Guest guest Posted December 30, 2007 Report Share Posted December 30, 2007 We use both!! I add to food of coarse! When a horrible bug strikes our family we use the chopped form/then crush/swallow, kills the virus by the next day typically! You can mix in something like pudding, whipped creme and then makes easier to swallow!! Sometimes we just go ahead and chew the stuff(especially if sore throat is present)! I find that the pill form doesnt work as well with viruses etc issues. But has worked well with my husbands blood pressure. I think the pill form is to proccessed for viral. The ingredient allican is activated once crushed/chewed and needs to be ingested within a few minutes. When cooking with garlic, wait until the very end of cooking befor adding. But pill form would be better than nothing. I would recommend the oil form. http://www.phytochemicals.info/phytochemicals/allicin.php http://www.garlic.mistral.co.uk/ > > Ok, on monday My son had the mother of all poops.
