Garlic

What people take garlic for

• Cardiovascular support — garlic is most associated with heart and circulatory wellness, and is often part of a routine alongside things like cholesterol support.
• Immune support — a traditional go-to during the colder months.
• Circulation — sits in the same blood-flow space as nitric oxide and nattokinase for those building a cardiovascular routine.
• Antioxidant support — contributes to the body's defence against oxidative stress.

Choosing a garlic supplement

• Allicin-standardized (e.g. Allimax, NOW) — measured for allicin so potency is consistent; the number to compare if that's your focus.
• Aged garlic extract (e.g. Kyolic) — aged to be gentler on digestion; the form most used for long-term cardiovascular routines.
• Black garlic — fermented, mellow, naturally odourless.
• Odourless capsules & softgels — for everyday use without the garlic smell.
• Liquid & oil extracts — for those who prefer a non-capsule form.

A note on garlic

Generally well tolerated, though some people get mild digestive upset, bloating, or a lingering aftertaste. Because garlic can have a mild blood-thinning effect, higher doses may matter if you take blood-thinning medication — check with a healthcare provider before use, and especially if you're pregnant, breastfeeding, managing a condition, or due for surgery.
