Aged garlic isn't older garlic. It's a different molecule.
Slow-aging garlic for up to two years transforms its harsh, fragile compounds into S-allylcysteine — a stable, absorbable compound studied for cardiovascular support. Here's the science, in plain terms.

What 24 months of aging changes
Raw garlic's signature compound, allicin, is fragile by nature. Aging is what turns it into something your body can actually use.
Raw garlic
A crushed clove creates allicin — pungent, unstable, and gone within hours.
Up to 24 months aging
Slow, controlled aging gently converts those harsh compounds into gentler ones.
S-allylcysteine forms
The result is SAC: water-soluble, odorless, and stable enough to survive digestion.
Absorbed & measurable
SAC is absorbed into the bloodstream — the standardized marker researchers actually track.
Illustrative of trends reported in research on aged garlic extract. Not specific trial data; individual results vary.
Why consistency matters
Aged garlic's benefits aren't instant — they build. Across clinical trials, it's consistent daily use over several weeks where the meaningful cardiovascular changes tend to appear, not in the first few days.
What the research shows
Aged garlic extract is one of the more studied botanicals for heart health. Here's a plain-language summary of the themes researchers report.
Supports healthy blood pressure
In randomized controlled trials, aged garlic extract has been associated with meaningful reductions in systolic readings among people with elevated blood pressure already outside the normal range.*
Supports arterial flexibility
Some trials report improvements in markers of arterial stiffness with consistent daily use over several weeks.*
A favorable cholesterol picture
Meta-analyses suggest a modest, favorable effect on total cholesterol levels already within a normal range.*
Built for the long run
Because SAC is odorless and gentle on the stomach, aged garlic extract is well tolerated for the daily use its benefits depend on.

Why we age ours for a full 24 months
Shortcuts exist — but they don't build the same SAC content. Each Ciria softgel delivers a standardized, fully aged extract designed for the kind of consistency real cardiovascular support requires: one odorless softgel a day.
- 7,500mg aged-garlic equivalent per softgel
- Standardized for S-allylcysteine (SAC)
- Completely odorless — no garlic breath or burps
- Non-GMO, third-party tested for purity and potency
