Published in Phytotherapy Research
Methodology
GRADE-assessed dose-response systematic review and meta-analysis of randomized trials of aged garlic extract on blood pressure and lipids.
Key Findings
Aged garlic significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol, with low-to-moderate certainty evidence and dose-dependent blood pressure effects.
Conclusions
Aged garlic extract lowers blood pressure modestly; lipid effects are smaller and less certain.
Limitations
Low-to-moderate GRADE certainty; heterogeneity in extract standardisation.
Supplements Studied
Aged garlic supplementation significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure and total cholesterol with low-to-moderate certainty evidence.
Outcomes Measured
Aged garlic supplementation significantly reduced systolic and diastolic blood pressure with dose-dependent effects.
