It's really important to take your medicine as directed. If you miss doses, it will not work as well.
Possible side effects include dizziness, headaches, tiredness, and cold hands and feet. High blood pressure in older people AGE, aged garlic extract; GP, garlic powder; GP jpn, Japanese garlic powder containing egg yolk; G2, main garlic group, P, placebo group; HT, hypertensive subgroup; RG, raw garlic; mg; milligram; mg/dl, milligram per decilitre; mmHg, millimetre of mercury; NA, not applicable; NR, not reported; NZ, New Zealand; pt, potential; SAC, S-allylcysteine; SBP/DBP, systolic/diastolic blood pressure. You may need to take blood pressure medicine for the rest of your life. But your doctor might be able to reduce or stop your treatment if your blood pressure stays under control for several years. Coinciding with Valentine’s Day, February marks National Heart Month. The aim is to raise awareness of heart and cardiovascular disease (CVD) and educate people in the steps that they can take to improve their hearts health – ultimately reducing the risk of heart disease. Furthermore, previous research suggests that garlic is effective in normalising blood cholesterol levels. A meta-analysis of 39 trials and 2,300 participants demonstrated an improvement in total cholesterol and low-density-lipoprotein (LDL) in adults with slightly elevated levels at baseline ( 44).
Simple lifestyle changes can help reduce high blood pressure, although some people may need to take medicine as well. ARBs work in a similar way to ACE inhibitors. They're often recommended if ACE inhibitors cause troublesome side effects. Kwai Heartcare – helps maintain a healthy heart, supports healthy cholesterol levels, and contains vitamin B1 which contributes to normal heart function.
Possible side effects include dizziness when standing up, increased thirst, needing to go to the toilet frequently, and a rash. Importantly, Kyolic aged garlic extract does NOT increase the risk of bleeding, in contrast to other garlic products. A randomised double-blind placebo-controlled trial by Macan et al (2006) ( 46) administered warfarin (an anti-coagulant medication) to 52 patients at a dose of 10 g of liquid Kyolic aged garlic extract daily for 12 weeks, and assessed their increased risk of bleeding by the standard International Normalised Ratio (INR) test, finding no increased risk of bleeding in both the Kyolic garlic and the placebo group. Importantly, this trial demonstrated that Kyolic aged garlic extract differed from other garlic products, e.g., dietary garlic, and in particular raw garlic, and any warnings with regard to the increased risk of haemorrhaging are not warranted for Kyolic aged garlic extract. To the contrary, Kyolic aged garlic extract can be safely consumed before any planned surgery, and may even reduce the risk of thrombosis. While there are definite benefits from taking medicines to reduce blood pressure if you're under the age of 80, it's less clear it's useful if you're over 80.In our third ‘AGE at Heart’ trial we found Kyolic to be effective in reducing peripheral blood pressure, as well as central blood pressure, central pulse pressure, pulse wave velocity and arterial stiffness ( 7). Central hemodynamic measures, such as central blood pressure, pulse wave velocity, pulse pressure and arterial stiffness, are regarded as more important predictors than peripheral blood pressure for cardiovascular disease risk ( 11, 12). Arterial stiffness, an indicator of the flexibility of the arteries, increases with age through the loss of intact elastin and collagen fibres in the arterial wall ( 13, 14), which also contributes to increased blood pressure ( 15). Kyolic aged garlic extract has been shown to be effective in reducing arterial stiffness, which in turn is related to better heart health and aerobic fitness, while the risk of cardiovascular disease is reduced ( 7, 8, 12). if your blood pressure is consistently above 140/90mmHg (or 135/85mmHg at home) and you're under 80 years old, or 150/90mmHg (or 145/85mmHg at home) and you're 80 years old or over, but your risk of other problems is low – you'll be advised to make some changes to your lifestyle, though you and your doctor may still choose to consider medicine Previous meta-analyses and recent clinical trials have demonstrated that garlic supplements, including Kyolic aged garlic extract, are effective in reducing blood pressure in patients with uncontrolled hypertension, similar to first-line standard anti-hypertensive medications ( 1– 8). Uncontrolled hypertension, defined as systolic blood pressure (SBP) ≥140 mmHg and/or a diastolic blood pressure (DBP) ≥90 mmHg, including treated and untreated hypertensive patients, is prevalent in about a quarter (25%) of the adult population in Western countries ( 9). Up to 62% of patients on standard blood pressure medication experience adverse effects, such as fatigue, cold hands/feet, dry mouth, dizziness, headaches, muscular cramp/myalgia ( 10), thus highlighting the need for a more tolerable alternative therapeutic option. With its prebiotic properties, and the source of intracellular H 2S ( 16, 21), garlic has the potential to modulate the gut microbiota ( 22), and to restore the microbiota biofilm and mucus production ( 23). The timeframe for changes to be observed in the composition of the gut microbiota with dietary supplementation is relatively short, as shown in a 4-week study of patients with irritable bowel syndrome taking probiotics daily ( 24). In addition, the consumption of probiotics has been shown to significantly reduce blood pressure, in particular in trials of >8 weeks duration (meta-analysis of 9 RCTs involving 534 patients) ( 25). They used to be a popular treatment for high blood pressure, but now tend to be used only when other treatments have not worked.
