Reported Benefits
Health Effects of Garlic
American Academy of Family Physicians
Studies in humans show modest lipid-lowering effects and antiplatelet activity with garlic, but blood pressure reduction is not consistently observed.
Exploring the health benefits of raw white garlic consumption in humans: a mini review.
Hacisu C, et al.
Clinical trials in healthy subjects showed raw garlic improved lipid profiles, blood pressure, fibrinolytic activity, antioxidant status, and glucose metabolism; 4.2-5g/day did not impair platelet function and upregulated immunity genes.
Potential Health Benefit of Garlic Based on Human Intervention Studies: A Brief Overview
Khatua S, et al.
Garlic extract at 400mg/day for 3 months enhanced antioxidant status and modulated endothelial biomarkers like CRP, LDL, HDL, and triglycerides in obese adults; raw garlic improved antioxidant enzymes in healthy erythrocytes.
Effect of raw garlic vs commercial garlic supplements on plasma lipid concentrations in adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia: a randomized clinical trial.
Gardner CD, Lawson LD, Block E, et al.
In 192 adults with moderate hypercholesterolemia, raw garlic and commercial supplements showed no significant reduction in LDL cholesterol compared to placebo over 6 months.
Garlic lowers blood pressure in hypertensive subjects, improves arterial stiffness and gut microbiota: A review and meta-analysis.
Ried K.
Meta-analysis of trials showed garlic reduced systolic blood pressure by 8-10 mmHg and diastolic by 5-6 mmHg in adults with hypertension, associated with improved arterial stiffness and gut microbiota diversity.
Garlic supplementation improves systolic and diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive subjects: A meta-analysis of randomized clinical trials
Ried K, Fakler P.
Garlic supplements reduced blood pressure similarly to standard medications in hypertensive adults, with associated cardiovascular risk reduction.
