No. Will it hurt you? No. But all claims that dietary supplements make are false.
If you don't eat right, you might want to take a multi-vitamin daily. But other than that, taking extra does no good.
They don't prevent diseases or cure diseases. And most dietary supplements react badly to prescription drugs. So if you are prescribed something by your doctor, let him/her know about any supplements you take.
Guidelines for Use -
It's a good idea to take garlic with food to buffer its strong odor and aftertaste.
Because heating garlic can destroy many of its therapeutic compounds, it's best to rely on supplements when treating a specific disorder. Studies indicate, however, that letting crushed raw garlic rest for 10 minutes before heating does increase levels of allicin and other beneficial compounds.
Many experts contend that supplements made from pure garlic powder are the most effective.
So-called deodorized capsules may effectively remove odor, but manufacturing processes may deplete the garlic's therapeutic effects.
In fact, if strong garlic breath normally discourages you from taking this herb, try enteric-coated supplements. By passing undigested through the stomach and into the intestines, these pills dramatically reduce the risk for bad breath. They also promote full absorption of the allicin.
Garlic supplements can be taken indefinitely.
General Interaction -
Because medicinal amounts of garlic may intensify the effects of medications designed to prevent blood clots (anticoagulants or aspirin) or to reduce high blood pressure (antihypertensives), consult your doctor before combining garlic and these drugs.
Garlic may interfere with the action of drugs that lower blood sugar; consult your doctor before taking both at the same time.
Possible Side Effects -
Some people have trouble digesting garlic, which can irritate the stomach lining and cause nausea or intestinal gas. Large doses in particular can cause heartburn and diarrhea.
Large quantities of garlic can cause body odor and bad breath. This is particularly problematic for people who lack the liver processing system for detoxifying allicin.
Cautions -
Avoid garlic supplements before surgery because the herb's anticlotting actions may prolong bleeding from a surgical wound.
If you plan to take garlic for cholesterol problems, have your doctor check your cholesterol levels after three months to see if they have changed; if they haven't, talk with your doctor about other options.
Avoid taking garlic supplements or consuming medicinal amounts of garlic during pregnancy; although no problems have been reported, lab tests suggest that irregular uterine contractions may develop.
Maybe... if you believe it works.
Taking Garlic pills is not as effective as taking real garlic.try 1/2 to 1 clove per day. or just mixing it into foods you already eat.
It's supposed to be good for the heart, immune system, and fighting free radicals in your body.
I've been taking it for a year now, though, and haven't noticed any difference. The worst part is the indigestion that comes with the pills. Let me know if you've had any noticeable results. I haven't...
good luck...
