Identification of the Antiplatelet Compounds of Garlic Ex Vivo
In Brief
A clinical study evaluating garlic powder added to ambient water and garlic powder added to boiling water for Arteriosclerosis and Intracranial Arteriosclerosis. Completed, enrolled 9 participants across 1 site.
Detailed Summary
This study will seek to identify the compound(s) in garlic that is (are) responsible for its ability to prevent the formation of blood clots (prevent platelet aggregation) and to determine the maximally effective dose and duration of the benefits. This study will also determine whether "cooked" garlic (garlic powder added to boiling water, no allicin present) is as effective as "fresh" garlic (garlic powder added to ambient water, high allicin present) and, if more than one compound is involved, and whether their combined effects are more significant than the effects of each compound alone.
