Aged Black Garlic Supplement May Help Lower BP
A new study has found that aged black garlic (ABG) on top of dietary guidance lowers diastolic blood pressure (DBP) in men with moderately elevated cholesterol.
After 6 weeks, consumption of ABG with a high concentration of s-allyl-L-cystine (SAC) was associated with a nearly 6-mm Hg reduction in DBP in men. Other cardiovascular disease (CVD) risk factors were not significantly affected.
“The observed reduction in DBP by ABG extract was similar to the effects of dietary approaches, including the effects of the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) diet on BP,” say Rosa M. Valls, PhD, Universitat Rovira i Virgili, Reus, Spain, and colleagues.
“The potential beneficial effects of ABG may contribute to obtaining an optimal DBP” but were “better observed in men and in nonoptimal DBP populations,” they write in the study, published in Nutrients.
Van Horn, a member of the American Heart Association’s Nutrition Committee, who was not involved with the study, continued: “The data suggest that ABG that is much more highly concentrated than fresh or processed garlic might be helpful in lowering BP in certain subgroups, in this case men with higher BP.”
However, she cautioned, “these results are limited in a small study, and…potential other issues, such as sodium, potassium, or other nutrients known to be associated with blood pressure, were not reported, thereby raising questions about the exclusivity of the ABG over other accompanying dietary factors.”
