GARLIC AND THE HEALTHY PREGNANCY

GARLIC's antibacterial and antifungal characteristics make it an ideal nutrient to consume, particularly during preganancy. GARLIC will enhance the mothers immune system which in turn will enhance her odds on having a healthy preganancy and most importantly a healthy baby. In our research in this matter we found a study that was conducted with GARLIC tablets.

This was very reassuring because when GARLIC is used in it's natural organic state the benefits will far exceed any results from the use of the GARLIC tablets produced today.

New research shows that taking GARLIC during pregnancy can cut the risk of pre-eclampsia (raised blood pressure and protein retained in the urine). Studies reveal that GARLIC may help to boost the birth weight of babies destined to be too small. The research was carried out by Dr D. Sooranna, Ms J. Hirani and Dr I. Das in the Academic Department of Obstertrics & Gynaecology at the Chelsea & Westminster Hospital in London, UK.

They concluded that although pre-eclampsia and growth retardation are complex multifactoral conditions, taking standardized garlic tablets throughout pregnancy may decrease the chances of these types of complications at birth. They focused on growth retarded-babies and pre-eclampsia, a potentially dangerous condition for mother and baby which occurs in about one in ten pregnancies.

Experiments by the research team showed that adding extracts of GARLIC to cells from the placenta of women likely to suffer from these conditions was able to quickly stimulate growth. Furthermore, the activity of key enzymes that are reduced in the abnormal pregnancies were significantly increased when GARLIC was added.
