I use garlic too...it's healthy. I use it for myself, I use it for my fish. Remember, just because a little is healthy, that doesn't mean a lot is even more healthy....in fact, quite the opposite. Unlike water soluble supplements where an overdose is simply excreted out, an overdoes of fat soluble supplement is stored. Some componenets of garlic are water soluble and most are fat soluble so an overdose is possible.

I hope you also supplement your foods with HUFAs and vitamins in addition to the garlic. In particular Vitamin C which is about as unstable as Allicin. (Ever notice that your multi-vitamin has 700% of your RDA? That's how it was brand new at the factory. By the time you swallow that same pill it might be providing 25% of the RDA. However, if you're taking a brand new pill, you won't overdose, it's water-soluble and you'll simply excrete the excess).

Thank you Inwall75 , appreciated and over use is something I do need to be aware of.

HUFA's Im not at present.
Vitamins - yes but only in the amounts that are present in the pellet options I use ( Spetrum THERA + and Ocean Nutrition ) 2 or 3 times a week (I like to vary foods and go between frozen, FD, flakes and Pellets
