Educational only — not medical advice. BodEvo summarizes research cautiously and labels estimates as estimates. Talk to a physician or registered dietitian before starting any supplement, diet, or training program.
What the evidence says
Moderate evidence for small reductions in blood pressure and cholesterol in some trials; effect sizes are modest and preparation-dependent.
Typical dose & timing
Dose: Varies by preparation; follow label. Standardized extracts are used in most studies.
Timing: With food to reduce GI upset.
Role in a stack
Optional cardiovascular-support add-on; food garlic also counts.
Redundancy check: Overlaps with other cardiovascular supplements (omega-3, fiber); prioritize diet first.
Cautions & safety
Can cause breath/body odor, heartburn, or GI upset. Has blood-thinning effects — caution with anticoagulants and before surgery.
Generally safe as food/supplement; mind the anticoagulant interaction. Educational only — not medical advice.
