Allium sativum
Garlic is one of the oldest cultivated plants, used for both culinary and medicinal purposes for over 5,000 years. It has been extensively studied for its cardiovascular benefits, antimicrobial properties, and immune-boosting effects. Louis Pasteur first documented its antibacterial properties in 1858.
Garlic (Allium sativum) is one of the most researched botanicals for cardiovascular health. Aged garlic extract (AGE) and standardized powders demonstrate consistent effects on cholesterol and blood pressure. Allicin and S-allyl cysteine (SAC) are the primary bioactive compounds. Meta-analyses show modest but significant reductions in total cholesterol (15-25 mg/dL), LDL (10-20 mg/dL), and blood pressure (8-10 mmHg systolic). It also demonstrates antiplatelet and antimicrobial properties.
Allicin, formed when alliin contacts alliinase (enzyme), is the primary active compound but is unstable. Aged garlic extract contains S-allyl cysteine (SAC) and S-allyl mercaptocysteine, which are more bioavailable. Garlic inhibits HMG-CoA reductase (statin-like effect), reduces cholesterol synthesis, and enhances bile acid excretion. It activates nitric oxide synthase, improving endothelial function and vasodilation. Antiplatelet effects inhibit thromboxane A2 synthesis. Antimicrobial activity involves thiol modification in pathogens.
