Garlic and blood pressure
A review
of several research studies looking at garlic supplements (600-900mg of dried
garlic supplement) and blood pressure found a clinically relevant reduction
(about 7mm for systolic and 5mm for diastolic). However, there was little
reduction in those people with blood pressure that was already raised before
taking the supplement. The active ingredient producing the benefit is also the
chemical responsible for the smell raising the possibility that odour free
versions may not have any benefit.
