The production of KYOLIC odorless Aged Garlic Extract begins with garlic grown on Wakunaga farms under strictly controlled organic conditions without the use of chemical fertilizers, herbicides or pesticides. Wakunaga’s garlic crop is cultivated with time-tested procedures to enhance its beneficial constituents. Quality control begins when the harvested raw garlic is tested for conformity to specified quality standards. Only the finest garlic is used for the production of KYOLIC. The unique aging process applied in manufacturing Aged Garlic Extract distinguishes KYOLIC from other garlic products available on the market. First, the garlic cloves are cleaned and sliced. Then, under carefully controlled conditions, the sliced garlic is stored in a stainless steel tank and naturally aged, without heating, for up to twenty months. Through this unique process, the harsh and unstable organosulfur compounds are converted into mild and effective compounds, including the sulfur-containing amino acids that are responsible for KYOLIC’s health benefits. This conversion eliminates odor-causing components, resulting in the truly odorless KYOLIC Aged Garlic Extract that contains safe, stable, bioavailable and beneficial compounds.
