Aged Black Garlic Benefits

- Supports overall cardiovascular health
Better with age: black garlic benefits
Garlic is good for your heart. One of the reasons for this is a compound called S-allyl-cysteine, or SAC. Aged garlic extract, which is a source of S-allyl-cysteine, has been clinically studied to support heart health, but it’s found in relatively small amounts in raw garlic (so you can’t count on your pesto to offer these benefits). Interestingly, aging the garlic increases the amount of SAC. Another excellent effect of the aging process: it reduces or eliminates the “garlic” odor found in some other garlic supplements.
Clinical Studies
In a randomized, placebo-controlled study, healthy adults took 500 mg of a garlic extract standardized to provide 2.5 mg of S-allyl cysteine. Blood lipids like cholesterol and triglycerides were measured, as well as blood pressure and fasting blood sugar levels. The group taking SAC-enriched garlic extract experienced support for maintaining normal triglyceride levels, LDL cholesterol, and total cholesterol, as well as support for maintaining normal blood pressure and fasting glucose levels after 12 weeks.
FAQ
What is in Aged Black Garlic?
This product contains 500 mg of a trademarked aged garlic extract that has been standardized to 2.5 mg of S-allyl-cysteine (SAC). SAC, an active compound naturally occurring in garlic, supports cardiovascular health. Raw garlic typically contains low amounts of this compound, but the process of aging raw garlic boosts its SAC concentration per serving.
How is the garlic in this supplement aged?
Raw garlic is aged for 15-90 days and undergoes heat and humidity treatment processes to increase the amount of SAC. This process provides almost twice the amount compared to standard garlic formulations.
How does this supplement support heart health?
The Aged Black Garlic in this formula, which is standardized to 0.5% SAC, has been clinically studied to maintain already-healthy blood pressure, cholesterol and triglyceride levels, HDL, and fasting blood glucose.
Does this product have a strong odor or taste?
No. The aging process used in this extract helps reduce garlic's natural odor and taste, especially compared to standard garlic formulations. Additionally, as odor may accumulate in the free space of the product, there might be a stronger smell when first opening the bottle, but it should diminish with continued use.
When can I expect an effect?
In a study of people who took the garlic extract we use in Aged Black Garlic, positive effects were experienced as early as 28 days (with the best effects seen after 84 days). We suggest following the study duration to determine individual efficacy.
Can I take Aged Black Garlic if I have a sensitive stomach?
The aging process makes the garlic easier on the stomach, which is helpful for sensitive individuals. However, since all our biochemistries are unique, tolerance will depend from person to person. Choosing to take this product with a meal may also lessen any potential interactions in those with sensitive stomachs.
Who should take Aged Black Garlic?
Anyone looking for a once-daily garlic product to support overall cardiovascular health should try Aged Black Garlic.
How does Aged Black Garlic compare to your Optimized Garlic product? Should I take both?
Each of our garlic products are standardized and intended for different health needs. Aged Black Garlic is standardized to S-allyl-cysteine and is designed to promote heart health. Optimized Garlic is standardized to allicin potential and is intended to support healthy immune function. Those who want to maximize either of these health benefits can choose to take one or both of these products.
When is the best time to take Aged Black Garlic? Should it be taken before or after a meal?
