Buy Black Garlic – Fermented Extracts with S-Allylcysteine
Black garlic is ordinary garlic (Allium sativum) that gains its dark colour, soft texture and mild, sweet-balsamic aroma through a controlled fermentation process lasting several weeks. This maturing process produces characteristic compounds such as S-allylcysteine along with numerous polyphenols. In this category you'll find fermented black garlic extracts from Scheunengut – standardised, vegan and lab-tested.
Origin & Production
The starting material is the whole garlic bulb, fermented under controlled warmth and humidity without additives. A concentrated extract is then obtained from the matured black garlic – typically at a ratio such as 25:1, which concentrates the plant compounds it contains.
Standardisation & Form
What matters is the standardised content: high-quality extracts transparently state their share of polyphenols (e.g. around 15%) and S-allylcysteine. Black garlic is mostly available as capsules or powder, sometimes combined with red yeast rice or pomegranate.
What to look for when buying
- Standardised content of polyphenols and S-allylcysteine
- Origin and gentle fermentation clearly declared
- Vegan, free from unnecessary additives
- Independently lab-tested quality

Häufige Fragen zu Black Garlic
What do people value black garlic for?
Black garlic is valued above all for the special compounds created during fermentation, chiefly S-allyl cysteine and numerous polyphenols. Unlike fresh garlic, it has a mild, sweet, balsamic aroma and is largely free of the typical garlic smell. It is traditionally used as a concentrated natural product as part of a daily diet.
How is black garlic made?
Black garlic is simply ordinary garlic (Allium sativum) that is fermented over several weeks under controlled heat and humidity, entirely without additives. This is what creates its dark colour, soft texture and characteristic compounds such as S-allyl cysteine. The matured garlic is then used to produce a concentrated extract.
What does a 25:1 extract ratio mean?
A ratio of 25:1 means that around 25 parts of black garlic go into producing one part of concentrated extract, concentrating the valuable plant compounds into a compact form. Just as important for quality is a standardised S-allyl cysteine content, which high-quality extracts state transparently.
Who is black garlic suitable for?
Black garlic is a good choice for anyone who wants the benefits of garlic without its intense taste and smell. As a capsule, it is especially practical for everyday use. Our fermented black garlic extracts are vegan, lab-tested and filled in Germany.
