Garlic Extract

• Antimicrobial activity: Exhibits broad-spectrum activity against Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria, fungi, and viruses via thiol-modification mechanisms.

• Cardiovascular support: Modulates lipid metabolism, platelet aggregation, and endothelial function.

• Antioxidant activity: Directly scavenges reactive oxygen species (ROS) and induces endogenous antioxidant enzymes.

• Anti-inflammatory activity: Suppresses NF-κB activation and pro-inflammatory cytokine production.

• Chemical reactivity: Rapidly reacts with thiol groups; thermolabile and unstable in alkaline environments.

Source & Availability

• Pure allicin (≥98.0%): Colorless to pale yellow oil; highly unstable; requires low-temperature storage and inert atmosphere.

• Stabilized garlic extract powder: Standardized to 1.0% – 5.0% allicin content; enhanced stability through microencapsulation or complexation with cyclodextrins.

• Garlic oil macerate: Diluted form for liquid formulations.

Supply
