Aged Garlic (cont'd)

Garlic preparations have been shown to lower serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels, which are major risk factors of cardiovascular diseases, through inhibition of their bio-synthesis in the liver, and to inhibit oxidation of Low Density Lipoprotein (LDL).

Protecting LDL cholesterol from free radical-induced oxidation is one way to prevent from developing of atherosclerosis. Oxidized LDL injures cells that line blood vessels, which increases plaque-forming cholesterol deposits in the vessel wall. Aged garlic extract has been shown to protect LDL cholesterol from oxidation and prevent cell injury in the blood vessels.

Exposure to toxic substances lowers body’s glutathione levels. Aged garlic extract, by its antioxidant action, enhances the cellular antioxidant enzymes and increases glutathione in the cells. Scientists and nutritionally oriented physicians believe that maintaining high levels of glutathione, a powerful antioxidant used by cells throughout the body, may well be equated with good health.
