New Clinical Study Finds Kyolic® Aged Garlic Extract™ Significantly Improves Aerobic Fitness
LOS ANGELES (March 27, 2025) — Aerobic fitness (“cardio”) is important at every age and stage of life. It’s especially true for people who engage in recreational endurance activities like biking, dancing, running, or swimming. But arterial stiffness—which worsens with age—compromises blood circulation, increasing the odds of developing high blood pressure and cardiovascular disease while also decreasing the supply of oxygen to the body’s tissues. This, in turn, can worsen aerobic fitness.
