Q. An old doctor told my husband that Kyolic garlic capsules might bring his blood pressure down. I started taking them myself, one in the morning and one at night. Now my blood pressure is lower than normal most of the time. My doctor has taken me off the atenolol and lisinopril I used to take.
A. You did this experiment properly, with your doctor’s supervision. People should not stop blood pressure medication on their own.
There have been many studies on garlic and blood pressure, but the results have been mixed. A recent review and meta-analysis from Australia concludes that garlic works better than placebo in lowering blood pressure (BMC Cardiovascular Disorders, June 2008).

A comment about garlic lowering high blood pressure, worked with this gentlemen who didn't have a problem with his blood pressure, but at lunch time he would eat a clove or 2 of garlic ever day. Then he went to his doctor for a check up and found out he had very low blood pressure. The doctor checked him out and was puzzled because, physically he couldn't find what cause it. started asking him question about hid diet, and then found out about how much garlic he was eating per day, and told him to cut back on his intake because that was probably the reason. so he did as the doctor told him and it worked.
