Can Garlic Supplements Be Taken To Manage Elevated Cholesterol Levels?
I have never had high cholestrol until three months ago and it was 216, and my doctor ordered an ABI, which revealed I had peripheral artery disease, my doctor wants me to take Crestor and I do not want to... Would it be ok to use garlic instead and other supplements? I am female, age 70, and with 130 pounds. My e-mail is YYYY@YYYY

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service. I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.
Yes, it is helpful. But make sure you don't have low BP, as garlic supplements lowers blood pressure. If you are willing to take garlic supplements, then keep monitoring your BP and increase the fluid intake.
