🧾 Bottom line
Daily garlic can support heart health, immunity, and inflammation control, but it is not a medicine or cure—and too much can cause side effects.
If you want, I can tell you whether garlic is better raw, cooked, or as supplements for your specific goal (heart, diabetes, weight loss, etc.).
