It's a tasty addition to many meals, and now garlic may one day help diabetes.
In animal studies, a drug based on the vanadium-allaxin compound found in garlic reduced blood glucose levels in type one diabetic mice when taken orally. Japanese researchers hope to move on to human clinical trials.
The study was published in the journal Metallomics.
