We examined the effectiveness of garlic as a treatment to prevent cold symptoms based on a comprehensive review of systematic reviews. This analysis included various studies that compared garlic and other preventative interventions against a control group receiving no treatment or a placebo.
Our findings indicated that garlic demonstrated notable advantages in reducing instances of influenza, a key player in the spectrum of cold-like illnesses. However, we also learned that the evidence surrounding garlic specifically for cold prevention isn't robust enough to make definitive claims.
It's essential to note that while garlic showed potential, vitamin C did not present any significant benefits in this context. Ultimately, the effectiveness of other interventions remains to be convincingly validated with strong scientific evidence.

Garlic improves cold-induced circulation
In our exploration of how garlic affects circulation during cold exposure, we investigated the specific sulfur compound, -1-propenylcysteine, found in aged garlic extract (AGE). Our study examined how this compound could help alleviate the reduction in blood flow when rats were exposed to cold water.
We conducted a series of tests using Wistar rats subjected to a cold treatment after being administered AGE or its individual components, including -1-propenylcysteine, -allylcysteine, and -allylmercaptocysteine. The results revealed that both AGE and -1-propenylcysteine effectively improved blood flow in the rats' tails, especially at a certain dose of -1-propenylcysteine.
Notably, we found that the improvement in blood flow could be linked to a boost in certain blood components and enzymes related to blood circulation. These findings suggest that -1-propenylcysteine plays a significant role in enhancing blood flow during cold exposure by activating specific pathways in the body.
Our research indicates that while garlic components, particularly -1-propenylcysteine, have the potential to benefit circulation in cold conditions, larger studies are needed to fully understand the implications for human health.

We explored the potential of combining garlic oil with acyclovir (ACV) to tackle the challenges of cold sores caused by the herpes simplex virus. By creating a unique nanoemulsion delivery system, we aimed to enhance how effective ACV is in treating these annoying outbreaks.
Our work involved developing a garlic oil-acylcovir nanoemulsion, which we then incorporated into a transdermal film. This innovative approach was put to the test for its ability to improve skin absorption of the medication. The results were quite promising, showing that our formulation significantly increased ACV's effectiveness compared to regular transdermal methods. We observed a remarkable 2.3 times increase in the absorption of ACV when combined with garlic oil, indicating that garlic may indeed amplify its therapeutic benefits.
However, while this study shows that garlic oil can enhance the performance of acyclovir, we must note that the isolated effects of garlic on cold sores cannot be fully established, as it was tested alongside ACV. Overall, our findings suggest that the garlic oil-ACV blend does make strides toward more effective treatment options for cold sores, paving the way for future explorations in this area of research.

Without any doubts! SUPER MEANS! I take two capsules with meals for three months. The product is GMP certified. Tachycardia has disappeared, and I no longer experience shortness of breath after climbing to the fifth floor. I am very pleased with the purchased product, which serves as an excellent prophylactic remedy for colds. The results were noticeable after just two weeks of use! There is no heartburn or unpleasant odour. I am thoroughly delighted; this medication truly works and my entire family uses it. This is my product for life! Be healthy!!!

Useful garlic without smell and taste! I could list the benefits of garlic extensively, but the main issue for me had always been its odour until I discovered this product. My husband's intake resulted in lower cholesterol and normalised blood pressure after about 5.5 months. A significant "side" effect has been that no one in our family has been seriously ill with viral infections or colds throughout the year of using this product. If someone did fall ill, the illness passed quickly and mildly. Undoubtedly, there are effects and benefits to this product! We trust the manufacturer and have no urge to switch despite cheaper alternatives, so we often buy the largest packages for future use.

Vitamin E mitigates respiratory damage
We investigated how exposure to ultrafine particles (UFPs) in cold and humid environments impacts respiratory health. Using a controlled study with male Balb/c mice, we found that exposure to carbon black nanoparticles worsened lung function and increased inflammation and oxidative stress.
Notably, the combination of UFPs and cold-humid conditions intensified these adverse effects. However, when we administered Vitamin E, it helped reduce these harmful impacts. This suggests that Vitamin E could be a potential protector against indoor air pollutants, offering insights for healthier living spaces.

This supplement has significantly altered my habits. Previously, I suffered from cold hands and feet due to poor blood circulation. However, after taking it for around five months, I no longer need to warm myself as I used during the day. My hands and feet remain much warmer at any time.
