HOW ALLICIN LAUNCHES WARFARE ON GERMSAllicin and its breakdown products donβt just inhibit growth; they launch a multi-pronged, full-scale chemical assault against pathogens. This multi-mechanism attack is precisely why pathogens find it incredibly difficult to develop resistance against garlic.π‘οΈ Protein Deactivation: Allicin is highly reactive with the sulfhydryl groups of various essential proteins and enzymes inside bacteria, fungi, and viruses. It essentially βclogsβ the vital cellular machinery that these pathogens need to metabolize, function, and reproduce, leading swiftly to their destruction.𧬠DNA and RNA Disruption: Research indicates that garlicβs organosulfur compounds actively interfere with the synthesis of DNA and RNA. This cripples the pathogenβs ability to replicate, halting the infection from spreading and preventing the passing on of genetic material.π¦
