How it works
Allicin and sulphur compounds in garlic inhibit hepatic cholesterol synthesis (HMG-CoA reductase pathway) and may mildly increase HDL.
Fresh garlic has minimal evidence; standardised extract supplements are required. GI side effects and odour are common. May interact with anticoagulants. Effect size is modest (~5–10% LDL reduction).

“Some improvement but not as dramatic as I hoped. Might need longer to see full benefit. Still continuing.”
