❤️ Cardio, Cholesterol & Blood Vessels
- May help support healthier cholesterol levels (especially LDL/total cholesterol) in some studies.
- May support healthier blood vessel function (how well vessels relax and respond).
- May support certain heart-related risk markers depending on the black garlic type and dose used.
🛡️ Antioxidant Protection
- Black garlic is studied for higher antioxidant activity compared to raw garlic (due to the aging process).
- May help reduce oxidative stress markers in study settings (results vary by study).
🔥 Inflammation Support
- Studied for supporting the body’s inflammation balance (many findings are preclinical).
- Often discussed together with antioxidant effects.
🧬 Cancer Research (Early-stage: cell / animal)
- In lab studies, black garlic extracts are researched for slowing growth of certain cancer cells.
- These are early-stage findings (cell/animal). They are not proof of human treatment.

🫀 Heart Function in Existing Heart Disease (Interpret carefully)
- In a clinical context, black garlic intake was reported alongside conventional care with improvements in some functional measures.
- This should be treated as supportive dietary research, not a replacement for care.
