Our Garlic Complex supplement provides a unique combination of aged fermented black garlic extract and garlic extract, while reducing the odor and sharp taste typically associated with raw garlic and garlic extracts. This combination offers heart and immune support, specifically broad-spectrum cardiovascular health, including support for healthy blood flow and platelet function, and arterial function along with the healthy breakdown of fats.. In addition, Garlic Complex provides support for maintaining a healthy gut and promoting immune system function.‡
The health-promoting effects of garlic come from its sulphur-containing compounds, including allicin and S-allyl-cysteine (SAC). The fermentation and aging process for black garlic increases the levels of SAC and other bioactive compounds like phenols and flavonoids. These important compounds act as antioxidants in the body to protect tissues and support cellular function.‡
Research
Animal and cell studies suggest that the cardiometabolic effects from aged black garlic are due primarily to antioxidant and cellular health support. In a randomized, double-blind trial involving 60 adults, 12 weeks of supplementation with 6 grams of aged black garlic revealed support for the healthy breakdown of fats. Standard garlic extract is included to promote broad-spectrum cardiovascular health, including support for healthy blood flow and platelet function, healthy lipid metabolism, and healthy arterial function. Garlic has also demonstrated support for maintaining a healthy gut ecology and promoting healthy immune system function.‡
