Have all preparations and forms of garlic been found to produce a favorable effect? Explain
No. Garlic can be preserved in many different ways and the method of preservation can have a profound effect on the concentration of ajoene. For example, dried garlic preparations do not contain ajoene. They do contain alliin from which ajoene can be made but it requires the action of the enzyme alliinase. Whether it is present in dried garlic or not depends on the way the garlic was dried. Even if it is there, it is destroyed by a acid medium so the stomach acid inactivates it. If the garlic pill is enteric coated and has been dried properly, it should have some activity1.
