honey Bees

For centuries, garlic has been prized for its remarkable health benefits, celebrated for its ability to fight infections, boost immunity, and support overall wellbeing. But while its benefits for humans are well known, using garlic for animals is more complicated.

The truth is, raw garlic contains compounds that can be toxic to some pets and livestock, especially in large amounts. And even when used cautiously, there’s a bigger challenge: animals often can’t access garlic’s most potent healing compound — allicin — in its raw form.

Allicin is powerful, but unstable. By the time it passes through the digestive system, it’s usually destroyed before it can do any good. That’s where science steps in — offering a solution that makes garlic’s best benefits safe and effective for animals.

Unpacking Allicin: Nature’s Defence Mechanism

 

Garlic has been used as a natural remedy for thousands of years – and at the heart of its healing power is a remarkable compound called allicin. But what makes allicin so special, and how does it help protect not just humans, but animals too?

What Is Allicin?

Allicin is a biologically active sulphur compound produced by garlic when its cloves are cut, crushed, or otherwise damaged. This reaction is no accident. It occurs when two components within the garlic – alliin, a sulphur-containing amino acid, and alliinase, an enzyme – combine. Under normal conditions, these are stored separately in the garlic’s cells. But once the garlic is broken, the two mix, sparking a powerful chemical reaction that forms allicin.

This is the source of garlic’s pungent aroma – and its incredible antimicrobial capabilities.

Garlic’s Natural Immune System

In nature, garlic uses allicin as a self-defence mechanism. The compound is released to fend off microbial threats in the soil, including bacteria, fungi, and parasites. This is why garlic is one of the only vegetables that rarely rots – it’s actively fighting off pathogens in its environment.

Allicin acts much like a natural antibiotic, but with a broader range of action. It can:

  • Inhibit the reproduction of bacteria and fungi

  • Disrupt viral replication

  • Interfere with parasite survival

  • Stimulate immune cell activity

  • Penetrate microbial cell walls and kill pathogens directly

Because of this, allicin has earned the title of nature’s antibiotic, antifungal, antiviral, and antiparasitic agent – all rolled into one.

Why It’s So Powerful

The secret to allicin’s power lies in its chemical structure. It is a highly reactive molecule that targets the proteins and enzymes critical for microbial survival. Researchers have shown that allicin is capable of neutralising even antibiotic-resistant strains of bacteria, including MRSA and E. coli, by completely destroying the microbes – rather than merely weakening them.

It’s also thought to support the host’s immune system by boosting the activity of white blood cells and other immune defences, making it not only a microbial killer, but also an immune enhancer.

The Problem With Raw Allicin for Animals

Despite its promise, raw allicin is unstable. As soon as it’s exposed to air, heat, or light, it begins to break down rapidly. Worse still, when ingested, it cannot survive the acidic conditions of the stomach. In animals and humans alike, raw allicin is destroyed before it can be absorbed, meaning they miss out on its many benefits.

This presents a real challenge for using garlic therapeutically in pets and livestock. While garlic contains beneficial compounds, it also carries toxicity risks for some animals (especially in large quantities). And without a way to stabilise allicin, its most powerful properties are lost before they can help.

Fortunately, science has found a solution – and that’s where Allisure® and AlliTech come in.

The Breakthrough: Stabilised Allicin (Allisure®) in AlliTech

 

Recognising the limitations of raw garlic and unstable allicin, researchers set out to develop a way to preserve allicin’s powerful properties without the breakdown caused by heat, light, and digestion. The result of this innovation is Allisure® – a patented, stabilised form of allicin that retains all the antimicrobial and immune-supporting potency of fresh garlic, but in a form that’s both safe and effective for animals.

Allisure® – Science Meets Nature

Allisure® is the key active ingredient in AlliTech, and it represents a major breakthrough in natural health supplementation. Through a patented purification process, allicin is extracted and stabilised in a liquid form, resulting in the world’s first health supplement to deliver 100% bioavailable allicin. This process locks in the integrity of the molecule, preventing it from degrading before it can be used by the body.

Unlike raw allicin, which is highly volatile and destroyed in the digestive tract, stabilised Allisure® allicin can be absorbed directly into the bloodstream where it can begin working almost immediately.

Why This Matters for Animals

This stabilisation makes a significant difference – especially for pets, farm animals, and even honey bees, whose digestive systems either destroy raw allicin or are sensitive to raw garlic’s other compounds. With Allisure®, animals can now access the full benefits of allicin’s:

  • Antibacterial

  • Antifungal

  • Antiviral

  • Antiparasitic

  • Immune-boosting effects

AlliTech harnesses this innovation, delivering stabilised allicin in a form that’s both potent and practical.

AlliTech – The First and Only Liquid Allisure® Supplement

AlliTech is unique in the natural supplement market: it’s the first and only Allisure® product available in liquid form. This liquid formulation has been specially developed for animal use, allowing for rapid absorption and versatile application. Whether administered orally or applied topically, AlliTech ensures that animals receive the maximum benefit from stabilised allicin without the risks or limitations of raw garlic.

This advancement means that veterinary-grade allicin support is now accessible, offering a reliable, natural solution for a wide range of health concerns across animal species.

Why AlliTech for Animals?

 

While many garlic-based supplements exist, AlliTech stands apart as a product specially developed for animal use. It’s not a repurposed human supplement – it’s been carefully formulated with the unique needs of animals in mind. That’s why AlliTech for Animals is not for human consumption, and should only be used under appropriate veterinary guidance.

A Powerful Natural Support Supplement

AlliTech is a high-strength feed supplement containing 100% stabilised Allisure® allicin extract. This makes it one of the most potent and bioavailable forms of natural immune and infection support for animals available today. It delivers all the benefits of allicin – antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antiparasitic, and immune-stimulating – in a stable, easy-to-administer format.

Versatile Use – Oral and Topical

One of the key advantages of AlliTech is its versatility:

  • Oral Use: Can be added to food, water, or administered directly into the mouth, depending on the animal and condition.

  • Topical Use: Can be applied directly to wounds, skin infections, bites, or fungal patches for targeted relief.

This dual-application approach allows pet owners, farmers, and animal carers to tailor their use of AlliTech to suit a wide range of issues – from internal infections to external parasites or lesions.

Always Consult Your Vet

While AlliTech has been used successfully with dogs, cats, cows, horses, and even bees, it’s important to remember that every animal is different. Always consult with your veterinarian before introducing any new supplement, especially if your animal is on medication or has underlying health issues.
