Abstract in brief

  • Research indicates that garlic can effectively reduce total and LDL cholesterol levels in people with mildly elevated cholesterol, particularly when consumed for over two months.
  • Additionally, garlic boosts the immune system by enhancing immune cell activity and has been linked to reduced incidence and severity of upper respiratory infections.
