Top Medical Research Studies

We embarked on a study to investigate how garlic, alongside other natural substances, affects the growth of Blastocystis hominis in patients suffering from irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). Our research included stool specimens from both IBS patients and healthy controls to compare their responses to metronidazole (MTZ) and dietary spices like garlic.

As we explored our findings, we discovered that garlic had a significant impact, especially at lower concentrations. Specifically, over half of the B. hominis samples from IBS patients didn’t grow when exposed to garlic at a concentration of 0.01 mg/ml. As we increased the concentration to 0.1 mg/ml, the results were similarly promising, with a notable decrease in cell counts indicating that garlic can effectively inhibit the growth of this parasite in IBS patients.

Although garlic showed effectiveness, it's worth mentioning that some patients showed different responses compared to the healthy controls. For instance, while garlic reduced the B. hominis cell count in IBS patients, the control group experienced no growth of the parasite at the same concentrations. This suggests that the IBS condition may affect how well the garlic works.

Overall, while garlic indicates potential benefits for those battling IBS and Blastocystis hominis, we should also consider further research to fully understand its effectiveness and the nuances of its action in different individuals.
We evaluated the effects of garlic in treating Blastocystis hominis, a common parasite found in patients with irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). In our study, we examined fecal samples from patients, cultivating them to observe the growth of the parasite.

We applied different herbal extracts, including garlic, to see how they influenced the number of parasites present. After a period of 48 hours, we found that garlic significantly reduced the parasite count, with results showing a reduction rate of approximately 92.44% compared to the control group. This is promising news for those looking for alternative treatments alongside traditional methods.

However, it's worth noting that while garlic was effective, other herbs like onion and turmeric did not show significant benefits in reducing the parasite count. Overall, our findings suggest that garlic may be a beneficial addition to treatment options for IBS patients affected by Blastocystis hominis.

Constipation relief
I feel the power of garlic without any odour, allowing me to take it in the morning. I previously suffered from constipation, but as I've continued taking it, the beneficial bacteria have increased, and my bowel movements have significantly improved! I have tried many remedies, but this one truly feels effective.

Improved bowel function
I've been using garlic pills and capsules for a while now, and they seem to benefit my stomach and enhance bowel function.

Bowel function improved
Excellent quality product. The ingredients are well-selected, causing no allergies or negative reactions. The package is ample, and the capsule size is medium with a neutral taste. It arrived quickly and undamaged. The composition is entirely natural, including folic acid. My bowel function and metabolism have improved, with noticeable results after just a week. My nervous system has also started functioning better, reducing my anxiety. I have complete confidence in the vitamin's effectiveness, and I recommend checking the dosage appropriate for your age.
