Garlic: its cardio-protective properties.

Evidence that garlic inhibits platelet aggregation, increases fibrinolysis, reduces blood pressure, enhances anti-oxidant activity, and reduces serum lipids suggests that it may have cardio-protective properties. The lack of qualitative standardization of garlic preparations and the methodological w...

description Evidence that garlic inhibits platelet aggregation, increases fibrinolysis, reduces blood pressure, enhances anti-oxidant activity, and reduces serum lipids suggests that it may have cardio-protective properties. The lack of qualitative standardization of garlic preparations and the methodological weaknesses of earlier studies makes comparison between different studies complicated. Quantitative pooling of data in meta-analyses of the primary trials strongly suggests that garlic is an effective lipid-lowering agent.
