How to Take Your Daily Garlic
There are two ways of taking , and in the form of capsules.Of the two, the latter is more important ecause fresh garlic alone will not provide you with enough of the active sulphur compounds.
There are about thirty different companies supplying garlic supplements in capsule of tablet form. some of which contain added vitamins or fish oil.
A garlic preparation which has had its effect on human patients adequately researched is Hofel’s Cardiomax, garlic oil capsules, which I can recommend as the result of my research.
The suggested dose of Hofel’s Cardiomax capsules is one a day which seems fine for most people but if you wish to significantly reduce your blood cholesterol levels, three capsules daily in more realistic. Three will give a daily dose of 12mg garlic oil.
But please do not stop taking any prescribed medication without first consulting your doctor.
However, Hofel’s garlic oil is encapsulated in gelatine and is unsuitable for vegans. If you are vegetarian I would suggest you try garlic tablets with parsley.
I also regard free radicals as a source of many health problems, so I take a capsule each of the antioxidants vitamin E, selenium and vitamin C. All the capsules mentioned here are available in health food Shops.
FRESH GARLIC
It is easy enough to eat garlic in your food, most supermarkets and lots of greengrocers now sell garlic, so you should have no trouble obtaining it.
Dealing with Garlic Breath
A lot of people worry about smelling unpleasant after eating garlic. Chewing a little parsley or sucking a slice of lemon will help to remove the smell of garlic from your breath.
