Garlic oil is generally not considered bad for cholesterol. In fact, many studies suggest that garlic and its preparations may have a positive effect on cholesterol levels. Garlic oil may help support healthy levels of LDL (bad) cholesterol while potentially increasing HDL (good) cholesterol. However, individual responses can vary, and garlic oil should not replace prescribed cholesterol-lowering medications without professional guidance.
