Raw Garlic. Garlic Powder. Aged Garlic Extract. Fermented Black Garlic. They Are Four Completely Different Things.

The word "garlic supplement" covers a range as wide as "coffee" — from a vending machine cup to a single-origin pour-over. Same source. Completely different result. Here's the honest ladder. Raw garlic capsules: allicin-based, unstable, destroyed by stomach acid, causes garlic breath, works through one pathway at reduced absorption. Most people's first garlic supplement. Garlic powder capsules: same compound profile as raw garlic, often lower potency. Easier to manufacture. Not a meaningful upgrade. Aged garlic extract: a real step forward. Aging converts some allicin to SAC — the stable, absorbable compound. Mostly odourless. Works through one to two pathways. Better absorbed. The supplement most well-informed people graduate to. Fermented black garlic: ninety days of Maillard fermentation goes further than aging. SAC concentrates fully. Melanoidins and polyphenols form — antioxidant compounds that don't exist in aged garlic. Ten times the antioxidant activity. Five blood pressure pathways. Genuinely odourless because there's no allicin left to cause a smell. EverWell Black adds 200mg CoQ10 Ubiquinol to this — the cellular energy pathway no garlic supplement alone can reach. Most people taking a supplement for their heart are on rung two. This is rung four. 90-day guarantee. Full comparison at the link below.
