    I have a hard time with supplements. There are hundreds of them. They cost a lot. When is supplementation too much (toxic)? What are the interactions? Are they necessary or even desirable? I have taken many, generally for six months or more and have not seen any discernable difference. A Grok query indicates that the effects of taking AGE are mild and questionable and that similar or even better results can be had by eating raw garlic or onions regularly.

    I believe that we get all the nutrition we need from a carnivore diet with the exception of bacterial/virual infections that might need some immune system boosts or malfunctioning organs that need specific treatment.

    Somebody convince me that AGE or any other supplementation is useful please.

    Has an truely independent comparison of effects and outcomes of doses of properly micro-planed fresh garlic puree with its highly active components and mechanisms analyzed been compared to doses of aged garlic extract with its likely somewhat different active components and mechanism analyzed that shows aged garlic extract superior to proper doses of fresh garlic puree?

    Looking for garlic studies just a few years ago I found little, even on safety and that was done in animals.

    My impression reading up a bit about the medicinal use of garlic was fresh garlic puree was most active and, based on animal studies, care must be exercised to prevent harms from dosing too much fresh garlic puree

    For MEDICINAL or Wow! Hot Garlic.
    – use a micro-plane zester, let sit a few minutes, consume raw, mixing
    bits into a mouthful of food. Or, as you will fire breath. Effective
    preventative for social engagement and ????? What I found
    “researching” … micro plane or otherwise puree very fine then let sit
    for 2 min to 10 min (sources vary) for enzyme activity to develop
    “active” properties. use raw or add after cooking and cool down as heat
    breaks down “active” properties.

    Is aged garlic extract really special or high priced hype when compared to simple fresh garlic puree?

    I like snacking on homemade pickled garlic on a regular basis and eat fresh garlic quite often. I go through about a pound of garlic every month. It seems to me that fresh garlic with the active components would be better for the body than a processed garlic. I know heat deactivates some components and makes it less pungent.
