The Benefits of Aged Garlic Extract, Part 1

Can Aged Garlic Extract (Kyolic) reduce plaque in the coronary arteries? We talk to Dr. Matthew Budoff, cardiology researcher at UCLA, about his latest study using precise arterial imaging to quantify the benefits of daily intake of Aged Garlic Extract; How does Aged Garlic Extract exert its therapeutic effects? How does Aged Garlic Extract compare to other garlic supplements? What about the allicin controversy? Is it better to just eat a lot of garlic? Does garlic have benefits for other bodily systems? Is it cancer preventive? We also discuss coronary imaging and it’s potential to spot developing arterial wall deposits well before they result in heart attacks—who’s a candidate for the test, which scan is right for you, and how often should you be tested.
