Published studies demonstrate garlic’s immune-supporting properties and numerous other health benefits. Garlic is reported to stimulate certain immune system-specific responses, including macrophage activity, natural killer and killer cells, and LAK cells, and to increase the production of IL-2, TNF, and interferon-gamma.1 Clinical studies show that as little as 1.8 g of aged garlic extract is effective in beneficially effecting human immune responses.2
Life Extension’s Pure Gar supplements provide 10,000 ppm (15.5 mg) of allicin potential, a key health-promoting component of non-aged garlic.3-15 In fact, studies have highlighted allicin’s involvement in immune response and oxidative stress.1,16 |
