10 Things One Odorless Softgel Does for Your Heart
People have used garlic for heart health for thousands of years. What's new is the part that changes everything: slow aging. Here's what the research on aged garlic extract actually says.*
Your last checkup ended with a familiar phrase: “let's keep an eye on it.”
Maybe it was your numbers. Maybe it's the family history that's on your mind a little more every birthday. Maybe it's the cold hands and feet, or the feeling that you're doing all the right things and still can't stop thinking about your heart.
You've probably heard garlic is good for the heart. You may have even tried garlic pills once and tasted garlic all day. Here's what most people are never told: the garlic in most of those pills isn't the garlic the research is about.

The difference is time
Why “Aged” Garlic Is a Different Ingredient
Raw garlic's best-known compound, allicin, is powerful but unstable. It forms when a clove is crushed and breaks down quickly, which is also why raw garlic is so hard on the stomach and so strong on the breath.2
When garlic is slowly aged, its chemistry changes. Harsh, short-lived compounds are gradually converted into stable, water-soluble ones, most notably S-allyl cysteine (SAC), the most studied compound in aged garlic extract.1 That's the form used in most of the heart research below.
The list
10 Things Aged Garlic Does for You
Supports healthy blood pressure already within the normal range*
Aged garlic extract is one of the most researched natural ingredients for blood pressure. Randomized, placebo-controlled trials lasting 12 weeks have studied it in adults.3,4 The goal isn't to force a number down for a few hours. It's steady daily support for the arteries behind that number.
Supports healthy circulation, right down to your hands and feet*
This is the one people tend to notice first. Aged garlic has been studied for its role in supporting healthy blood flow and vascular function, which is why, for some people, “always cold” gradually stops being normal.*4
Helps keep arteries flexible as you age*
Arteries naturally lose some of their give over time. In the FAITH randomized trial, a supplement of aged garlic extract plus CoQ10 was studied for vascular elasticity and endothelial function.5 A later trial looked at arterial stiffness with aged garlic extract alone.6
Supports healthy cholesterol already within the normal range*
A meta-analysis of garlic trials looked at total and LDL cholesterol in adults, as part of a heart-healthy lifestyle.7 It's one daily habit that supports more than one piece of the picture.
Fewer sick days when colds are going around*
In a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled study, adults who took aged garlic extract throughout cold and flu season reported less severe symptoms and fewer missed days of work or school.8
Whole-body antioxidant defense*
Aged garlic is rich in antioxidant sulfur compounds like SAC that help your body handle everyday oxidative stress from diet, stress and pollution.1
Steadier everyday energy*
When circulation and cellular defenses are supported, many customers describe steadier days, without stimulants and without jitters. (That's customer experience, not a clinical finding.)
All of garlic's benefits, none of the breath
The formula is odorless and gentle on digestion: no garlic breath, no burping it up an hour later, no aftertaste. That matters, because a supplement only helps if you actually keep taking it.
Truly aged, so it contains SAC
Quick-process powder pills aren't aged, so they don't develop the SAC-rich profile the research is built on. NatureLabs MD is aged for a full 24 months and concentrated 15:1, delivering 500 mg of aged garlic extract per serving (made from about 7.5 g of garlic, roughly two cloves).
A clean daily habit you'll actually keep
It has no artificial colors, flavors, preservatives or unnecessary fillers, and it's non-GMO, gluten-free, soy-free, vegetarian and third-party tested. Take it with breakfast and get on with your day.

Honest comparison
What About the Other Options?
Most people try one of these first.
Raw garlic every morning
It has real benefits on paper, but it's unstable and harsh on the stomach, and the breath means almost nobody sticks with it past a week.
Cheap garlic powder pills
These are usually just dried garlic that hasn't been aged, so they contain little of the SAC the research focuses on.
Aged garlic extract
It's slow-aged for stable SAC, odorless and gentle, and it's the form studied in the trials cited on this page.
Buyer's checklist
Not All “Aged Garlic” Is Actually Aged

- GMP certified
- Non-GMO
- Third-party lab tested

FAQ
Questions? Here Are the Answers
How long until I notice anything?
Think weeks and months, not days. Much of the research looks at consistent daily use over about 12 weeks. We suggest at least 30 to 60 days. Individual results vary.
Will I get garlic breath?
No. The formula is odorless and gentle on digestion, with no garlic breath, burping or aftertaste.
How is this different from garlic pills I've tried?
Most garlic pills are dried powder that hasn't been aged. NatureLabs MD is aged a full 24 months and concentrated 15:1 for SAC, the compound the research focuses on.
How do I take it?
Follow the directions on the label and product page. Take it every day, preferably with a meal.
Can I take it with medication?
It's not a substitute for anything your doctor prescribed. Garlic may interact with some medications. If you take a blood thinner or blood-pressure medication, have surgery scheduled, or have a medical condition, check with your healthcare provider first.
What if it isn't for me?
You're covered by the 90-day money-back guarantee.
You Have Two Choices
You can keep “keeping an eye on it” with raw garlic you'll give up on within a week, or with powder pills that were never aged.
Or add one simple, odorless daily habit backed by real research on aged garlic extract, with 90 days to decide if it's right for you.*
