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.
