Is Aged Garlic Extract Better Than Allicin?
There is a great deal of debate between the proponents of AGE on the one hand and supporters of allicin on the other. There is research showing that both have potential health benefits for some individuals. Those benefits will undoubtedly be different but it is difficult to say which is “better”. AGE has the advantage that it does not cause the breath to smell. It might also be more suitable for those who are sensitive to the strength of allicin. However it has the disadvatage that you need to buy it at the store rather than just crushing an inexpensive garlic clove and adding it to your food. Personally I’m fortunate enough to have a high tolerance for raw garlic so I’ve never felt the need to try AGE. If you think it might be for you I’d recommend asking your doctor for advice.
