Product description：
Garlic Extract is derived from high-quality, fresh garlic bulbs (Allium sativum). We source the garlic from reliable farms that adhere to strict agricultural practices, ensuring the purity and quality of the raw material. The extraction process begins with thoroughly cleaning the garlic bulbs to remove any dirt or impurities. Then, the bulbs are minced and subjected to a carefully controlled extraction method.
- Allicin: Allicin is one of the most important and well-known bioactive compounds in garlic extract. It is responsible for the characteristic pungent odor of garlic and possesses strong antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral properties. Allicin can effectively inhibit the growth of a wide range of pathogens, including bacteria like Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus, and fungi such as Candida albicans.
- Sulfur Compounds: Garlic extract contains various sulfur compounds, such as diallyl disulfide, diallyl trisulfide, and others. These sulfur compounds contribute to the overall health benefits of garlic, including antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular protective effects. They can help reduce oxidative stress in the body, lower cholesterol levels, and improve blood circulation.
- Flavonoids and Polyphenols: Although present in relatively smaller amounts compared to allicin and sulfur compounds, garlic extract also contains flavonoids and polyphenols. These compounds have antioxidant properties and can work in tandem with other bioactive components to enhance the overall health-promoting effects of the extract.
