Zoecon is another vitamin supplement like Selcon and Vita-Chem. It doesn't contain garlic extract, as far as I know.
Even if the 'Z' contains garlic extract it will not be helpful imho. There is much debate about what substance or substances in garlic that are of benefit. Currently the thought is that Allicin, released by crushing fresh garlic, is the substance with the most medicinal benefit.
This substance quickly (hours) degrades so the bottled formulas are near worthless, unless there is another substance, as yet unrecognized, that will have some medicinal benefits within the bottled garlic extract that helps.
There is no scientific study that would prove/dissprove that garlic is of any benefit to swf.
There is anecdotal suggestions that it may help boost the swf immune system. I do use it at times, but I doubt it does as much as some people claim.
It is reported to help humans/mammals. There are no peer reviewed studies in the human/veterinarian literature that supports that claim(s). I like garlic. I eat it on many things. I hope it helps my immune system. It may...or may not.
