Garlic is a powerful detoxifying agent that can protect against various liver toxins. In an experimental study, garlic protected against acetaminophen induced liver toxicity. This means that individuals who are taking Tylenol® may find garlic is beneficial.

In addition to its liver and heart-protective activity, garlic may also provide protection against cancer by mobilizing the effectiveness of the body's immune system.
