Aged Garlic Extract Supplementation Group
Subjects will be asked to consume three (3) capsules of 600 mg aged garlic extract (AGE) with food twice a day, for a total of 3.6 grams per day.
Standard for Groups
To assess for eligible study participants, the research team will use the Cholestech LDX® System (Alere™ Inc, Waltham, MA) to analyze finger-prick blood samples. This is an efficient and economical point of care testing for c-Reactive Protein (CRP), cholesterol and related lipids, and blood glucose, as diagnostic tools which provide information for immediate risk assessment and therapeutic monitoring of heart disease, inflammatory disorders and diabetes. Each finger prick will be treated individually.
Placebo
Participants will be asked to consume three (3) placebo capsules with food twice a day.
