Garlic may complement an overall healthy lifestyle, but it should never replace professional medical care.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is raw garlic better than cooked garlic?
Raw garlic contains more active allicin because prolonged cooking can reduce its formation. However, cooked garlic still provides valuable nutrients and antioxidants.
How much garlic is generally considered safe?
For most healthy adults, consuming garlic in normal culinary amounts is considered safe. If you’re considering larger amounts or supplements, consult your healthcare provider—especially if you take medications or have chronic health conditions.
