The Kyolic Garlic & Aerobic Fitness Trial
Arterial stiffness is a cardiovascular risk factor, which increases naturally with age. Kyolic garlic has been shown to improve the flexibility of arteries, and slows down blood flow, which may improve oxygen uptake, associated with aerobic fitness.

The NIIM Research Department: Over a Decade of Dedication and Discovery
Our research spectrum is vast, touching upon critical areas like cancer, heart health, cognitive studies, chronic conditions, and the important relationship between the mind and body. We are proud to contribute to global scientific evidence-based best practice. NIIM Research is founded on our core belief that Integrative medicine treatments are pivotal in optimising management of chronic and serious illnesses while being an effective approach for improving general health and wellbeing.
At the heart of NIIM’s mission lies our Research Department’s unwavering commitment to:
Robust Framework
Forging a robust evidence framework supporting the use of complementary therapies both as standalone treatments and in conjunction with traditional medicine.
High Safety Standards
Vigilantly monitoring the safety and tolerability of complementary and natural therapies, based on scientific evidence.
Value and Efficacy
Championing the value and efficacy of complementary therapies to the broader public, the scientific arena, governmental bodies, and funding organisations.
We believe that integrative and holistic health treatments, encompassing natural medicine, not only enhance overall wellbeing but also serve as a strong preventive measure against diseases. This holistic perspective can significantly elevate public health standards. Moreover, complementary or natural medicine may supplement and enhance the benefits of conventional treatments.
NIIM takes pride in its clinical research work. High-calibre research at NIIM is grounded in expert knowledge, cutting edge technology and meticulous methods. This includes effectively disseminating our results via peer-reviewed journals and media outlets. Additionally, we assist with reporting and regulatory submissions in relation to the Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA) and all research is approved by a Human Research Ethics Committee.
Our track record boasts numerous pioneering research initiatives. With an eye on the horizon, NIIM is clearly the leading hub of ground-breaking research in integrative medicine.
The NIIM Research Department celebrated its ten-year anniversary in 2022. To read more about the significant studies undertaken by NIIM Research, please read our brochure
