Aged garlic extract acts as an antioxidant by neutralizing free radicals, protecting cells from damage and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases. The allicin-derived metabolites are the active components.
Aged garlic extract contains sulfur compounds, specifically allicin-derived metabolites, which neutralize free radicals within the body. By scavenging these free radicals, aged garlic extract helps protect cells from oxidative damage, thereby contributing to overall health and potentially reducing the risk of chronic diseases associated with oxidative stress.
