The benefits of garlic are potent, irrefutable and evident.
Benefits of Garlic:

Lots of people ask me the Best time to take your supplements – so I hope this helps:
- Vitamin Bs or Vitamin C – anytime you like, with or without food
- Fat soluble nutrients (A, D, E, K2) – best with food and fats
- D3 & K2 – try not to take these with dairy as the calcium will block uptake
- Greens are best with fats, as chlorophyll is fat soluble
- Enzymes just before you eat
- Herbs can be taken at any time
- Electrolytes better on an empty stomach (your minerals)
- Probiotics before bed on an empty stomach
Why nutritional supplements are beneficial:
- Food isn’t what it used to be – food comes from far away, irradiated, old, loses nutrients
- Digestion – it’s about more than digestion, it’s about what we eat, digest, absorb and assimilate so more nutrients may be needed
- Environmental toxins like sprays – reduces nutrient content
- Nutrients are lost by the way we prepare food or eating a lot of processed food
- Stress – if you are stressed you need more nutrition
- Disease prevention
So eat GOOD whole food, and take your supplements.…
