- IT BOOSTS THE IMMUNE SYSTEM
Per a study published in The Journal of Nutrition, “Garlic contains numerous compounds that have the potential to influence immunity.” Immune cells are responsible for modifying the inflammatory response – a process that, if either suppressed or excitatory, can lead to illness and disease.
The same study – a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial – discovered that participants who consumed aged garlic extract (AGE) over a 90-day period tested for:
Reduced cold and flu severity
Less severe symptoms while sick
Fewer self-reported days of “suboptimal” functioning
Fewer missed days of school and work
These results led the authors to conclude that AGE supplementation may enhance immune cell function while reducing the effects of cold and flu symptoms.
