What Ramps Wild Leek Extract is, and what it does.

Does it work
Suits cooks who like the flavour and anyone exploring alliums beyond garlic. No human trial has been run on ramps itself, so garlic is where the studied record sits.
How much to take
No established dose. Eat seasonally as food.
Time to feel it
Nobody has measured this in people. The flavour and the garlic-like breath are immediate, and there is no timeline on record for anything beyond that.
The first dose
Day one is flavour, plus a garlic-like note on your breath within a couple of hours. Nothing beyond that has been measured in people on a first day.
With regular use
Regular allium consumption has general health benefits.
How well tolerated
Well tolerated as food. Don't over-forage (conservation issue).
How it feels
Pungent, flavorful eating experience. No supplement effects.
The overlooked benefit
The sulfur compounds only form once the leaf is cut or crushed, so chopped fresh leaf carries more of them than an intact bulb sitting in a basket.

200 to 500mg a day is where Ramps Wild Leek Extract works.

Questions people ask about Ramps Wild Leek Extract.

What do ramps taste like?
Strong garlic-onion flavor with a hint of sweetness. More pungent than leeks, more complex than garlic. The leaves are milder than the bulbs.
Are they better than garlic?
Not nutritionally. They're a gourmet food, not a superior medicine. Garlic has extensive research, ramps have none. Use ramps for flavor.
Can I take ramp supplements?
You'd be hard-pressed to find them. No one really makes ramp supplements. This is a food, not a supplement category.
Where do I find them?
Eastern North American forests in spring (April-May). Farmers markets, specialty grocers. Or forage yourself if you know how.
Is foraging sustainable?
Questionable. Ramps grow slowly and are being over-harvested in some areas. Take only what you need and never uproot entire patches.
