The main ingredient of Arq Lahsun is garlic (Allium sativum) extract. Research and clinical trials have proven that garlic extract is highly effective in hypercholesterolemia, arteriosclerosis, and hypertension, and is a cost-effective treatment for patients suffering from these diseases.

Another ingredient, Syzygium cumini (Jam), helps normalize the function of insulin secretion.

The active compounds in garlic (such as allicin) help reduce cholesterol synthesis and support blood vessel dilation, which helps lower blood pressure and reduce cardiovascular risk. Syzygium cumini seed extract helps regulate blood sugar levels and improve insulin function. Anacyclus pyrethrum and Piper nigrum support nervous system function.
