AGE as an Adjunct Treatment
The trial results showed a statistically significant difference between the blood pressure of patients on AGE and those on placebo. In patients with systolic blood pressure of 140 mm Hg or higher, AGE lowered systolic pressure by an average of 10.2 mm Hg, compared with placebo controls; an effect comparable to the reduction produced by common antihypertensive medications. In patients with a systolic blood pressure lower than 140 mm Hg the differences were not significant.
This trial shows that Kyolic AGE can serve as adjunct antihypertensive therapy. Previous studies found that reduction of blood pressure protects against heart disease and that a drop in systolic blood pressure by 5 mm Hg lowers the risk of cardiovascular disease by 8 –20 percent. Thus, the reduction in blood pressure of 10.2 mm Hg, by AGE, offers a dramatic and highly desirable protection against cardiovascular disease.
