Polysulfides are phytochemicals in a class of chemical compounds containing chains of sulfur atoms, belonging to the group of Organosulfides found abundantly in the oxidized product, including beer, wine, whiskey, garlic oil, etc.

The immune system is the set of cells and their activity against antigens or infectious agents that comprise the body's defense system against diseases. The immune system does a great job of keeping people healthy and preventing infections. Besides foods and nutritional supplements, herbs also play an important role in helping the immune system defend against viruses and bacteria attacks.

A range of sulfur-containing natural products showed to inhibit their antioxidant, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antifungal, and anticancer properties, through specific chemical properties that converge in chemotypes, including polysulfides(1).

Garlic extracts and individual components, i.e., allicin, ajoene, polysulfides, and essential oil, showed significant antifungal activity, according to Katedra farmaceutické Botany an ecology Farmaceutické faculty University Karlovy(2). Polysulfides, through their biological activity, showed effectively against candidosis in mice, according to the 1Pharmaceutical Research Laboratories III, Takeda Chemical Industries, Japan(3).
