THE RIGHT WAYS TO CONSUME ACTIVATED GARLIC 
To fully harness the power of activated allicin, consuming garlic raw is the most potent method, as it avoids any heat degradation. However, there are multiple effective and delicious ways to make it part of your routine.
1. The Gold Standard: Raw Garlic on an Empty Stomach 
This is the most direct route for maximizing immune and detox benefits.
- Preparation: Crush 1 fresh clove and allow it to rest for 10 minutes.
- Consumption: Swallowing the crushed clove quickly with a glass of warm water is ideal. If the taste is too strong, you can mash it slightly and mix it with a small teaspoon of raw honey or a splash of lemon juice to mellow the flavor.
- Benefits: Ideal for aggressive immune support during cold and flu season and for daily liver and blood cleansing.
2. Garlic-Infused Olive Oil (Cold Infusion) 
A fantastic way to incorporate activated garlic into your diet without direct consumption.
- Preparation: Mash 5-7 cloves and allow them to rest for 10 minutes to fully activate the allicin. Add the activated garlic to 1 cup of high-quality extra virgin olive oil.
- Use: Store the mixture in a clean, dark glass jar in the refrigerator. Use it as a natural, healthy dressing for salads, a flavorful drizzle over roasted vegetables or whole-grain toast, or a base for homemade dips.
Important Note: Always refrigerate homemade garlic oil and use it within a week. Due to the low-acid environment, storing garlic in oil at room temperature creates a risk of botulism.
3. The Soothing Garlic Infusion (Tea) 
A gentler, warming option for immune and circulation support.
- Preparation: Bring water to a boil, then turn the heat off. Crush 1-2 cloves and let them rest for 10 minutes. Add the activated garlic to the hot water.
- Steep and Serve: Let it steep for 5 minutes, then strain the liquid. Add a slice of lemon and a touch of raw honey for taste and additional health benefits.
- Benefits: A soothing way to support circulation, clear congestion, and boost immunity without the intensity of eating it raw.
