yes, that's true. actually, there are a lot of supplements out in the market with garlic as their main ingredient. but personally, i don't like garlic. when i cook, i use powdered garlic (not the fresh one). i just don't like bitting a chunk of garlic in a soup or viand (even in fried rice). my mom always jokes that i'm a vampire. hehehe, i wouldn't complain---because this is the only way to make her stop putting smashed garlic cloves in my food. sometimes i don't use salt, just garlic powder.
