Certain individuals may need to limit their intake. People with acid reflux, gastritis, or sensitive digestive systems may experience heartburn, abdominal discomfort, or bloating after eating garlic. Ghee is also rich in saturated fat, so excessive consumption may contribute to an unhealthy overall fat intake.
People taking anticoagulant or antiplatelet medications, such as warfarin, should consult a healthcare professional before using concentrated garlic supplements because of the potential increased risk of bleeding. Ordinary culinary amounts of garlic generally pose less concern, but individual circumstances matter.
Those who have a known garlic allergy should avoid it entirely. Anyone scheduled for surgery should inform their medical team about garlic supplements or high-dose preparations they use.
