Joining us today is our good friend and colleague, Jim LaValle, a Clinical Pharmacist, Author, Board Certified Clinical Nutritionist, and Health Expert. Jim joins us to discuss a very exciting, NEWLY published study that shows that Kyolic Aged Garlic Extract supplements can significantly reduce periodontal pocket depth – a key indicator of gingivitis and periodontal disease progression.
It’s an alarming fact, but periodontal disease affects most adults in America.
According to the National Institutes of Health, nearly HALF of American adults over the age of 30 suffer from some form of periodontal disease which is linked to tooth loss and systemic conditions like cardiovascular disease, type 2 diabetes, COPD, and other respiratory issues.
In the latest study, which appeared in the February 2025 issue of Biomedical Reports, 300 otherwise healthy adults with moderate-to-severe periodontal disease were divided into four treatment groups—three groups who were assigned to take various doses of AGE and one control group. Over the next 18 months, researchers found that the participants supplementing with AGE experienced marked reductions in periodontal pocket depth – a key indicator of disease progression—compared to those taking the placebo.
The study, which was conducted by scientists at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem, also demonstrated that a greater daily AGE intake led to better outcomes. Statistical modeling confirmed that improvements were most strongly associated with participants’ baseline pocket depths, smoking status, and AGE dosage.
