Blood pressure lowering drugs often cause a range of unpleasant side effects, which helps to explain the growing interest in potentially effective natural remedies, such as garlic.
Allicin, the main active compound in garlic, is thought to be largely responsible for garlic’s blood-pressure-lowering properties.
Research studies shows that allicin helps to prevent the production of angiotensin II, a compound responsible for increasing blood pressure by causing your blood vessels to tighten up or contract. By preventing the production of angiotensin II, allicin’s effects make it easier for your blood to flow freely, in turn, reducing your blood pressure.
Allicin also appears to increase the production or availability of hydrogen sulfide and nitric oxide, two compounds crucial for regulating blood pressure levels. Moreover, experts believe that garlic’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties may further contribute to garlic’s ability to reduce or prevent rises in blood pressure level.
