Product Description

Black Garlic Extract (S-Allyl Cysteine 0.1%-1%)

Product Overview

Black Garlic Extract is a premium bioactive ingredient derived from fresh garlic bulbs (Allium sativum) through a carefully controlled natural fermentation and aging process. Unlike raw garlic, our extract undergoes a 60-90 day fermentation at 60-70°C with 80-90% relative humidity, triggering the Maillard reaction that transforms white garlic cloves into deep black, soft-textured material with enhanced nutritional value .

This proprietary process converts unstable allicin into more stable, highly bioavailable sulfur compounds, most notably S-Allyl Cysteine (SAC)—the primary active constituent responsible for black garlic's health-promoting properties. Our extract is standardized to 0.1%-1% SAC (verified by HPLC), ensuring consistent potency and efficacy for dietary supplement and functional food applications .

Production Process

Our black garlic extract is manufactured using a state-of-the-art, GMP-certified process that preserves maximum bioactivity:

Raw Material Selection: Premium garlic bulbs sourced from certified organic farms, free from pesticides and heavy metals

Controlled Fermentation: Slow aging under precise temperature and humidity conditions for 60-90 days

Maillard Reaction: Natural browning process that develops characteristic black color, mild umami flavor, and concentrated antioxidants

Water Extraction: Gentle aqueous extraction to isolate water-soluble active compounds without harsh solvents

Concentration & Drying: Low-temperature vacuum concentration followed by spray drying to produce a fine, free-flowing powder

Standardization: HPLC verification to ensure consistent SAC content across all batches

Key Active Ingredients

The health benefits of black garlic extract are attributed to its unique profile of bioactive compounds:

S-Allyl Cysteine (SAC): The most studied active component, with approximately 98% oral bioavailability . Exhibits potent antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardioprotective effects

S-Allyl Mercaptocysteine (SAMC): Another sulfur-containing compound with immune-modulating properties

Polyphenols & Flavonoids: Concentrated during fermentation, providing broad-spectrum antioxidant activity

Melanoidins: Formed during the Maillard reaction, contributing to antioxidant capacity and anti-inflammatory effects

Organic Acids: Including pyruvic acid and citric acid, supporting metabolic health

Primary Health Benefits

Cardiovascular Health Support

Black garlic extract is widely recognized for its cardiovascular protective effects, supported by multiple clinical studies:

Helps maintain already healthy blood pressure levels by modulating nitric oxide production and ACE activity

Supports healthy lipid profiles by reducing total cholesterol, LDL cholesterol, and triglycerides while increasing HDL ("good") cholesterol

Inhibits LDL oxidation, a key step in the development of atherosclerosis

Improves endothelial function and vascular elasticity, supporting healthy blood circulation

Reduces markers of inflammation associated with cardiovascular disease

Antioxidant & Anti-Aging Properties

Exhibits 2-3 times higher total antioxidant activity than raw garlic

Scavenges harmful free radicals and reduces oxidative stress at the cellular level

Protects cells and tissues from oxidative damage associated with aging and chronic disease

Supports healthy cellular function and longevity

Immune System Modulation

Enhances innate and adaptive immune responses

Activates macrophages and other immune cells to support healthy immune function

Exhibits mild antimicrobial properties against certain bacteria and viruses

Reduces inflammation while supporting balanced immune regulation

Metabolic Health Support

Helps maintain already healthy blood glucose levels

Supports healthy liver function and detoxification processes

Promotes healthy energy metabolism
