Scientific Information on Symptoms of Peripheral Vascular Disease
Human Effect Matrix
The Human Effect Matrix looks at human studies (it excludes animal and in vitro studies) to tell you what supplements affect symptoms of peripheral vascular disease
| Grade | Level of Evidence [show legend] |
|---|---|
|
Robust research conducted with repeated double-blind clinical trials |
|
Multiple studies where at least two are double-blind and placebo controlled |
|
Single double-blind study or multiple cohort studies |
|
Uncontrolled or observational studies only |
|
Level of Evidence
?
The amount of high quality evidence. The mo
re evidence, the more we can trust the results.
|
Outcome |
Magnitude of effect
?
The direction and size of the supplement's impact on
each outcome. Some supplements can have an increasing effect, others have a decreasing effect, and others have no effect.
|
Consistency of research results
?
Scientific research does not always agree. HIGH or
VERY HIGH means that most of the scientific research agrees.

Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
|
|
Garlic | - | Very High See 2 studies |
Although there may theoretically be some benefit with higher doses, currently the available evidence has not found a protective effect with 900mg of raw garlic extract.
|
|
|
Cocoa Extract |
Minor
|
Moderate See 2 studies |
There is mixed evidence as to suggest benefits to peripheral vascular disease when cocoa (40-50g dark chocolate) is ingested acutely before walking tests.
