All the heart-health benefits of garlic – without the garlic breath
Garlic has been valued for heart health for thousands of years - but raw garlic comes with downsides most of us would rather avoid: the smell, the taste, and the digestive discomfort. Black Garlic+ gives you the benefits without the drawbacks.
Through a natural ageing process, ordinary garlic is transformed into odourless black garlic – richer in the antioxidant compounds that support heart health, and completely odour-free. Each capsule delivers 10 times the S-allylcysteine of fresh garlic.
What is S-allylcysteine - and why does it matter?
What is black garlic?
If you've researched black garlic, you have probably come across S-allylcysteine – often shortened to SAC. It’s the single most important compound in aged black garlic, and the marker scientists use to measure quality.
SAC is a stable, water-soluble sulphur compound that forms during the ageing process. Raw garlic contains barely any of it – it is the slow transformation of ageing that creates it, which is why aged black garlic is so different from the garlic in your kitchen.
Why it matters
S-allylcysteine (SAC) is associated with the cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits that have made garlic one of the most studied foods in nutritional science.
Crucially, unlike the allicin in raw garlic – the compound responsible for garlic breath and stomach upset – SAC is odourless and gentle on the digestive system. It delivers the benefit without the downside.
The more S-allylcysteine a black garlic supplement contains, the more potent it is – which is why the concentration matters.
How Black Garlic+ delivers SAC
Black Garlic+ uses ABG10+® – a patented aged black garlic extract standardised to guarantee 0.1% S-allylcysteine (SAC) by HPLC in every single capsule. The '10+' reflects its concentration: 10 times the S-allylcysteine and antioxidant polyphenol content of fresh garlic.
Standardisation matters because natural ingredients vary – by standardising to a guaranteed SAC level, ABG10+® ensures you get the same potent, consistent dose every day, rather than the unpredictable content of unstandardised black garlic products.
Is Black Garlic+ right for you?
Black Garlic+ is for anyone who wants to support their heart health naturally – particularly if:
- You want to maintain healthy cholesterol levels as part of a balanced lifestyle
- You'd like the support of garlic for heart health but want to avoid the smell, taste or garlic breath
- You want a concentrated, standardised source of S-allylcysteine – not unpredictable raw garlic
- You are looking for daily antioxidant support with a specific cardiovascular focus
- You follow a vegan or vegetarian diet and want a plant-based, odourless capsule
Black Garlic+ is a food supplement and should be taken as part of a varied, balanced diet and healthy lifestyle. If you are taking medication for cholesterol or heart health, please consult your doctor before use.
"Aged garlic transforms into something remarkable – increased levels of S-allylcysteine without the smell and harshness, with clinically studied benefits for cardiovascular health."
Ingredient Highlights
ABG10+® is a patented aged black garlic extract made from premium Spanish garlic through a controlled ageing process. This natural transformation – carried out under carefully managed heat and humidity – mellows the harsh compounds of raw garlic and dramatically increases its antioxidant content.
The result is an extract with 10 times the S-allylcysteine and polyphenol content of fresh garlic, standardised to guarantee 0.1% S-allylcysteine by HPLC. It is completely odourless and flavourless, delivering the heart-health benefits of garlic without any of the smell, taste or digestive discomfort.
S-allylcysteine (SAC) is the key active compound in aged black garlic, and Black Garlic+ delivers 0.25mg per capsule. Alongside the natural polyphenols also concentrated during ageing, SAC provides antioxidant support that helps protect your cells against free radicals and oxidative stress – factors closely linked to long-term cardiovascular health. These are the compounds behind the scientific interest in aged black garlic for maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and supporting a healthy heart.
Black Garlic+ includes vitamin B1 (thiamine) and vitamin B2 (riboflavin), each at 15% of the recommended daily intake. Riboflavin (B2) contributes to the protection of cells from oxidative stress - complementing the antioxidant action of the S-allylcysteine and polyphenols in the aged black garlic extract. Thiamine (B1) contributes to the normal function of the heart, making it a purposeful addition to a heart-health formulation.

Excellent product which has now quite dramatically reduced my blood pressure
I have been taking this for 3 months or more primarily to see if it would reduce my blood pressure levels. I am delighted to say that it has reduced both my diastolic and systolic levels by around 10%, which is amazing. Excellent product which has now quite dramatically reduced my blood pressure levels and would recommend to others to give it a try.

My cholesterol reading has come down
Since taking Black Garlic my cholesterol reading has come down so I will continue with this supplement as I don’t want to take Statins which my doctor would like me to take. I’ve heard a report stating that Statins are ineffective at reducing cholesterol!

