The primary objective of this trial is to assess the effect of consumption of aged garlic extract powder on 24 h systolic and diastolic ambulatory blood pressure in hypertensive individuals following 8 weeks of supplementation.
Additional secondary objectives are to assess the effects of aged garlic extract powder intake for 8 weeks on lipid profile (TC, HDL-C, LDL-C, and TG concentrations), blood glucose, office blood pressure, pulse-wave velocity and augmentation index, body mass index, and waist and hip circumference.
Detailed Description:
Forty hypertensive volunteers between 18 and 75 years will be recruited from the Winnipeg (Manitoba, Canada) area to participate in a two arm crossover, double-blind, randomized, placebo-controlled intervention study for 8 weeks per study period following obtainment of informed consent.
