The evidence in words
How much to take
Aged garlic extract or standardized allicin products dosed to deliver several mg of allicin potential daily; benefits accrue over weeks.
Timing & separation
There are no strict timing conflicts on record for Garlic; consistency matters more than the exact hour for most goals.
Why the dose is what it is
Garlic's organosulfur compounds promote vasodilation (partly via hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide) and modestly influence lipids and platelet function.
Bottom line
A rare kitchen supplement with real cardiovascular data: modest blood-pressure and lipid benefits. Mind the bleeding interaction if you're on blood thinners.
How it is used
As the entry records it, from the studies it summarises. Not a recommendation for you — doses that suit a trial population may not suit you.
