Recommended Daily Intake

No established RDA for garlic or parsley extract. Clinical trials commonly use 600-1200 mg/day of garlic extract for cardiovascular benefits.

Upper Tolerable Limit

No established official upper tolerable limit. Doses above 1200 mg/day of garlic extract may increase risk of gastrointestinal side effects and bleeding.

Absorption Enhancers

Taking with food improves tolerability and absorption; fat-containing meals may enhance uptake of fat-soluble garlic compounds; taking with a low-protein meal may improve absorption from the enteric-coated tablet.

Absorption Inhibitors

A high-protein meal may slow gastric emptying and reduce the bioavailability of allicin from enteric-coated tablets.

Side Effects

Possible Side Effects

Garlic breath and body odor, gastrointestinal discomfort (nausea, bloating, heartburn), increased bleeding time at high doses; parsley in high doses may cause photosensitivity.

Toxicity Risk

Low

Upper Tolerable Limit

No established official upper tolerable limit. Doses above 1200 mg/day of garlic extract may increase risk of gastrointestinal side effects and bleeding.

Safety & Warnings

Children Suitability

Not recommended for children under 12. Consult a healthcare provider before use in adolescents.

Interactions

Medication Interactions

May increase the effect of anticoagulant/antiplatelet drugs (e.g., warfarin, aspirin, clopidogrel), potentially increasing bleeding risk. May lower blood levels and effectiveness of HIV protease inhibitors (e.g., saquinavir). May enhance the effect of antihypertensive medications.

Supplement Interactions

Additive bleeding risk when combined with fish oil, high-dose vitamin E, or ginkgo biloba. Avoid concurrent use with other blood-thinning supplements.

Special Populations

Target Population

Adults seeking cardiovascular support, individuals with mild hypertension or mildly elevated cholesterol, and adults looking for natural antioxidant supplementation.
