Allicin: Premium Garlic Extract for Pharmaceutical & Nutraceutical Applications – Manufacturer & Exporter Guide
1. What is Allicin?
For manufacturers seeking nature’s most powerful antimicrobial compound, Allicin represents the gold standard in garlic-derived bioactives. This sulfur-containing compound, scientifically known as diallyl thiosulfinate, is the primary bioactive component responsible for garlic’s renowned health benefits. Unlike ordinary garlic powder or aged garlic extracts, our stabilized Allicin delivers consistent, potent biological activity, making it an essential ingredient for pharmaceutical formulations, nutraceuticals, and functional foods targeting immune support, cardiovascular health, and microbial protection.
