There is variation among garlic products and some odorless garlic preparations may not contain active compounds.

Here's an interesting example: A dose of 600 mg of garlic extract typically produces 3,600 mcg (micrograms) of allicin. A dose of fresh garlic—about one clove—typically produces approximately 18,300 mcg of allicin.
Obviously, the whole-foods version is more powerful. Moreover, you're more certain of getting the complete package of health boosters that garlic has to offer.

If you do, however, decide to try garlic powder, a reasonable dose is 300 mg of garlic powder, three times a day.
