May reduce the risk of heart disease

According to studies, black garlic may reduce triglyceride, total cholesterol, and LDL (bad) cholesterol levels in the blood, which are all signs of heart disease. The amount of HDL (good) cholesterol may also rise. In one animal experiment, rats suffering from cardiac damage brought on by ischemia, or a lack of blood flow to the heart, were treated with raw and black garlic to compare the results. Researchers discovered that raw and black garlic both improved circulation to safeguard the heart. In rats fed a high-fat diet, black garlic extract was found to help lower total blood fats, triglycerides, and total cholesterol. These are often elevated levels that are associated with an elevated risk of heart disease.

Black garlic decreased high cholesterol and triglyceride levels in distinct animal research, lowering the risk of heart disease. In a different trial, for a period of 12 weeks, either 6 grams of aged black garlic extract or a placebo were given to 60 participants with increased cholesterol. Black garlic lowered possible heart disease indicators and raised HDL (good) cholesterol. Participants in research who had coronary heart disease received 20 grams of black garlic extract every day for six months. Compared to those who took a placebo, those who drank it had higher antioxidant levels and better heart health markers.
