Answer
I would check with your pharmacist on the grapeseed as there are many medications you may not be able to take with this.

Odorless garlic does not do anything for the immune system only the circulatory system.  I only use high quality brands so I don't know anything about this brand.  Garlic is garlic. You can eat a whole garlic clove unless you are on blood thinners. I think odorless garlic is useless except if you are using it for circualtor issues.  Does not help or aid the immune system.
Milk thistle does support he liver.  I suggest a time release but you must get the colon moving first and sweetend the gut.
These are all plants which don't taste good so they are put in a tablet, liquid or capsule. If you are on and medications that prevent you from taking any of these then do not use them.  

I don't know what brands these are but I am very pick about the quality of herbals I take.

These are foods, if you look at them this way it will help you to understand these are not drugs.
