What it’s for
- Studied for blood-pressure effects
A garlic-derived supplement whose active compounds depend on its preparation.
Purpose, evidence and practical considerations.
Some garlic preparations produce modest blood-pressure reductions in trials. Different extracts are not equivalent, and supplements do not replace indicated hypertension treatment.
Confidence: weak
Garlic supplements can cause gastrointestinal symptoms and may increase bleeding tendency, especially around surgery or with anticoagulant or antiplatelet medicines.
Crushing garlic enables alliinase to form allicin, but allicin is unstable and finished products vary greatly in actual yield. Human findings cannot be transferred across unlike preparations without checking the formulation.
