Is garlic effective for high cholesterol? How fresh, powdered and supplement forms compare
Garlic's potential to lower cholesterol has been studied for years, with allicin, a sulfur compound, often credited. While some research suggests daily use can reduce LDL and total cholesterol, the effects are modest and temporary. Supplements, particularly non-enteric-coated tablets, appear to deliver more consistent allicin levels compared to most food forms.
