Does garlic really help lower blood pressure?

Research, including meta-analyses of multiple clinical trials, suggests garlic supplementation may modestly reduce blood pressure in people with hypertension. However, it should be used alongside, not instead of, prescribed blood pressure medication.

How much garlic should I eat for heart health benefits?

Most clinical studies showing benefits have used standardized garlic extract supplements, often in the range of 600-1200 mg daily, though whole garlic as part of regular cooking is also traditionally valued. It is best to consult your doctor for personalized guidance.

Can I take garlic supplements with my heart medication?
