Forms of garlic have been used as both food and medicine because of its antioxidant properties. Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract comes from organically grown garlic bulbs, which are aged to prevent unpleasant odors and undesirable side effects from occurring. It contains standardized S-allyl cysteine, an antioxidant. Although there are many benefits to Kyolic garlic supplementation, be sure to discuss taking it on a regular basis with your family physician.
Reduce Cholesterol
Atherosclerosis is the buildup of fatty deposits along the artery walls. "The Journal of Nutrition" included a 2001 study by Julie H. Campbell and colleagues who found that Kyolic garlic supplementation reduced the surface area of the thoracic aorta that was covered by fatty streaks and significantly reduced aortic arch cholesterol by 64 percent. It was then shown that Kyolic has antiatherogenic and lipid accumulation effects in the artery walls. Kyolic garlic on a regular basis could, therefore, lead to an improvement in heart health. If you have a history of heart disease, be sure to discuss these benefits with your doctor before taking Kyolic garlic.
Improve the Immune System
The University of Maryland Medical Center reports that a study of nearly 150 people found that garlic supplements helped prevent and treat the common cold when given for 12 weeks. Those participating in the study who received garlic had significantly fewer colds than those who received a placebo. In addition, it was shown that cold symptoms were relieved faster among those taking garlic supplements compared with those receiving placebo. Gourmet Garlic Gardens explains that Kyolic garlic contains no fat solubles, which makes it easier to absorb and could, therefore, increase its effectiveness on the immune system. Speak with your doctor about Kyolic garlic and the benefits regarding the common cold and the immune system.
Aid with Cancer Prevention
Kyolic garlic, with its ability to help the immune system, may also have anticancer benefits. According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, several studies that followed groups of people over time showed that individuals who have more raw or cooked garlic in their diet are less likely to develop certain types of cancer, particularly colon and stomach cancers. Gourmet Garlic Gardens says that since Kyolic garlic's water soluble compounds are easily absorbed and utilized by the body, its antitumor properties might be increased. Before taking Kyolic garlic on a regular basis, speak with your physician about its cancer preventing properties.
