Garlic is an ingredient that can be found in most households as a flavour enhancing addition to lots of family dinners. However, did you know that garlic has been famous for its health benefits for centuries?
Garlic is known for its ability to manage a range of ailments, from the common cold to high blood pressure, however taking a large dose of raw garlic can be difficult to measure, hard to digest and it certainly won’t do any favours for your breath.
Numerous studies have shown that Aged Garlic Extract can not only maintain a healthy immune system, but recent breakthrough research published in the Journal of Nutrition shows that Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract may assist in the maintenance of cholesterol within the normal, healthy range in healthy individuals.
Ageing garlic for its health benefits began in Japan following WWII when German Professor, Dr Eugene Schwell, was tasked with the responsibility of restoring the energy levels and overall health of the Japanese population. He introduced the popular Japanese practise of ageing and fermentation to garlic and found it increased the herb’s potency beyond its natural levels.
To preserve its natural benefits, the garlic used in Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract is grown using strict, organic farming methods, which prohibit the use of chemical seed treatments, non-organic fertilisers and pesticides.
Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract then goes through a unique ageing process that converts the compounds found in raw garlic into water soluble, stable sulfur compounds that make dosing easier.
The ageing process that the raw garlic goes through not only eliminates the garlic odour, but also the sulfur-containing compounds found in garlic, which can cause gut irritation and heartburn for some people.
