  • Title: [Garlic as phytogenic antilipemic agent. Recent studies with a standardized dry garlic powder substance].
    Author: Brosche T, Platt D.
    Journal: Fortschr Med; 1990 Dec 20; 108(36):703-6. PubMed ID: 2086429.
    Abstract:
    Garlic (Allium sativum L.) is a commonplace drug. It is now available in the form of dragees made of garlic powder, standardized to 1.3% alliin. The lipid-lowering potential of such preparations has not been reviewed yet. In 7 out of 8 studies, including over 500 patients, a daily dose of 0.6 g to 0.9 g garlic powder reduced plasma cholesterol and triglyceride levels by 5 to 20 percent. The metabolic mechanisms of these reductions are not known.
