Hello,

Yes, it is quite normal. If the smell is too strong then you should take twice or thrice a week instead or taking it in a regular basis. Garlic has sulphur containing chemicals, the smell is bad/rotten as it breaks down.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
