Garlic polysaccharides improve anemia
We delved into the potential of garlic polysaccharides derived from garlic pomace as effective carriers for iron, aiming to address anemia. The research focused on how these garlic polysaccharides (GPs) can enhance iron supplementation compared to traditional methods.

During the study, we discovered that the GP-Fe (III) complexes not only had a higher molecular weight but also contained a significant percentage of iron. This transformation seems to enhance their efficacy in delivering iron within the body. The GPs displayed notable interactions with iron, leading to reduced crystallinity and improved stability, suggesting they can withstand gastrointestinal conditions effectively.

Importantly, our findings showed that these complexes were more beneficial in treating iron deficiency anemia in mice than conventional iron supplements like FeSO. The results indicated enhanced hematological factors, improved iron levels, and a reduction in oxidative damage, showcasing the GPs’ role in supporting better health outcomes for those struggling with anemia.

Overall, this study underscores the promise of garlic-derived iron supplements in enhancing our approach to treating anemia effectively while also promoting the use of agricultural byproducts like garlic pomace.

Anemia has eased

The pre-eclipse anaemia has certainly improved. However, after experiencing a peculiar odour emanating from my body, I decided to stop taking half a meal. Thankfully, that strange smell disappeared!
7.5
Effective for anaemia
The doctor prescribed garlic while I was undergoing parasite treatment. When combined with other medications, it proved effective. It works well as an antiviral agent and is beneficial for anaemia and heart issues.
