The dietary use of garlic and thyme has been traced back thousands of years. Egyptian papyrus dating back to 1500 B.C. listed 22 health uses for garlic. Today, we are beginning to understand how it works. Garlic and Thyme, the two powerful antioxidants found in Forever Thyme and Garlic, combine to create a wonderful tool for maintaining good health. When garlic is chopped or crushed, enzymes react to produce a powerful immune-boosting agent. Studies have shown that other components of garlic help the metabolism process, converting fats into energy and protecting the body from free radicals. Thyme contains saponins and other beneficial antioxidants.
