High cholesterol small reductions in total blood cholesterol and low-density
lipoproteins ("bad cholesterol") over short periods of time (4 to 12 weeks). Effects on high-density lipoproteins ("good cholesterol") are not clear. Well-designed and longer studies are needed in this area.
B
Anti-fungal (applied to the skin) Several studies describe the application of garlic to the skin to treat
fungal infections, including yeast infections.C
Anti-platelet effects (blood thinning) The effects of garlic on platelet aggregation have been assessed in
several human trials. Because garlic has been associated with several cases of bleeding, therapy should be applied with caution.
C
Atherosclerosis ("hardening" of the arteries) Preliminary research in humans suggests that deposits of
cholesterol in blood vessels may not grow as quickly in people who take garlic.
