What is Aged Garlic Extract™?

Aged Garlic Extract™ is a special form of garlic that’s created using a strictly managed process that takes several months to complete. The extract starts off as organically-grown garlic bulbs that are picked, peeled, sliced and naturally aged in controlled conditions for up to 20 months.

Once it has finished ageing, the extract is dried, encapsulated, and used around the world to support healthy immunity, cardiovascular system health, blood pressure and cholesterol levels in healthy individuals, and general well-being.

What makes Aged Garlic Extract™ different to fresh garlic?

You could think of the relationship between fresh garlic and Aged Garlic Extract™ as being much like the one between grapes and fine wine. They both start off with the same ingredients, but the end products are very different.

Scientific analysis shows that the unique aging process transforms several of the active compounds in fresh garlic into completely new ones that didn’t exist before it was aged. In particular, the harsh, unstable, oil-based compounds that give fresh garlic its characteristic pungent odour transform into milder, stable, water-based ones that are odour-free.

Is there any research behind Aged Garlic Extract™?
