Garlic Extract

Synonyms: Allium sativum Extract, Garlic Powder Extract, Aged Garlic Extract, Alliin, Allicin, S-Allyl Cysteine, SAC

Garlic Extract is a concentrated botanical preparation obtained from the bulbs of Allium sativum, a plant cultivated for millennia as both a food and a medicine. Ancient Egyptian, Greek, and Chinese traditions used garlic for cardiovascular and antimicrobial support, and modern extraction captures its sulfur-rich chemistry in a stable, standardized form.

The key actives are organosulfur compounds: allicin, the transient thiosulfinate formed when alliin meets alliinase; S-allyl cysteine (SAC), the water-soluble marker of aged garlic; and a family of diallyl sulfides. Their volatility and reactivity mean extraction method matters—low-temperature processing preserves the thiosulfinate profile, while aged extraction favors SAC.

Suppliers typically standardize Garlic Extract to 1% allicin (HPLC), 1% SAC, or a defined total thiosulfinate content. It appears in dietary supplements aimed at cardiovascular and immune support, in functional foods, and in research on lipid metabolism and platelet function. The extract is available as a fine powder for encapsulation or tableting, with water-soluble and oil-soluble grades to match the intended formulation.

Function & Mechanism

• Cardiovascular support: Allicin and related sulfides help maintain healthy lipid levels and support normal platelet function.
• Antimicrobial activity: Thiosulfinates disrupt microbial sulfhydryl enzymes, contributing to broad-spectrum activity in vitro.
• Antioxidant defense: SAC and other organosulfur compounds scavenge free radicals and support endogenous antioxidant enzymes.
• Immune modulation: Garlic compounds influence macrophage and lymphocyte activity in preclinical models.
• Metabolic support: Preliminary evidence suggests a role in glucose metabolism and vascular function.

Source & Standardization

• Source: Bulbs of Allium sativum
• Extraction: Aqueous or hydroalcoholic extraction; aged garlic extract uses prolonged aqueous maceration
• Standardization: ≥1% allicin (HPLC) or ≥1% SAC (HPLC); total thiosulfinates by UV
• Forms: Fine powder, water-soluble or oil-soluble grades
• Applications: Dietary supplements, functional foods, research formulations
