Garlic - Allicin

I am looking to focus on my blood pressure as heavy weight have pushed this up a notch to around 130 / 80. I am going to start using my hand grips again, but I noticed that garlic drops my numbers - but there is the smell. I have researched all I can. Is there a variety you know of, or safe processed option you are aware of.

Have you pickled garlic successfully, I understand that this keeps the goodness (allicin).

Thanks.
