Garlic Extract

Allicin for blood pressure & cardiovascular support

The clinically studied dose

600mg per day Studied

Source: Garlic & Blood Pressure Meta-analysis (Ried 2020) — Standardized garlic extracts (~600–1,200 mg/day) lowered blood pressure; tracks the standardized extract.

Cardiovascular trials use standardized extracts (aged garlic / allicin); tiny 'garlic 24 mg' label amounts are effectively fairy dust.

What it is

A concentrated garlic extract standardized for allicin, studied mainly for heart health.

What the research supports

How it works

Allicin and related sulfur compounds relax blood vessels and affect cholesterol synthesis.

Side effects & safety

Safe; can cause garlic breath, body odor and mild GI upset. Mild blood-thinning effect — mention to your doctor before surgery. The trace amounts in T-boosters do nothing.
