CARUSO'S AGED GARLIC 240mg - 60 TABS
Have a question?
Garlic (Allium sativum) has been valued for thousands of years as both food and medicine. While fresh garlic is well-known for its sharp taste and pungent odor, aged garlic offers a gentler, more potent alternative with unique therapeutic benefits.
Garlic has traditionally been used in Western Herbal Medicine as an expectorant, which clears respiratory tract mucous and also helps TO support the health of the cardiovascular system.
What is Aged Garlic?
Aged garlic is created by placing raw garlic under controlled temperature and humidity conditions for up to 20 months. This process:
- Reduces the strong odor and harsh compounds of raw garlic.
- Converts unstable compounds like allicin into stable and bioavailable sulfur compounds, particularly S-allyl cysteine (SAC) and S-allyl mercaptocysteine (SAMC).
- Increases antioxidant activity, making it gentler on the stomach and more effective in some cases than raw garlic.
