Black Garlic Extract (Powder)
Black Garlic Extract (Powder) is a premium, concentrated dietary ingredient derived from carefully aged and fermented raw garlic (Allium sativum L.). Through a controlled, multi-week process of heat and humidity, the cloves undergo a Maillard reaction, transforming into black garlic—a product renowned for its sweet, savory flavor and enhanced bioactive profile. Our extract is then meticulously processed into a fine, free-flowing powder, offering a potent and convenient source of black garlic's unique compounds, including stabilized S-allyl cysteine (SAC), antioxidants, and other organosulfur derivatives. This ingredient is ideal for formulators seeking to incorporate the researched benefits of aged garlic into nutraceuticals, functional foods, and beverages without the strong odor or taste of raw garlic.
Key Benefits
- Potent Antioxidant Support: Rich in antioxidant compounds formed during the aging process, helping to combat oxidative stress and support cellular health.
- Enhanced Bioavailability: Contains high levels of stable, bioavailable S-allyl cysteine (SAC), a key beneficial compound more readily absorbed than the allicin found in fresh garlic.
- Cardiovascular Wellness: Supports healthy circulation and cardiovascular function by promoting balanced cholesterol levels and healthy blood pressure already within normal ranges.
- Immune System Modulation: Provides nutrients that help support and modulate the body's natural immune defenses.
- Convenient & Odorless: Offers a concentrated, easy-to-use powder form that is virtually odorless, simplifying integration into various product applications without affecting flavor profiles.
