    Anyone here use fresh garlic with their food? I have a garlic press I use in the kitchen. Can I get fresh garlic cloves and make my own garlic juice?

    Thanks Sostoudt!

    How much of the fresh garlic juice would you normally soak the food in and is it any better or worse then something like Garlic Extreme?

    I would say its much stronger, i didn't do it long enough to get the dosage right. one clove of garlic crushed in 10-20 ml of water is extremely strong if you let it sit for a day.

    I would say my fish at the time weren't hugely excited by the home version or store bought supplements.
