There are some reports that indicate that the substances contained in garlic can lead to a faster breakdown of estrogen, thereby causing a weakening of the effect of contraceptive pills. However, there is no exact data on this subject, and thus it is impossible to determine what dose of garlic causes such an effect.

In order to strengthen the immune system, you can also use such preparations as: fish oil, shark liver oil or vitamin D3. In their case, there are no reports of interactions with birth control pills.
