The compounds in Garlic are composed of allicin and diallyl sulphides.The consumption of garlic is different for every person depending needs and tolerances.WHO monograph says that Average daily dosage for 1 clove or 2 - 5 grams of fresh garlic, 0,4 - 1,2 grams of dried garlic powder, 2 - 5 milligrams of garlic oil, 300 - 1000 milligrams of garlic extract (as solid material).Other preparation should correspond to 2 - 5 milligrams of allicin.
