Aged garlic extract
Aged garlic extract is made by ageing raw garlic for months. This turns the sharp, smelly compounds in fresh garlic into more stable, milder ones such as S-allyl cysteine. It's one of the most studied forms of garlic supplement.
Raw honey
Raw honey gives the drops a more pleasant taste. At a few drops a day, it's there for taste rather than any meaningful health effect. Honey isn't suitable for babies under 12 months.

Aged garlic extract explained
Aged garlic extract is made by soaking garlic for many months. The ageing turns harsh, smelly compounds into milder, more stable ones such as S-allyl cysteine. That's why aged garlic is often easier on the stomach and breath than raw garlic.
It's one of the most researched forms of garlic. Most studies look at blood pressure, cholesterol and how flexible arteries are.

Why raw honey?
Raw honey mainly makes the drops easier to take by softening the garlic taste. We aren't aware of good evidence that the small amount in a daily serve adds a health benefit of its own.
If you have diabetes, the sugar in a few drops is very small, but it's still worth mentioning to your doctor.
