One of the major health benefits of garlic is that it helps to replenish the lost iron in the body.

Garlic contains Allicin. This sulfuric compound in garlic makes it a cancer-fighter.
Cancer cells are damaged due to dietary and environmental toxins, rampant inflammation, and an immune system in serious risk.
Garlic will target these weak spots in your body giving you an added protection for your immune system.
