Would you do me the honors, please 

Garlic does have tremendous health benefits.It has even been know to shrink the fibroid gland and to fight fungal infections like ezcema amongst  many other benefits.

It's just that most people can't stand the strong smell.But that isn't really a problem if you are taking Swissgarde (A South African Health company) Natural food supplements.The capsule doesn't have as strong a smell as the raw garlic and it contains the complete dose required for its effectiveness in one capsule.

To order the capsules you can visit :http://www.freewebs.com/natureandhealth/ourproducts.htm or call 084-745332.

what do u do about the smell tho. . . .  really can't stand it 

Garlic, can't live without it, its one a day for me.

Yes it does.Those authentic claims you can verify from the internet.Thats why people always give you an unbelievable stare when you tell them that a nutritional supplement has multiple benefits.

I wish i can take my mind off the smell and try it too
