Garlic<br />
Garlic has been shown to inhibit the activity of the inflammatory<br />
enzymes cyclooxygenase and lipoxygenase and affect macrophage<br />
function. Again, though, while eating additional garlic is likely a good<br />
strategy, garlic extracts may be required <strong>for</strong> more measurable antiinflammatory<br />
effects.<br />
Typically recommended dosing is 2-4 g of whole garlic clove each day<br />
(each clove is 1 g) or 600-1200 mg of supplemental aged garlic extract.
