Garlic is sold in bulbs (or "heads"). The picture at the top of this page shows a single bulb. Each bulb can contain up to twenty individual cloves.

First of all, it is important to understand that whenever garlic is processed in any way, whether cooked, crushed, pickled or aged, as our product is, the chemistry changes. For that reason, one form of garlic cannot be compared to or considered equal to another form. If you look at active ingredients, 1 gram of raw garlic contains only 50 mcg of S-allyl cysteine (SAC), but 1 gram of KYOLIC® Aged Garlic Extract™ contains 1,000 mcg of SAC. See similar questions...

In addition, most compact fluorescent lamps have an "integral" ballast that is built into the light bulb, whereas most fluorescent tubes require a separate ballast independent of the bulb. Both types offer energy-efficient light. See similar questions...

Blacklights are bulbs made with a special glass that filters out most visible light; instead, they emit a specific type of ultraviolet light called UVA. Blacklights are good for making certain substances glow that would normally be invisible. For example, you may have had your hand stamped at an amusement park with an invisible ink that, when viewed under a blacklight, glowed a bright neon color. Blacklights are available in Fluorescent and Incandescent. See similar questions...

Lamp modules accompany with a cage/housing while there is no cage/housing attached for projector bulbs.
