Aged Garlic Extract™ Kyolic AGE or Aged Garlic Extract is produced from organically growth garlic, which meets stringent specifications, including content of total sulfur, thioallyl compounds, proteins, and saccharides. The garlic is then aged for up to 20 months in stainless steel tanks. The cold-process aging gently modifies harsh and irritating compounds from the raw garlic and naturally generates unique and beneficial compounds through enzymatic and natural chemical reactions. Clinical studies have shown the reduction of cardiovascular disease risk factors including reduction of blood lipids or fats, such as serum cholesterol, and triglycerides, inhibition of platelet aggregation or blood-thinning effects, enhancement of circulation and reduction in blood pressure following the intake of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract. A randomized double-blind placebo controlled pilot clinical study has shown significant inhibition of plaque formation in the coronary artery of heart surgery patients by consuming 4ml of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract a day, for about a year. Approximately 65% of significant reduction in plaque formation was observed in Kyolic group compared to placebo. Blood homocysteine and LDL have a tendency to reduce via Kyolic supplementation as well. In addition, HDL has a tendency to increase. Thus, Kyolic AGE may be very beneficial and useful for prevention of stopping blood flow to the heart, especially in high-risk people including heart surgery patients. Another clinical study administered four capsules of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract liquid daily to subjects with elevated levels of cholesterol while another group received a placebo indistinguishable from the Kyolic capsules. Serum levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the Kyolic-taking group significantly dropped, while the placebo group showed no change. After six months, 73% of subjects experienced a significant reduction in serum cholesterol and 67% of subjects experienced drop of greater that 10% in triglycerides. Moreover, subjects’ serum levels of LDL cholesterol, a major risk factor for heart disease, were decreased by Kyolic supplementation. Concurrently, an increase in HDL cholesterol, which is known to protect against heart disease, was observed in the Kyolic-taking group. References ADDIN EN.REFLIST 1.
