Health Benefits

There is one (unpublished) study on  Black Garlic, which supports its heart health benefits. The in-vitro study, which used plasma from healthy humans) demonstrated that the ingredient can“inhibit thrombocyte aggregation caused by various organic triggers”. This contributes to cardiovascular health because aggregating platelets have a negative effect on blood circulation as they increase the risk of capillary blockage and blood clots, and can therefore lead to thrombosis.

In addition Black Garlic has been shown to have a higher antioxidant potency than fresh garlic, which in part explains its cardiovascular benefits. Cited an article from Nutrition Research and Practice (2009),which demonstrated that the TEAC (Trolox-equivalence antioxidant assay) value for aged black garlic was 59 micromol/g compared to 13 micromol/g for fresh garlic (based on wet weight).
