There is only one study that I know of which showed that Aged Garlic Extract reduced soft plaque in arteries. This study had only 55 participants,so not much can be taken from it. And, all these people had cholesterol and triglyceride abnormalities. Garlic has been known to lower cholesterol levels. Also, plaque becomes calcified over time. There is no evidence that Garlic can remove this type of plaque.
