Garlic, Allicor, and high cholesterol:
Evidence suggests that a long acting garlic agent may lower high cholesterol. Following 12 weeks of garlic supplementation in a double-blind randomized, placebo-controlled trial, (with 9.6 mg allicin-releasing potential) individuals (n=22) showed a significant reduction in total cholesterol (by -4.2%) and LDL cholesterol (by -6.6%). Corresponding results in the placebo group (n=24) were an increase of 2.0% and 3.7%, respectively. However, HDL cholesterol was significantly improved in the placebo group (by 9.1%) compared to the garlic group (-0.9%). (95)
After 1 year of Allicor treatment, the 10-year absolute risk of IHD was reduced by10.7%, and the 10 year risk of both acute myocardial infarction, and sudden death were reduced 22.7%. A reduction in total cholesterol and LDL cholesterol for men ( by 27.9 and 22.5 mg/dl, respectively) and women (by 11.4 and 10.8 mg/dl, respectively) was reported. Allicor used by women was also reported to prevent age-related cardiovascular risk. (98)
