Botanic Choice Odorless Garlic Oil Softgels - Antioxidant Cholesterol and Immune Support Supplement for Adults - Gluten Free Non-GMO - 180 Pills

Good product

An easy and convenient way to add garlic oil to your diet.The bottle contains 180 softgels of 500 mg each which is equivalent to about 1/6th of a clove of garlic weighing 3 grams. No taste or aftertaste and no odor.Easy to swallow the softgels are small, pea-sized.The white plastic bottle is coded for recycling as type 2 resin. It was sealed with a foam disk.The twist off lid is easy to open and close as it is not child resistant. It was sealed with shrink wrapping for freshness and safety.Reasonably well priced when offered at about $13.50 at the time of our review. For a suggested dose of 1 softgel, that's a cost of about eight cents per softgel with a recommended intake of three softgels per day.

This isn’t the only garlic supplement we’ve tried, but my husband and I do appreciate brands that are odorless and manufactured in a registered cGMP facility. Even more important to us, these supplements come from a reliable company (Indiana Botanic Gardens) that’s been in the supplement business since 1910. I even own one of their early books (1934 edition), written by the company’s founder, Joseph E. Meyer. It’s a treasure trove that describes the early history of botanic drugs, also known as nature’s remedies. Garlic belongs in that category—it’s an excellent way to supplement cardiovascular, circulatory and immune support. This formula provides adequate levels, and comes in an economical 180 softgel size.

Odorless Garlic Oil Softgels: $13.50 for a 180 count bottle at the time of reviewIt seems like the older I get, the harder it is to stay healthy. Of course there's always the option of medication. But where I can avoid them, I prefer to. Sometimes though, it's nice to find something that works in concert with medications. In the case of garlic oil, it's a nice, natural supplement to take that helps with a variety of things (not the least of which is inflammation). I chose the supplement from Botanic Choice because of the size of the pills (I was hoping they'd be easier to swallow, and I was right).*TL;DR Review Haiku™*These pills are fairlyEasy to swallow, but theirPrice isn’t so much*What I liked*:This is a small bottle, but because the pill sizes small, it holds a lot. I like that there are 180 gels in here. Just doing a little basic math, that's six months worth of supplements.I also like that the garlic used to make these pills is non-GMO.To their credit, the pills are small and easy to take. There's also no garlicky aftertaste at all.*What I didn't like*:I have two major complaints though. The first one is regarding the dosage. I only 500 MG, there are plenty of other garlic pills on the market with higher dosage in them for the same or less price per pill. Of course, a higher dosage means a bigger pill so it's a trade off.The second issue I have is the cost. A 180 count bottle of these pills is $13.50 at the time of review. I found several competitors with higher dosages and considerably lower price (in fact, there was one option for less than a third of the cost per pill).As a sidenote, these are nearly identical to my vitamin D pills (they are just a little bit bigger). If you have similar supplements that you are taking, be careful not to mix them up.*The Bottom Line:*The jury is out on the efficacy of these pills. I haven't been taking them long enough to notice a real difference. I will report back if something seems out of the ordinary though. So judging me is based on the characteristics that I've already discussed, I'd probably give them 3.5 stars the high cost per pill and relatively low dosage are unfortunate downsides. But I can't give half stars on Amazon, and I just don't think they're quite worth four stars. So I ended up with three stars out of five. I wouldn't re-order these, as I would opt for a higher dosage lower price option.

I was excited to finally try garlic supplements but didn’t find any of the supposed effects to be true for me.

Garlic has many benefits, including immune boosting and heart health improvement. I love garlic on foods, and I add garlic powder to most foods. However, on days when I don't do this, it's nice to have a reliable garlic supplement.This is equivalent to 500 mg of raw garlic, which isn't a lot necessarily, but if you take a few, you could see some benefits. The garlic is odorless, so it won't cause any social issues.This brand claims extensive testing and quality control, which is encouraging.

I take garlic daily for heart health and my cholesterol and I like these because they're small round softgels with no smell or flavor. I've experienced no garlicky burps or anything. Will definitely order again.

These Botanic Choice odorless garlic softgels seem like they are good quality. However there is no expiration date on the bottle, just a manufactured date of May 2021.
