Description
Garlic Extract (Allium sativum) Powder – 2% Allicin
Garlic Extract Powder (Allium sativum) provides a concentrated form of garlic, standardized to contain 2% allicin. People have valued garlic for thousands of years as both a culinary ingredient and a traditional herbal remedy. Native to Central Asia, garlic has a long history of use in traditional health practices across many cultures.
Garlic belongs to the Allium family, alongside onions, leeks and shallots. Its distinctive aroma and flavour come from naturally occurring sulphur compounds. When you crush or chop fresh garlic, it forms allicin, one of its best-known sulphur compounds.
Traditionally, people have used garlic as part of a healthy diet and in herbal preparations. It can support general health and wellbeing, while many people also use garlic preparations to support the body’s natural immune defences and overall vitality.
Our concentrated extract offers a consistent level of allicin. This makes it different from ordinary dried garlic powder, which does not provide the same specified concentration. Standardization also gives each batch a reliable level of the key compound.
