Summary

Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) is produced by aging raw garlic, which converts unstable sulfur compounds into stable, water-soluble ones like S-allyl-cysteine. These compounds exert antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and immunomodulatory effects. Its relevance to healthspan lies primarily in its well-documented ability to support cardiovascular health, improve endothelial function, modulate blood pressure, and potentially influence cellular aging pathways by reducing oxidative stress.

Purpose

Supports cardiovascular health, reduces inflammation, and modulates aging pathways.

Card Summary

Aged Garlic Extract provides stable sulfur compounds with antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, primarily supporting cardiovascular health and blood pressure regulation, contributing to a longer healthspan.
