To the best of my knowledge Garlic loses its enzymes rather quickly after being 
cut open. If it is processed then all the enzymes have been killed. The enzymes 
are the herbal remedy.
Best way to use is to take real, cheap , fresh, garlic cloves and slit them 
open lengthwise, with the grain, and then take it maybe with a little olive oil 
to make a smoother trip down the esophagus. Take two or three cloves twice 
daily for best retention of the enzymes.
Slicing across the grain, pressing and chopping or mincing is ok too if used 
right away, but any processed garlic is more than likely dead and cannot 
perform its herbal cure.
If you smell like garlic from taking garlic then your body is kicking out the 
toxins. When all the toxins are gone then there is no objectionable body/breath 
odor.
