Difference Between Black Garlic Extracts (S-Ally-L-Cysteine vs Polysaccharides)

You are asking about the difference between two types of Black Garlic Extract, one standardized for S-Ally-L-Cysteine (SAC) and another for Polysaccharides, and which is more suitable for encapsulation.

Here's a breakdown based on the product information:

• InflamCare™ Black Garlic Extract (S-Ally-L-Cysteine 0.1%): This extract is standardized to contain a minimum of 0.1% S-Allyl-L-Cysteine (SAC). SAC is known for its antioxidant properties, potential benefits for cardiovascular health (lowering blood pressure, reducing heart disease risk), and potential anti-cancer properties.
• WeightCare™ Black Garlic Extract: This extract is standardized to contain more than 10% Polysaccharides. It is highlighted for its ability to reduce sugar absorption (anti alpha glucosidase activity), which can help with weight management and potentially diabetes. Polysaccharides from black garlic also offer antioxidant, immune system support, anti-inflammatory, and cardiovascular benefits.

Which is better for encapsulation?

Both extracts are suitable for encapsulation. The choice depends entirely on the primary health benefit you want your final product to offer:

• If the focus is on antioxidant effects, general cardiovascular support, or potential anti-cancer benefits, the InflamCare™ Black Garlic Extract (S-Ally-L-Cysteine 0.1%) might be more appropriate due to its standardization for SAC.
• If the focus is on weight management, blood sugar control (by reducing sugar absorption), or broader immune/anti-inflammatory support, the WeightCare™ Black Garlic Extract (standardized for Polysaccharides) would be a better fit.

Recommended Dosage:

The product descriptions do not specify a recommended dosage in milligrams or grams for encapsulation. The appropriate dosage would depend on the desired health effect, the concentration of the active compounds in the final capsule, and potentially regulatory guidelines. It is advisable to consult typical dosages used in black garlic extract supplements or consult with a formulation expert or the supplier for specific guidance based on your target concentration and capsule size.
