What is O2B Garlic?
O2B Garlic is a high-strength, odourless garlic supplement providing the equivalent of 10,000mg of garlic in each capsule.
It is designed to support cardiovascular health, healthy circulation, respiratory wellbeing, digestive health and normal immune function.
Does the capsule physically contain 10,000mg of powder?
No standard-sized capsule can contain 10g of powder.
The 10,000mg figure describes the equivalent amount of starting garlic represented by a concentrated extract.
What does “odourless garlic” mean?
Odourless garlic is processed to reduce the strong smell and taste commonly associated with fresh garlic.
Individual experiences vary, so some people may still notice a mild aftertaste, digestive effect or garlic scent.
What is allicin?
Allicin is a sulphur-containing compound formed when the enzyme alliinase acts on alliin after garlic is crushed or otherwise processed.
The amount produced by a supplement depends on its formulation, manufacturing method and alliinase activity.
What is O2B Garlic used for?

- Cardiovascular wellbeing
- Healthy circulation

Can I take O2B Garlic with warfarin?
No, not unless the clinician managing your anticoagulant treatment has expressly approved it.
We advise against combining it with warfarin, Coumadin or other blood-thinning medication.
Can I take it with aspirin?
Speak with your doctor or pharmacist first.
Aspirin affects platelet function, and concentrated garlic supplements may further increase bleeding risk.
What about other blood thinners?
Seek professional advice before combining garlic with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines, including prescription products used to reduce blood clotting.
Do not stop a prescribed medicine in order to take a garlic supplement.
Do I need to stop garlic before surgery?
The existing directions advise stopping it at least two weeks before and after surgery.
Confirm the current label and follow the specific instructions given by your surgeon, anaesthetist or prescriber. Supplements can influence bleeding and may interact with medicines used around surgery.
Should I tell my dentist that I take garlic capsules?
Yes, particularly before an extraction, implant or another procedure that may cause bleeding.
Can I take O2B Garlic during pregnancy or breastfeeding?
Consult your midwife, doctor or pharmacist before using a concentrated garlic supplement during pregnancy or breastfeeding.
The amounts used in ordinary food are different from a high-strength extract.
Can I take it if I have hypothyroidism?
People with low thyroid function should avoid it.
Can children take O2B Garlic?
The supplied direction is for adults.
Do not give this high-strength product to a child unless a qualified healthcare professional has advised it.
Can I combine it with O2B Viro-go or Immune Boost?
These products may contain other herbs that can influence immunity, digestion or bleeding risk.
Do not automatically stack several herbal formulas. Compare the complete ingredient panels and ask a healthcare professional or pharmacist when unsure.
Can I take it with fish oil, turmeric or ginkgo?
Fish oil, turmeric and ginkgo are commonly used supplements, and each may be relevant when reviewing overall bleeding risk.
Ask a healthcare professional before combining several concentrated supplements, especially when taking aspirin, anticoagulants or preparing for surgery.
Does garlic replace eating fresh garlic?
No. Fresh garlic contributes flavour and food-based plant compounds within a balanced diet.
The supplement provides a more consistent and concentrated format, but it does not replace the wider nutritional value of vegetables and varied whole foods.
How should I store it?
Follow the storage directions on the current packaging. Keep the bottle tightly closed, away from excessive heat and moisture, and out of reach of children.
