Slow-release garlic may counter atherosclerosis. (Placebo-Controlled Trial).
BETHESDA, MD. -- A sustained-release garlic preparation led to decreased intima-media thickness of the common carotid arteries in a 24-month study of 103 men with atherosclerosis, Dr. Igor Sobenin reported at a meeting on the cardiovascular effects of botanicals sponsored by the National Institutes of Health.
In the double-blind, multicenter study, 103 similar men received placebo tablets. All subjects were 40-74 years old. They were randomly assigned to twice-daily use of a placebo tablet or an Allicor tablet (INAT-Farma Ltd., Moscow). Each Allicor tablet contains 150 mg of garlic powder and a polymeric matrix that allows the slow release and intestinal absorption of biologically active components.
Ultrasound monitoring revealed significant decreases in intima-media thickness at 12, 18, and 24 months in patients who received Allicor. At 24 months, the average decrease was 44 [micro]m with Allicor and 29 [micro]m with placebo. The thickness decreased in 81% of Allicor patients and in 21% of ...