They are getting rid of our bloating (through Menopause).
I bought these Black Garlic tablets after speaking with my work colleague. She recommended them, so I got some. They are amazing. No after taste, easy to swallow and both of us feel body different, in other words we feel like they are getting rid of our bloating (through Menopause). Really pleased with them and definitely be ordering more :)
FAQs
What is S-allylcysteine (SAC) and why does it matter?
S-allylcysteine (SAC) is the key active compound in aged black garlic and the most studied marker of its quality. It is a water-soluble, stable sulphur compound that forms during the ageing process – raw garlic contains very little of it. SAC is associated with the cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits attributed to aged garlic, and unlike the allicin in raw garlic, it does not cause garlic breath or digestive discomfort. Black Garlic+ uses ABG10+® aged black garlic extract, standardised to 0.1% S-allylcysteine by HPLC – delivering 0.25mg of SAC per capsule, with 10 times the S-allylcysteine and polyphenol content of fresh garlic.
What is ABG10+®?
ABG10+® is a patented aged black garlic extract fermented from premium Spanish garlic (Allium sativum) and standardised to 0.1% S-allylcysteine by HPLC. The '10+' refers to its concentration – it contains 10 times more S-allylcysteine and polyphenol content than fresh garlic. ABG10+® is one of the most clinically researched aged black garlic ingredients available, produced through a controlled ageing process that develops the characteristic dark colour, mild flavour and high antioxidant content of black garlic.
How is black garlic different from raw garlic?
Black garlic is raw garlic that has been aged under controlled heat and humidity over several weeks. This natural process transforms it in several ways: the harsh, pungent compounds of raw garlic mellow into a milder, caramelised flavour; the colour darkens to a distinctive black; and crucially, the levels of S-allylcysteine and antioxidant polyphenols increase significantly. The result is an ingredient that delivers the cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits associated with garlic, but without the strong smell, taste, or the garlic breath and digestive discomfort that put many people off raw garlic supplements.
Does Black Garlic+ cause garlic breath or smell?
No. This is one of the key advantages of Black Garlic+. The ageing process that creates black garlic converts the odour-causing compounds found in raw garlic (primarily allicin) into stable, odourless compounds like S-allylcysteine. Black Garlic+ is flavourless and odour-free – you get the cardiovascular and antioxidant benefits of garlic without any garlic breath, aftertaste or 'garlic burps'.
What are the benefits of Black Garlic+?
Black Garlic+ is formulated to help maintain healthy cholesterol levels and support a healthy heart. Its high antioxidant content – including S-allylcysteine, polyphenols and vitamin B2 (riboflavin) – helps protect cells against free radicals and oxidative stress, which are key factors linked to cardiovascular health. Aged black garlic has been the subject of scientific studies for its role in supporting heart health and healthy cholesterol levels. Each capsule also provides thiamine (B1) and riboflavin (B2) at 15% NRV.
How long is the garlic in Black Garlic+ aged for?
The ABG10+® extract in Black Garlic+ is made from fresh garlic grown in La Mancha, Spain, using a proprietary ageing technique called ABG Cool-Tech that uses no organic solvents. The fermentation process takes between 30 and 90 days, during which the garlic develops its characteristic dark colour, mild flavour and high concentration of beneficial compounds. The resulting extract is then standardised to contain 0.1% S-allylcysteine – the main active compound in aged garlic – guaranteeing a consistent, concentrated dose in every capsule.
How and when should I take Black Garlic+?
Take one capsule per day, morning or evening, with or without food. Because the aged black garlic extract is odourless and gentle on the stomach, it can be taken at any time without the digestive discomfort sometimes associated with raw garlic. As with all supplements, consistency is key – take it daily as part of your routine for the best long-term benefit.
Is Black Garlic+ suitable for vegans?
Yes. Black Garlic+ is vegan and vegetarian. The capsule shell is Hydroxypropyl Methylcellulose (HPMC) – a plant-derived material. The formulation is also gluten-free and lactose-free. Please note the colour of the powder may vary naturally from beige to dark brown – this is a normal characteristic of the natural black garlic extract and does not affect quality.
What is the difference between Black Garlic+, Ateronon Heart+ and Blood Flow+?
All three support cardiovascular health but through different mechanisms. Black Garlic+ uses ABG10+® aged black garlic extract and focuses on maintaining healthy cholesterol levels and heart health through antioxidant action.
Ateronon Heart+ uses LactoLycopene™ and focuses on endothelial function (the health of blood vessel linings) – it is suitable for statin users. Blood Flow+ uses cocoa flavanols and focuses on circulation. Black Garlic+ is the most targeted option for those specifically focused on cholesterol maintenance. The three can be taken together as part of a comprehensive heart health routine.

When will I feel the benefits?
Antioxidant support begins
From the first capsule, the S-allylcysteine, polyphenols and vitamin B2 in Black Garlic+ begin providing daily antioxidant support – helping protect your cells against the free radicals and oxidative stress linked to cardiovascular health.
Because the aged black garlic extract is odourless and gentle, it fits easily into your daily routine with no garlic breath or digestive discomfort. Aged black garlic works gradually and consistently rather than producing an immediate noticeable effect – the benefit is in the daily accumulation.
When will I feel the benefits?
Building consistency
Heart health and cholesterol maintenance are long-term goals, and the value of Black Garlic+ builds with consistent daily use. By month two, you have established a steady daily intake of S-allylcysteine and antioxidant polyphenols at levels that would be impossible to achieve from diet alone - each capsule delivers 10 times the S allylcysteine of fresh garlic. The antioxidant support continues working quietly in the background, protecting against oxidative stress day after day.
When will I feel the benefits?
Long-term heart health support
By month three, Black Garlic+ is an established part of your cardiovascular support routine. The scientific studies behind aged black garlic relate to its long-term role in supporting heart health and healthy cholesterol levels – this is a supplement that rewards consistency over months, not days. Taken daily alongside a balanced diet and healthy lifestyle, Black Garlic+ provides a convenient, odourless way to maintain the antioxidant and heart-health benefits of garlic for the long term.
