Aged Garlic Extract

Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that AGE supplements may be beneficial for improving blood pressure in hypertensive patients, but significant effects are observed only at doses over 1200 mg/day. To confirm these results, well-designed future trials will be needed.

Conclusion: This meta-analysis showed that supplementation with garlic could reduce the level of circulating CRP and AGE could reduce the level of TNF-α and CRP, whereas it had no significant effect on the IL-6 level.

Conclusion: Eleven animal studies (level V) demonstrated a significant anticarcinogenic effect of garlic and/or its active constituents. On balance, there is consistent scientific evidence derived from RCT of animal studies reporting protective effects of garlic on CRC despite great heterogeneity of measures of intakes among human epidemiological studies.

Conclusion: Currently, there are insufficient or conflicting data for interventions evaluated in clinical trials for mitigation of cardiovascular calcification. Therapy involving aged garlic extract appears most promising, but evaluable studies were small and of short duration.
