FAQ:

What is in Aged Black Garlic?

This supplement contains 500 mg of a trademarked aged garlic extract standardized to 2.5 mg of S-allyl-cysteine (SAC). SAC can support cardiovascular health and is an active compound naturally occurring in aged black garlic. While raw garlic typically has low levels of SAC, the aging process significantly boosts its concentration per serving.

How is the garlic in this product aged?

Raw garlic undergoes a 15-to-90-day aging process with heat and humidity treatments to increase SAC content. This method provides almost twice the SAC amount compared to standard garlic formulations.

How does this formula promote heart health?

The aged black garlic in this supplement, standardized to 0.5% SAC, has been clinically studied to support healthy blood pressure, cholesterol, triglyceride levels, HDL, and fasting blood glucose.

Does this garlic supplement have a strong odor or taste?

No. The aging process used for this extract reduces garlic's natural odor and taste, compared to standard garlic formulations. There might be a stronger smell when first opening the bottle due to odor accumulation in the free space, but it should diminish with continued use.
