    Can I cut up a clove of garlic and swallow it to receive the health benefits?
    Community Answer

    Just chew it up and swallow as fast as you can, as the active ingredient has a very short half life. Cutting it up only takes longer and loses some benefits.

    It shouldn't hurt you to eat garlic on an empty stomach, but you'll wind up with an extra bad case of garlic breath.

    Can I cut the garlic in halves and swallow them whole?
    Community Answer
    Community Answer
    Swallowing whole garlic clove doesn't benefit the body because it is actually the smell activation compound that is the healthy part. I can take large vitamin tablets and would have no problem swallowing whole cloves but don't bother because apparently the health benefit is not there, the stomach acid just breaks it down.
