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. *
