As preparações de alho apresentam destaque científico na dislipidemia e hipertensão. Avaliar informações de rotulagem e alegações anti-hipertensiva e hipolipemiante dos suplementos de alho comercializados no Brasil. Foi rastreada as formulações de alho registradas na Agência Nacional de Vigilância Sanitária. Os sítios eletrônicos comerciais e o serviço de atendimento ao consumidor dos produtos selecionados foram utilizados na extração das informações de interesse: composição, desodorização, dosagem, preço e alegações que associadas ao tratamento da hipertensão e dislipidemia. Para avaliação de informações de rótulos foram utilizadas resoluções e instruções normativas de suplementos alimentares. 68 formulações de alho foram incluídas na pesquisa, com prevalência do óleo de alho. Além disso, apenas 10 suplementos são desodorizados e as alegações anti-hipertensivas e hipolipemiante foram encontradas em 42 sítios eletrônicos. Grandes variações de dosagem, preço, recomendação diária e sugestão de uso foram identificadas. Na análise da composição, o óleo de soja e a alicina foram os principais constituintes do óleo de alho, porém a omissão desses ingredientes foi frequente nessa formulação. Outras omissões também foram destacadas, como público específico, rotulagem complementar e designações expressas. O presente estudo destaca a disponibilidade do óleo de alho no mercado brasileiro. No entanto, essa categoria de alho não apresenta evidências científicas suficientes para ser considerado como produto com efetividade terapêutica no tratamento da hipertensão e dislipidemia. Além disso, a omissão de informações evidenciadas em nossos resultados pode comprometer a segurança e a adesão, pois reações adversas podem ser causadas pela elevada ingestão de compostos organossulfurados.
