Aged Garlic Extract is garlic that has been aged for 20 months then fermented, in a process first presented by German Professor, Dr Eugene Schwell, in the 1940s. He introduced the popular Japanese practice of aging and fermentation to garlic and found it increased the garlic’s potency beyond its natural levels, as well as removed the compounds that cause its pungent odor on the breath, stomach aches and heart burn. This new extract of garlic was given the name “Aged Garlic Extract”.
