Effects of garlic on blood fluidity and fibrinolytic activity: a randomised, placebo-controlled, double-blind study.
In summary, it can be said that the improvement of blood fluidity and the simultaneous increase in fibrinolytic activity are an ideal complement. While the increase in fibrinolytic activity supports the physiological reparation process in the microcirculation, the improvement of blood fluidity produces an increase in capillary perfusion that has, in some way, a cleaning effect, with a 'purification' of the microcirculation.
