Greenherb supplies a premium, scientifically-validated Garlic Extract, derived from fresh, high-quality garlic bulbs (Allium sativum L.), one of the most extensively researched and widely used medicinal plants in human history. Our garlic extract is carefully processed to preserve its unique sulfur-containing compounds—primarily allicin and its various transformation products—while offering multiple formats including aged garlic extract, garlic extract 1000mg potency options, and garlic powder for diverse application needs. This versatile, standardized ingredient delivers clinically-supported benefits for cardiovascular wellness, immune health, antioxidant protection, and overall vitality, offering a time-honored botanical with over 5,000 years of documented medicinal use and thousands of modern scientific studies.
We support global B2B customers with consistent quality, scalable supply (including bulk garlic powder options), and comprehensive analytical documentation, enabling the development of evidence-based products that leverage this powerful Allium vegetable's remarkable therapeutic versatility.
Multiple Potent Bioactive Forms Available – We offer a range of garlic extract formats to suit different formulation needs: aged garlic extract (produced through extended aging to convert harsh allicin into gentler, more bioavailable compounds like S-allyl cysteine), garlic extract 1000mg potency options for high-strength supplements, and garlic powder for culinary and functional food applications. Each format preserves the specific bioactive profile best suited to its intended use .
Clinically-Validated Cardiovascular Benefits – Hundreds of human clinical trials have demonstrated that garlic extract supplementation significantly supports healthy blood pressure already within normal range, improves lipid profiles (reducing LDL and total cholesterol while supporting HDL), and promotes healthy arterial function through multiple mechanisms involving hydrogen sulfide production and platelet modulation .
Powerful Immune System Support – Garlic's immune-enhancing properties are well-documented, with studies showing that regular garlic extract consumption reduces the incidence and severity of common colds and upper respiratory infections. The allicin-derived compounds help activate immune cells including macrophages, natural killer (NK) cells, and lymphocytes .
Potent Antioxidant Protection – The sulfur compounds in garlic extract, particularly those found in aged garlic extract, provide exceptional free radical scavenging activity, protecting cells throughout the body from oxidative stress. Aged garlic extract has been shown to increase cellular antioxidant enzymes such as glutathione and superoxide dismutase .
Gentle Aged Garlic Option for Sensitive Individuals – Our aged garlic supplement format undergoes a controlled aging process (typically 10-20 months) that converts the pungent, irritating allicin into stable, odorless, and gentle compounds like S-allyl cysteine (SAC). This aged garlic extract is significantly better tolerated by individuals who experience digestive discomfort or "garlic breath" from fresh garlic or standard garlic powder .
Rich in Unique Bioactive Sulfur Compounds – Depending on the format, our garlic extract provides different complementary profiles: fresh garlic extract is rich in allicin (formed when alliin meets alliinase upon crushing), while aged garlic extract contains SAC, S-allyl mercaptocysteine (SAMC), and other water-soluble sulfur compounds with superior bioavailability and gentler action .
Sustainably Sourced & Available in Bulk – Our garlic is cultivated in optimal growing regions (China, Spain, and California) known for producing high-allicin garlic varieties. We offer garlic powder in bulk quantities for food manufacturers, as well as concentrated extracts for supplement producers, with full supply chain transparency .

Greenherb's Garlic Extract harnesses the remarkable therapeutic power of a plant that has been treasured for over five millennia—from ancient Egyptian tombs (where garlic was placed to accompany pharaohs into the afterlife) to Greek Olympic athletes (who consumed garlic for endurance) to modern clinical medicine . The secret to garlic's potency lies in its complex sulfur chemistry: when the garlic bulb is crushed or processed, the precursor alliin comes into contact with the enzyme alliinase, producing allicin—the compound responsible for garlic's characteristic pungent aroma and much of its biological activity . However, allicin is highly unstable and can be irritating to the digestive tract. This is why we offer multiple garlic extract formats: our garlic powder preserves the natural allicin potential for culinary and traditional applications; our aged garlic extract transforms the harsh allicin into stable, gentle, and highly bioavailable compounds like S-allyl cysteine (SAC) that retain the cardiovascular and immune benefits without the pungent odor or digestive side effects; and our garlic extract 1000mg potency options provide concentrated, standardized dosing for targeted supplementation . Whether formulators seek a robust allicin-potential ingredient or a gentle, odor-controlled aged garlic supplement, we provide the flexibility and quality needed for successful product development.

