Garlic

What is Garlic extract, and what species does it come from?

Garlic extract from Bio-Botanica is a botanical extract made from Allium sativum, a plant in the Amaryllidaceae family, native to Central Asia. The extract is made from the bulb. Bio-Botanica has manufactured botanical extracts at its cGMP facility in Hauppauge, New York since 1972.

What part of Garlic does Bio-Botanica extract?

Bio-Botanica extracts the bulb of Garlic (Allium sativum). The plant part is stated on every specification sheet, because part-versus-species accuracy matters for identity testing and for label copy in the finished product.

What extract forms of Garlic are available?

Garlic (Allium sativum) is available from Bio-Botanica as cosmetic glycerin extract, oil infusion, and Zea-Botanicals®. Each form carries its own Part ID and its own specification. Which one suits you depends on the carrier, the solids content and the process your finished product runs through.

Where does Garlic originate?

Garlic (Allium sativum) is native to Central Asia. Bio-Botanica sources raw Garlic against identity and quality specifications, and every incoming lot is tested in our onsite laboratory before extraction begins.

Is Garlic extract available alcohol-free?

Yes. Every Garlic extract Bio-Botanica currently offers is alcohol-free — cosmetic glycerin extract, oil infusion, and Zea-Botanicals®. These suit formulations where ethanol is restricted by label, market or process.

Is Garlic extract standardized to a specific compound?

Bio-Botanica’s Garlic (Allium sativum) extracts are full-spectrum rather than standardized to a single marker compound. The Bio-Chelated process is designed to carry the botanical’s naturally occurring constituents through in their native ratios. If your specification calls for a standardized Garlic material, our team can discuss a custom extraction.

What applications is Garlic extract suited for?

The right format depends on the application: liquid and glycerin-carried forms suit water-based systems, powdered and solid extracts suit dry blends and capsules, and oil infusions suit anhydrous and oil-phase work. Positioning is structure/function only.
