A New Generation of Botanical Garlic Extraction
1:3 Extract | No Alcohol | 50ml Amber Dropper 

Not all garlic extracts are created equal.

Most conventional garlic extracts simply soak crushed garlic in alcohol or glycerine before bottling. LAFEGE (Lactic Acid Fermented Elephant Garlic Extract) follows a completely different philosophy.

LAFEGE is a concentrated, alcohol-free elephant garlic extract produced through controlled lactic acid fermentation. The process is designed around the stable, water-soluble organosulfur compound S-allyl-L-cysteine (SAC) and the broader polar chemistry naturally present in elephant garlic corms.

Unlike conventional aged garlic approaches focused primarily on short-lived allicin chemistry, LAFEGE uses lactic acid fermentation to transform garlic chemistry toward the more stable SAC fraction.

Not another garlic tincture — this is fermented garlic chemistry.

Fresh elephant garlic is mechanically disrupted and subjected to controlled lactic acid fermentation using LAB-X. Published research on fermented garlic has demonstrated that LAB fermentation can substantially increase SAC, with the extent depending on the garlic material, bacterial strain and fermentation conditions.

SAC is particularly interesting because, unlike the highly reactive allicin produced immediately after crushing garlic, it is water-soluble and comparatively stable. It is one of the characteristic organosulfur compounds associated with aged and processed garlic preparations and is extensively studied for antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, cardiovascular and neuroprotective activity.

Key Features

• Lactic acid fermented — controlled LAB transformation rather than simple ageing.
• Potency – Strong 1:3 extract, garlic to LAB water.
• SAC-focused chemistry — developed around stable, water-soluble S-allyl-L-cysteine.
• Alcohol-free — aqueous botanical extraction with vegetable glycerine.
• Naturally acidic and stable — fermentation creates an acidic, microbiologically hostile environment.
• Preserved for storage — the fermented extract is pasteurized before glycerite formulation.
• 70% vegetable glycerine — provides additional protection and a convenient finished preparation.

Advantages

LAFEGE combines biological transformation with physical and chemical preservation:

Fermentation creates the chemistry → pasteurization stops the biology → glycerine protects the finished extract.

The result is a concentrated elephant-garlic preparation designed to retain the stable, water-soluble chemistry produced and recovered through the fermentation process.
