Great! by RetroGurl (CA) 5 Stars
April 14, 2009
Not really sure what the other reviewer was rambling on about, but garlic supplements have helped me! I have low blood pressure naturally and worked out, all the time. After an unfortunate auto accident I had to cease my workout and therefore gained around 15 lbs. Resulting in my cholesterol level to go from low/normal to borderline high! I was shocked and decided on top of getting back in shape and eating right, I was getting back on my vitamin regime, which includes garlic. My cholesterol was lower the next time it was checked. Not sure if it was the exercise, etc. but I believe it was a combo of it all. I believe garlic is good for you either way, and can't hurt! It's odorless and easy to swallow too.

Garlic does not lower cholesterol levels by Supplement Monitor (Washington DC)  1 Stars
September 07, 2007
Even the pro-supplement encyclopedia Healthnotes that merchants use to encourage their customers to buy supplements concedes that: "While earlier trials suggest it may mildly lower cholesterol levels in the blood, more recent trials found garlic to have minimal success in lowering cholesterol." Healthnotes concludes that the evidence is too "contradictory, insufficient, or preliminary" to show that garlic lowers cholesterol levels. (You can consult Healthnotes for free at gnc.com.)
And the German Commission E monographs that the herbal industry considers its Bible gave up years ago on the notion that garlic lowers cholesterol and no longer permits the claim.
Here's a recent example of why. A Stanford University study published in 2007 gave raw garlic, powdered garlic supplement, aged garlic extract supplement, or a placebo to 192 men and women with moderately high cholesterol levels. The garlic, equivalent to an average-sized garlic clove, was consumed six days a week for six months. Results? Absolutely no effect of any of the garlic on LDL ("bad") cholesterol, HDL ("good") cholesterol, or triglycerides. (The study, conducted by Christopher Gardner and his colleagues, was published in the Feb 26, 2007, issue of Archives of Internal Medicine [167:346-53).]
Companies that still claim that their garlic lowers cholesterol are either relying on older, sloppier studies or they're cherry-picking an occasional trial that finds a modest effect while ignoring the majority of good studies that have found garlic ineffective for lowering cholesterol.
Some companies have gotten the message and have switched to the claim that garlic promotes "cardiovascular health," a vaguer claim that isn't as well studied.