Our production methods vary by format to optimize each product's unique bioactive profile:
For Garlic Powder (Bulk Garlic Powder & Culinary Grade):
Sourcing & Selection: Premium garlic bulbs are sourced from high-quality growing regions, selected for high alliin content.
Peeling & Slicing: Bulbs are mechanically peeled and cloves are sliced to increase surface area.
Low-Temperature Drying: Sliced garlic is gently dried at controlled low temperatures (below 50°C) to preserve alliinase enzyme activity and alliin content .
Milling & Sieving: Dried garlic pieces are milled into a fine powder and sieved to achieve uniform particle size.
Quality Verification: Each batch is tested for alliin content, moisture, microbial safety, and heavy metals.
For Aged Garlic Extract:
Fresh Garlic Preparation: Fresh garlic cloves are cleaned, crushed, and processed into a slurry.
Controlled Aging (10-20 months): The garlic slurry undergoes extended aging at controlled temperature and pH conditions. This slow process naturally converts allicin into stable, water-soluble compounds including S-allyl cysteine (SAC) and S-allyl mercaptocysteine (SAMC) .
Extraction & Filtration: The aged material is extracted with water or dilute ethanol, then filtered to remove insoluble fiber.
Concentration & Drying: The extract is concentrated under vacuum and spray-dried into a fine, odor-controlled powder.
Standardization: The aged garlic extract powder is standardized to guaranteed SAC content (typically 0.1-0.5%) .
For Garlic Extract 1000mg Potency Options:
Follows either the garlic powder or aged garlic extract process, with final concentration adjusted to deliver 1000mg equivalent of raw garlic per serving.
Comprehensive Quality Verification for All Formats: Each batch undergoes rigorous HPLC analysis for marker compounds, along with testing for heavy metals, microbial safety, and residual solvents.
Garlic Extract is valued for its scientifically-documented, multi-system health benefits, with specific properties varying by format:
Supports Cardiovascular Health & Healthy Blood Pressure*: Meta-analyses of over 50 clinical trials confirm that garlic extract supplementation significantly reduces systolic and diastolic blood pressure in individuals with elevated levels. Aged garlic extract, in particular, has been shown to reduce arterial stiffness, improve endothelial function, and slow the progression of coronary artery calcium . The recommended dosage for cardiovascular benefits is often equivalent to garlic extract 1000mg daily or more .
Supports Healthy Cholesterol & Lipid Profile*: Multiple studies demonstrate that garlic extract reduces total cholesterol and LDL ("bad") cholesterol by approximately 10-15% while helping maintain HDL ("good") cholesterol levels, effects attributed to the inhibition of cholesterol synthesis enzymes .
Provides Potent Antioxidant Protection*: Aged garlic extract significantly increases cellular antioxidant capacity by upregulating glutathione and superoxide dismutase enzymes. This protection helps reduce oxidative stress markers and supports overall cellular health .
Supports Immune System Function*: Regular consumption of garlic extract has been shown to reduce the incidence and duration of common colds by over 60% in one landmark study. The immune effects are mediated through enhanced natural killer cell activity and modulation of cytokine production .
Promotes Healthy Inflammatory Balance*: The sulfur compounds in garlic extract help modulate pro-inflammatory mediators, supporting the body's natural ability to manage inflammation .
Gentle, Odor-Controlled Options Available: Unlike fresh garlic or standard garlic powder, our aged garlic extract is virtually odorless and non-pungent, making it ideal for consumers who dislike garlic breath or experience digestive sensitivity to raw garlic .
