Most clinical studies showing benefits have used standardized garlic extract supplements, often in the range of 600-1200 mg daily, though whole garlic as part of regular cooking is also traditionally valued. It is best to consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

Can I take garlic supplements with my heart medication?
