Today’s topic: Allicin: Enhancing Important Aspects of Cardiovascular Well-being
The secondary phytonutrients diallyl disulfide and diallyl trisulfide, are converted from some allicin by humans. These phytonutrients were found to impact the sequence of cholesterol synthesis in the human liver. The effect these garlic compounds have in modulating healthy cholesterol metabolism and supporting antioxidant effects blood lipids, thereby protecting their integrity and function. This process adds up to very strong support for long-lasting healthy cardiovascular function. When garlic and is phytonutrient constituents impact areas as diverse as cholesterol metabolism, arterial health and blood sugar metabolism, they become an important part of an inclusive plan designed to support cardiovascular wellness.
Support Blood Pressure Levels that are Normal
It was found that garlic and a number of other garlic extracts could have explicit benefits for humans in the cardiovascular area. The authors of this meta-analysis published in 2008 reviewed literature dealing with the blood-pressure regulating properties of garlic in humans. They found that the intake of garlic in foods and supplements contributes to the maintenance of blood pressure levels that are considered healthy in humans. It was also found that allicin is the blood-pressure regulating factor that is found in garlic, and that garlic’s hydrogen sulfide production is also a contributory factor. In an independent review, a second group of researchers reviewed studies associating the intake of garlic supplements with the effects on blood pressure. The researchers also concluded that garlic supplements were able to support blood pressure level maintenance, for levels that are already in a normal range.
Another reason to contemplate adding garlic to your daily nutritional regimen is that garlic intake has been found to support healthy blood pressure.
