Efficacy of garlic against colds
Interventions for preventing influenza: An overview of Cochrane systematic reviews and a Bayesian network meta-analysis.
Direct garlic effect on colds
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
-1-Propenylcysteine, a sulfur compound in aged garlic extract, alleviates cold-induced reduction in peripheral blood flow in rat via activation of the AMPK/eNOS/NO pathway.
Study focused on garlic's effects
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.

Garlic and ACV improve cold sores
Transdermal Film Loaded with Garlic Oil-Acyclovir Nanoemulsion to Overcome Barriers for Its Use in Alleviating Cold Sore Conditions.
Garlic's role in ACV efficacy
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.

No more colds
Kyolic. After forty years, I stopped taking them because I really didn't think they helped. Boy was I wrong. When I stopped, I always got sick. I stay on them faithfully now, and I rarely get ill. I haven't had even a minor cold in about six years, despite my immune system being compromised due to a disease I have. So, I highly recommend taking Kyolic!

Cold symptoms reduced
Give your immune system what it needs to stay healthy. I tried this when my immune system was severely compromised, leading to frequent colds. After taking it daily for about 20 days as recommended, I felt much better and stopped experiencing constant virus attacks. That was four years ago, and if I do catch a cold, it only lasts about a day with minimal symptoms. I won't go without it. The seller had a good price and delivered as promised.

No colds even
Great product! Best brand by far. I wouldn't buy anything else. There's no odour or burping up garlic. When I take this regularly in winter, I never catch a cold, even when children are coughing and sneezing around me! My mother was right after all those years of urging me to take this garlic. When I began taking it regularly, that's when I noticed I'm the only one not suffering from a cold or flu when everyone else does.

Fights viruses effectively
Excellent product. I love that it's odourless with antibiotic properties. Garlic is a vegetable, so there's no risk of overdose. I take several capsules every 3-4 hours when battling a cold or other viruses. Pair it with several NOW Elderberry capsules, and you've a powerful team against viruses. Be sure to start at the very first sign of a cold.

Fewer colds
Unexpected benefit! I've taken these for over a year for high blood pressure. I'm unsure if they've helped with that, but unexpectedly, I've had fewer colds and my asthma has improved tremendously. Garlic appears to be anti-inflammatory, so it keeps my air passages open. I will continue taking this.
