Allium sativum, commonly known as garlic, is a plant traditionally used as both a food ingredient and botanical supplement. Garlic contains naturally occurring sulfur compounds, including allicin, which forms when garlic is crushed or processed. Garlic supplements may use different preparations such as aged garlic extract, garlic powder, or garlic oil, so their composition can vary. Always check the product label for the exact preparation, concentration, serving size, and additional ingredients.
