Pharmactive’s New Generation of Aged Black Garlic Shows Cardioprotective Effects
Black garlic is a whole raw garlic bulb that has been fermented under controlled temperatures and relative humidity
An in vivo animal study revealed that aged black garlic extract (Pharmactive Biotech Products, S.L. ABG10+®) containing S-allyl-cysteine (SAC) and polyphenols could help promote vascular health. ABG10+, a Nutraingredients Asia Award-winning proprietary black garlic extract formulation, demonstrated that supplementation with this unique compound could help maintain proper cardiovascular function, balance lipids, and decrease the risk of atherosclerosis.
Cardiovascular disease remains the No. 1 global killer, representing 31% of all deaths each year, for a total of about 18 million lives, according to the World Health Organization. Oxidative stress — where free oxygen radicals induce genetic and tissue damage — is a known cause of atherosclerosis.
