Garlic For Plaque Reversal
Garlic, especially in its aged form, has been celebrated for its numerous health benefits. Recently, a study explored its impact on cardiovascular health by looking specifically at the reduction of plaque in arteries.
A clinical study conducted with 55 patients assessed the effects of aged garlic extract on the soft plaque progression.
- Participants taking aged garlic extract observed a 1.5% reduction in soft plaque.
- Those in the placebo group had a 0.2% increase in soft plaque.
“Just a 1% reduction in plaque accounts for a 25% reduction in cardiovascular risk.”
While a 1.5% reduction may seem minor, its significance cannot be overstated. A reduction this size translates to a dramatic 25% decrease in cardiovascular risk. This underlines the substantial benefits aged garlic extract carries for heart health.
