Powdered garlic

Dried, powdered garlic products should be standardized to contain 1.3% alliin (the allicin precursor) or have an allicin -generating potential of 0.6%. Enteric-coated formulations are recommended to minimize degradation of the active substances. A daily dose of 600-900 mg/d of powdered garlic is most common.
