GARLIC, ORGANIC — The Garlic is designed to offer a potent antimicrobial support.*

Antimicrobial: Garlic offers a broad-spectrum antimicrobial for GI pathogenic infections from bacteria to viruses to yeast/mold and Protozoa (i.e., giardia, Cryptosporidium, amoebae, H. pylori, and more). Take 1-2 capsules once or twice a day. Each capsule has five garlic cloves.*

Cold/Flu: Take 1-2 garlic capsules at the onset of a cold or flu, twice a day. For sore throat, open 1-2 capsule in a cup of water, mix and let it ‘react’ to create the antimicrobial allicin. Drink slowly. Add to the water 1 teaspoon of Original for added immune boosting nutrients.*

Immune support: Take 1 capsule of garlic a day. Add 1 teaspoon of Original, dissolve in mouth.*

Heart health: take 1 capsule a day to boost heart health.*

DNA integrity: Garlic is shown to support DNA integrity against carcinogens. Take also during cancer treatment to support cells and DNA integrity. *

Our Favorite: As a powerful antimicrobial, the Garlic is so useful. We find that one capsule added to our salad dressings, sprinkled on our veggies, and added to soups (after taken off the heat) helps keep our immune system happy.*
