Garlic vs. High Blood Pressure

Garlic has been used for thousands of years to promote wound healing and improve heart health. Most of its positive effects are due to its high content of antioxidants, particularly allicin. I KNOW garlic works! This particular supplement, Kyolic Formula 109 works miracles! I have seen it in action! It's Awesome!

~Scientists at Memorial Hospital of Rhode Island investigated the impact of aged garlic extract on blood lipids in men with high cholesterol. Researchers reported in the December 1996 issue of the “American Journal of Clinical Nutrition,” that those taking 7.2 g of aged garlic extract for six months experienced decreases in blood pressure compared with those who had a placebo.~

Aged garlic extract may lower blood pressure in those with high blood pressure, according to a study conducted by researchers at the University of Adelaide in South Australia. Scientists examined the effects of aged garlic extract on patients with treated, but uncontrolled, hypertension. Subjects were assigned to receive 960 mg of aged garlic extract or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. At the end of the treatment, participants getting the aged garlic extract lowered their blood pressure compared with those who consumed a placebo, according to research published in the October 2010 issue of “Maturitas.”

 Garlic has achieved a legendary reputation as an antihypertensive medication. It's been used in China for centuries for that purpose, and the Japanese government officially recognizes garlic as a blood-pressure depressor. American scientists first tried garlic against high blood pressure in 1921. Garlic consistently lowers blood pressure in laboratory animals.
