I do not deny that garlic oil has health benefits, but I would like to advise consumers not to think that the effects of garlic oil are too miraculous. Advertisements from some manufacturers claim that garlic oil can be anti-thrombotic, anti-tumor, and anti-aging. Some ‘experts’ even sang praises for these products and wrote articles saying that ‘garlic oil pills’ are a savior for patients with cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. In fact, the effect of garlic oil is not that magical.

In the advertising descriptions of these manufacturers, the so-called "garlic oil" refers to an extracted component of garlic, a sulfur-containing volatile oil that accounts for only 2% of the weight of fresh garlic. They claim that this ingredient has extremely high medicinal value. In fact, garlic is just a food and not a medicine. Although garlic as a food can be said to have certain health care effects, it is currently unclear whether it has the so-called "curative effect" and treatment functions. In fact, even the most effective drugs we currently have are not capable of anti-tumor, anti-thrombosis and anti-aging at the same time, let alone just garlic.

However, some scientists are currently engaged in research on using garlic extract components to lower blood fat and cholesterol, but this type of research is currently limited to animal experiments. The little signs of lowering blood lipids and cholesterol seen in animals are still far from clinical application, let alone being sold as drugs.

Garlic is occasionally used clinically, that is, when treating some patients with diarrhea, if there are no antibiotics on hand, garlic can be used as a temporary substitute. But once antibiotics are available, antibiotics should still be the first choice. Today, this kind of situation will generally not happen in hospitals with reasonable conditions

I suggest you decide according to your own situation!
