Garlic Plus Vitamin C
For Cold and Flu Season

Garlic plus C is the ideal supplement for the cold and flu season and for reinforcement of your immune system. Allicin-rich garlic is a strong antimicrobial herb which can prevent the growth of bacteria and fungi. The allicin in garlic interferes with the respiration and reproduction of microorganisms and can prevent their further growth. Because garlic has this bacteriostatic effect, it is best used on a preventative level and should be taken daily.

Vitamin C has long been known for its ability to lessen the severity of the common cold, and has been championed by two-time Nobel Laureate, Dr. Linus Pauling. He advocated large doses of Vitamin C for cold prevention because it decreases the levels of histamine in the bloodstream. It is histamine that causes the runny-nose and watery-eyes that usually accompany a cold. There are also indications that Vitamin C may have some antiviral activity, and it is a well noted anti-oxidant.

Together, Garlic and Vitamin C can keep the immune system stronger and help prevent the onset of infection. To assure they are easy on the system, the garlic has been “buffered” and odor-controlled and the Vitamin C is in the form of Calcium Ascorbate to prevent upset stomach. This potent combination is formulated in a base of alfalfa powder, vanilla, spearmint and chlorophyll. *
