Garlic. Blood preasure
The shit is good for you. Science teaches us a lot. Much better than our imagination. Thank "god" for research. Note: raw is best.
Notes for this study: In hypertensive persons given 280-960mg of garlic (conferring 0.6-2.4mg S-allylcysteine) daily for 12 weeks, it was noted that the middle dose of 480mg garlic (1.2mg S-allylcysteine) was able to significantly reduce blood pressure by approximately 12 points systolic with no influence on diastolic. Higher doses were just out of statistical significance and the lower dose appeared ineffective. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23169470
Notes for this study: 8 weeks supplementation with garlic pearls (250mg containing 2.5% garlic oil) in persons with essential hypertension or normal controls (no placebo group) noted a reduction in blood pressure in hypertensives only. The hypertensives were also hypercholesterolemic, but all changes in cholesterol and triglycerides were nonsignificant. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/16335787
Notes for this study: In persons with high cholesterol, 900mg garlic for 12 weeks lowered cholesterol (11.5%), LDL-C (14.2%) with a trend to reduce HDL-C; despite the subjects being normotensive, there was a small reduction in blood pressure seen with garlic (2.4-4.2%). https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/9022529
Notes for this study: 7.2g of aged garlic daily for six months in hypercholesterolemic men noted a 7% reduction in total cholesterol and 4.6% reduction in LDL-C alongside a 5.5% reduction in blood pressure. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/8942410
Notes for this study: In persons who are being treated for hypertension but it is still deemed as uncontrolled, aged garlic supplementation (960mg conferring 2.4mg SAC) daily for 12 weeks, the decrease in blood pressure reached 10.2+/-4.3mmHg systolic with garlic relative to placebo when assessing the persons with a blood pressure initially above 140mmHg systolic; those with a BP below 140mmHg at baseline did not see benefit. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/20594781
Notes for this study: In persons with stage I essential hypertension given 300-1,500mg of aged garlic extract in two divided doses over the course of 24 weeks, it was found that supplementation of doses above 900mg was able to reduce blood pressure relative to placebo and performed equally to atenolol (50mg twice daily) at both the 12 week and 24 week time points. 600mg performed equally only at 24 weeks and while 300mg was effective at 24 weeks only it was less effective than atenolol. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/24035939
Notes for this study: Supplementation of 600mg garlic (Allicor) in two divided doses of 300mg daily for 12 weeks in persons with high cholesterol is able to beneficially influence cholesterol and blood pressure without affecting markers of toxicology (immune and red blood cells, liver enzymes) and without any apparent effect on triglycerides. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/19060427
