- Aged Garlic Extract can help to promote cardiovascular health. This garlic supplement is suggested to help normalise blood pressure and serum cholesterol levels to prevent them from causing cardiovascular disease. In lab tests, the active ingredients of aged garlic has been shown to balance the bad cholesterol (Low Density Lipoprotein) and good cholesterol (High Density Lipoprotein) in the bloodstream, which prevents the formation of plaques in the arteries and facilitates effective transport of fats to the liver for elimination.
- Aged garlic extract further supports heart health by promoting normal relaxation of the blood vessels and reducing platelet aggregation. These mechanisms aids in lowering blood pressure levels and preventing the formation of blood clots that can obstruct normal blood flow.
- Garlic also has antioxidant properties that can render protection against free radical damage in the cells. The body gains free radicals from inflammation, exposure to pollutants, stress, and from normal metabolism. Antioxidants help stabilise these damaging oxygen species and prevent them from causing premature ageing and diseases. Additionally, aged garlic extract was also found to help the body in manufacturing glutathione, the most abundant and most potent antioxidant produced in the liver for more reliable antioxidant protection.
- In studies, aged garlic extract was found to potentially be effective in supporting the immune system’s abilities to fight bacteria, fungi, and viruses. The benefits of AGE for the immune system can be very useful during the winter and pollen seasons.
- Experts suggest that aged garlic extract may be effective in reducing the toxicity effects of acetaminophen overdose. This most commonly used pain reliever can be toxic when taken in large doses and can cause toxicity symptoms such as loss of appetite, nausea, vomiting, and in worse cases, liver failure.
Garlic (Allium sativum) belongs to Allium family together with onions, chives, leeks, and shallots. There are over 250 studies that suggest garlic can support cardiovascular health. Among these studies Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) is the form that showed consistent health benefits compared to fresh garlic bulbs. AGE is the only garlic form that contains S-allyl cysteine and S-allyl mercaptocysteine, which are thought to be responsible for all its health benefits especially for the heart. These water soluble organosulfur compounds are highly bioavalable and easily absorbed in the circulation. AGE helps to promote total cardiovascular health by reducing predisposing factors like platelet aggregation, high serum cholesterol levels, and hypertension. Wakunaga Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract is manufactured from fresh organic garlic bulbs which have undergone aging and slow extraction to eliminate odour and maximise garlic health benefits.
