Interested in Heart Health? Guess what? Calcium plays a role in maintaining normal blood pressure. Excess dietary calcium in the digestive tract can bond with the cholesterol-containing bile acids to form compounds that cannot be absorbed through the intestine thereby reducing the blood level of cholesterol. Studies show that garlic promotes cardiovascular health by helping to retain normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels when used daily as part of a low-fat, low-cholesterol diet. Shaklee Garlic also contains spearmint and rosemary that have antioxidant properties and they offset the aroma associated with garlic usage. Garlic is reported to dissolve plaque and lower plaque-forming blood lipids. These lipid can clog arteries and can lead to atherosclerosis and heart disease. Research has shown how garlic can lower the blood pressure through the actions of one of its components, methyl allyl trisulfide, which dilates vessel walls. Two components in garlic, adenosine and allicin, are involved in inhibiting blood platelet aggression, plaque building and clotting. Allicin has also been found to maintain healthy levels of microorganisms.
