We’re pleased to now offer Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) for patients who would like to experience the health and beauty benefits aged garlic offers without experiencing the side effects of consuming raw garlic. Unwanted effects of fresh garlic can be attributed most often to an oxidant, called allicin, which is released when the clover is cut, smashed, or chewed. More and more scientific studies are supporting that garlic does not have to be fresh in order to obtain efficacy. Its smell is simply not required to experience health benefits with AGE Garlic Extract.
Manufactured by Wakunaga Company
AGE is an alternate source of garlic, odorless and even richer in antioxidants, and manufactured by the Wakunaga Company. AGE is shown to be safe and effective as a concentrated source of garlic by over 350 scientific studies and is produced by a rigorous extraction process. Aged garlic is utilized in each capsule and cured at room temperature. It’s stored for 20-months, a process that increases antioxidants, converting normally unstable harsh compounds into more stable, healthier substances to be absorbed by the body.
Health-Enhancing, Youth-Extending Benefits
AGE features s-allyl mercaptocysteine unique unto AGE, as well as S-allyl cysteine. It has a 98% absorption rate and high bioavailability. Beneficial flavonoids, oil-soluble organosulfur compounds, selenium, and many more nutritionally-sound ingredients are densely packed inside of each capsule for daily use.
A is for Antioxidants
Garlic ranks highly among foods for its disease-preventing attributes; damage to DNA done by ROS leads to disease and quickens the aging process. Increased levels of Reactive Oxidative Species (ROS) involved in inflammation (also during sun overexposure, ionizing radiation, air and environmental toxins/pollutants, exercise, and some medications) will eventually require supplemental antioxidant protection. If nothing is done, oxidative stress will occur. Antioxidants in AGE, including glutathione, will help reduce oxidative stress and cultivate a healthy immune system while at the same time preventing drug toxicity.
Listen to Your Brain
Oxidative stress can play a role in a series of health problems, including arthritis, atherosclerosis, stroke, heart disease, HIV and AIDS, cancer, the aging process, and in apoptosis of neurons – which leads to Alzheimer’s disease and additional neurodegenerative conditions.
Organosulfur compound density sets garlic apart as well.
With approximately 10% of people over 65 years of age contracting Alzheimer’s disease, brain and neuron death that occurs after ischemic event or stroke can result in a loss of oxygen and nutrients to the brain which can lead to dementia. AGE has ingredients that have been shown to protect the brain against neurodegenerative conditions by preventing brain injury that generally follows ischemia. AGE helps protect neuronal cells against apoptosis and also works against A-beta induced oxidative death and degeneration.
Listen to Your Heart
Those who experience B vitamin deficiency, the situation can be due to high homocysteine in the blood (a major risk for stroke, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, even cancer). In addition, the combination of increased levels of LDL cholesterol, triglycerides, and high blood pressure are all major risk factors for stroke and heart disease. AGE’s S-allyl cysteine has been shown in multiple studies to help reduce heart disease and stroke risk.
AGE has also been shown to aid in artery protection from inflammation, which can often accelerate blood clot formation. UCLA conducted a breakthrough study that showed AGE kyolic aged garlic extract helps cut heart attack risk factors as well, providing anti-inflammatory and anti-clotting effects, promoting and stimulating blood circulation in capillaries, inhibiting prostaglandin synthesis in the process.
Additional Noteworthy Studies Conducted with AGE
Pennsylvania State University also conducted preclinical studies showing that AGE’s active ingredient homocysteine helps prevent high levels of toxic amino acids. Additional preclinical studies showed that AGE can prevent influenza when added to the diet for 10 days. AGE was found to be as effective as an immunization shot.
Antiviral Properties of AGE
AGE also enhances macrophage and spleen cell activity. This benefit improves helper/suppressor cell ratio in AIDS patients. AGE also increases natural killer cell (NK) activity, terminating invading organisms and cancer cells, while also stimulating T lymphocyte proliferation and boosting activity of phagocytic cells.
AGE has anti-fungal properties, inhibiting Candida albicans (a type of yeast), which is a leading cause of oral infections for those who are HIV-positive. AGE kills heliobacter pylori, a virulent organism that is linked to stomach ulcers and cancer. With 84% of people infected with H. pylori showing resistance to antibiotic treatment, AGE can be an important cure.
Age’s Anti-Cancer Effects
AGE and its ingredients have been shown to be beneficial in cancer therapy. Prostate, breast and colon cancer are all leading causes of cancer-related deaths. S-allyl cysteine and S-allyl mercaptocysteine (unique compound found in abundance in aged garlic extract) have been found to inhibit prostate cancer cell growth, for instance, by close to 80%. Additional studies showed that ingredients in AGE can help stop breast cancer cell growth, erythroleukemia, as well as colon cancer cells. S-allyl mercaptocysteine has been shown to prevent colon cancer cell growth by 71% by disrupting cellular microtubules, disrupting cell division.
AGE also possesses ingredients that prevent environmental toxins and carcinogens from being processed by the liver, as well as medically-prescribed and over-the-counter pain reducers which can wreak havoc on the body. FDA has issued warnings to Americans (thousands every day) who unwittingly take in potentially fatal doses of acetaminophen, which depletes liver glutathione, which acts as a detoxifying molecule. As a result, the liver can go into failure. Consider AGE to help aid your body’s defenses.
AGE Equals Anti-Aging
Preclinical studies also showed in participants genetically prone to fall victim to early aging showed that AGE exhibited anti-aging effects for the body and for the mind. AGE’s magical, natural ingredients prevents frontal lobe degeneration, improving learning and memory retention for an extended life span.
The Safety of AGE
Toxicological tests confirm the safety of the AGE supplement, which is produced through high quality control standards. These capsules, tablet or liquid form, are made from stable and beneficial ingredients.
There is a lot of debate surrounding allicin, a volatile and non-bioavailable, reactive oxidant. There is no known way to stabilize allicin. AGE kyolic garlic extract excludes allicin, making it a stable, odorless, highly bioavailable supplement.
Benefits Rundown
AGE causes anti-cancer activity in the body, protecting against free radicals and carcinogens induced by DNA damage and increases to carcinogen detoxification. It also protects against the toxic effects of pollution, UV light, as well as drug toxicity from prescription drugs. AGE boosts your immunity and helps prevent viral, bacterial and yeast infections, even allergies. For those in training, AGE enhances vigor, reduces muscle and performance fatigue, while also reducing stress.
AGE also encapsulates ingredients well-known and proven to exhibit anti-aging and neuroprotective effects that prevent neuron death, enhances the memory, mental cognition, and also stimulates the branching of neurons in the hippocampus (the memory region of the brain).
AGE also works to stop human cancer cell growth, a wide variety in fact, including breast, colon, and prostate cancers, as well as melanoma and erythroleukemia. AGE even has the potential to be an adjuvant in tandem with cancer therapy.
Taken regularly, aged garlic extract (Kyolic) provides a comprehensive health care regimen. The best thing about AGE aged garlic extract (Kyolic) is that it provides the health benefits of fresh garlic, and often improves upon them. AGE protects against toxins and reduces the effects of pollution, UV light, and even drug toxicity. AGE will also boost your immunity and prevent viral and bacterial infection, as well as yeast infections and allergies.
