How to Reverse Plaque Buildup in Arteries

The supplement Aged Garlic Extract can reverse the buildup of deadly plaque in arteries and help prevent the progression of heart disease, according to a new study scheduled for publication in the Journal of Nutrition.

The research, conducted at LA BioMed, found a reduction in the amount of low-attenuation plaque, or “soft plaque,” in the arteries of patients with metabolic syndrome who took Aged Garlic Extract. Metabolic syndrome is characterized by obesity, hypertension, and other cardiac risk factors.


Dr. Ford Brewer on how he reversed his own arterial plaque

What did he use to reverse it?
1. Eating Salmon every day to get lots of Omega 3.
2. Supplementing with Niacin (2 grams) which improve HDL and decrease LDL and Triglycerides.
3. Lowering blood pressure by changing medications to ACE inhibitors that also decrease inflammation.

“This study is another demonstration of the benefits of this supplement in reducing the accumulation of soft plaque and preventing the formation of new plaque in the arteries, which can cause heart disease,” said Matthew J. Budoff, MD, an LA BioMed lead-researcher. “We have completed four randomized studies, and they have led us to conclude that Aged Garlic Extract can help slow the progression of atherosclerosis and reverse the early stages of heart disease.”

The study involved:

55 patients.
Aged 40 to 75 years.
That were diagnosed with metabolic syndrome.
All the participants underwent screening at the beginning of the study to measure the total coronary plaque volume as well as dense calcium, non-calcified plaque, and low-attenuation plaque.
The screening was conducted using Cardiac Computed Tomography Angiography (CCTA), a noninvasive imaging technology that accurately measures calcium deposits and plaque buildup in the arteries.

Study Method:

Following evaluation, the participants were given:
Either a placebo or a dose of 2,400 milligrams of Aged Garlic Extract every day.
A follow-up screening conducted a year after the initial screening had found:
Those who had taken Aged Garlic Extract had slowed total plaque accumulation by 80%, reduced soft plaque and demonstrated regression (less plaque on follow-up) for the low-attenuation plaque.

Manganese 2 mg

Two new studies have shown that manganese might play a key role in reducing atherosclerotic plaque buildup, a leading cause of cardiovascular diseases.
