Australian scientists have lead the review of researches, devoted to action of garlic extract, and have found out, that the bioadditives containing garlic, reduce arterial pressure as effectively, as usual medicines. «The garlic extract may become comprehensible alternative or additional means in treatment of an arterial hypertension», — speaks Karin Ried (University of Adelaide, Australia).

Karin Ried and its colleagues have included 11 researches in their review in which patients accepted the garlic extract or placebo. Dozes of an extract varied from 600 up to 900 mg a day. Course of treatment lasts from 12 till 23 weeks.

On the average at the participants of research accepted the garlic extract, arterial pressure has decreased on 4,6 mm. Thus, the above there was a pressure at the beginning of research, the more strongly it decreased after course of treatment.

Authors of the review mark that action of the garlic extract little differs from action of traditional medicines, for example, beta blockers which reduce pressure on 5 mm.

It is counted up, that if it was possible to lower pressure upon 4-5 items in our population, death rate from cardiovascular diseases would be reduced almost to 20%.
