Focus on ResearchWakunaga is a leader in the field of scientific research with over 750 peer-reviewed published papers on Kyolic® Aged Garlic Extract’s™ ability to lower cholesterol, slow plaque formation, reduce stress and enhance immune health. A new Australian study has found that Aged Garlic Extract significantly reduces blood pressure in adults with hypertension, offering hope to those who don’t respond well to prescription medications or would prefer a natural therapy.

In 2016, eight new papers were published in the Journal of Nutrition where researchers discovered that Aged Garlic Extract (AGE) significantly reduces low-attenuation plaque, also known as soft plaque or non-calcified plaque, within the arteries of patients with metabolic syndrome. These findings add to a growing body of evidence that indicate AGE may reverse heart disease and has the ability to stabilize vulnerable plaque that can lead to future heart attack and stroke.

Quality ManufacturingIn our new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, we use stringent quality controls and follow current Good Manufacturing Practices, including the International ISO9001 quality management system, which results in products that are safe and effective.

What is Aged Garlic Extract?The production of Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract begins with garlic grown on Wakunaga farms under strictly controlled organic conditions without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. The raw garlic is harvested and then aged, without heating, up to 20 months in sealed stainless steel tanks. This unique aging process makes AGE up to 50 times richer in active beneficial compounds than raw garlic and more gentle on the stomach. This odor-eliminating conversion process results in safe, stable, bioavailable and beneficial compounds found only in Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract products.
