Organic Black Garlic Capsules: Aged, Sweet and Odourless
If you enjoy the deep flavour of garlic in your food but not the powerful aroma that follows, you are not alone. Black garlic offers a compelling alternative: it is simply fresh garlic, aged until the cloves become dark and sweet, losing their strong, off-putting smell in the process [2] [3]. Yet when you look for it as a supplement, you will quickly notice a point of confusion. Some capsules contain a dried powder of the whole clove, whilst others feature a concentrated extract, leading to labels that declare seemingly impossible amounts like 18,750mg.
Choosing a supplement can often feel overwhelming. This guide explains exactly what 18,750mg means, how a 25:1 extract works and which of our black garlic capsules fits your routine.

Which black garlic supplement is right for you: extract, organic powder or garlic oil?
All three of our garlic pouches say odourless on the front, so the smell won’t decide it for you. What will is what’s inside the capsule: a concentrated extract, the whole ground clove, or an oil.
Aged black garlic extract: one capsule, six months to a pouch
Want a no-fuss routine? Our Aged Black Garlic 18,750mg capsules are one a day with water, and a pouch of 180 lasts six months.
Each capsule holds 750mg of a 25:1 extract, which the label expresses as 18,750mg of black garlic. At £9.99 that’s about 6p a day, the lowest daily price of our three garlic pouches.
Organic black garlic powder: the whole clove, certified
Prefer your supplements as close to the original food as possible? The Organic Fermented Black Garlic Powder 1200mg capsules are the clove itself, aged, dried and ground.
Two capsules give 1,200mg, and there’s no ratio on the label because nothing was concentrated. This pouch carries the green EU organic leaf with the code SK-BIO-003 and sits in our organic range. A pouch lasts 30 days and costs £12.99, about 43p a day.

Garlic oil softgels: garlic in an oil
Just to be clear, this one isn’t black garlic: our Odourless Garlic Oil 45,000mg softgels are made from garlic oil, not from aged cloves, and sit in our oils range. It’s three softgels a day, 60 days for £8.99, about 15p a day.
The softgel shell is bovine gelatin, while both black garlic capsules use a plant-derived hypromellose shell and belong to our vegan range.
Both capsules sit in our Black Garlic range, and all three pouches are among our herbal supplements; the softgels have their own label walk-through in our garlic oil guide.
Black garlic extract on the label: what 18,750mg and 25:1 mean
How can nearly nineteen grams of black garlic fit into one capsule? It can’t. That number is the black garlic the extract inside was made from, and the panel says so: Aged Black Garlic (from 25:1 extract), twenty-five parts of black garlic concentrated into one part of extract.
18,750mg of black garlic ÷ 25 = 750mg of extract in the capsule · 1% of 750mg = 7.5mg of polyphenols · 180 capsules at one a day = six months · £9.99 ÷ 180 = about 6p a day. To compare brands, divide the big number by the ratio. No ratio on the label means the figure is dried clove, not extract.
Aged Black Garlic 18,750mg, nutrition panel [4]
So the big number describes the cloves that went in, and the 750mg describes what’s inside the capsule. That’s how concentrated extracts are usually labelled. What matters is that the ratio is printed, and ours is, on the front, on the panel and in the ingredients list.
The second line of the panel, 7.5mg polyphenols, can be checked the same way. The ingredients list says the extract contains 1% polyphenols, and 1% of 750mg is 7.5mg.
Black garlic capsules vs black garlic powder vs garlic oil: how they compare
Extract, powder or oil? The table puts our three pouches side by side: what the label declares, and who each one suits. Prices are correct at the time of writing.
1 capsule · 18,750mg aged black garlic from a 25:1 extract · 750mg of extract in the capsule · 7.5mg polyphenols · hypromellose shell
Choose if you want one odourless capsule a day with the ratio and the polyphenol figure both printed · vegan · 180 days · £9.99: about 6p a day
2 capsules · 1,200mg organic fermented black garlic powder · 600mg in each capsule · no ratio, because nothing was concentrated · hypromellose shell
Choose if you want certified organic whole-clove black garlic and not an extract · vegan · 30 days · £12.99: about 43p a day
3 softgels · 45,000mg garlic from a 500:1 oil extract · 90mg of garlic oil in the serving · in MCT oil · bovine gelatin shell
Choose if you want garlic as an oil, three softgels a day · 60 days · £8.99: about 15p a day
Looking at any other black garlic supplement? The key is to find the ratio: divide the big number by it to see what’s in the capsule, then check the shell and the price per day. A capsule with 600mg of black garlic powder and no ratio holds 600mg of dried clove, while 750mg of a 25:1 extract stands for 18,750mg of it.
What is black garlic, and why doesn’t it smell?
Does black garlic grow on a special kind of plant? It’s much simpler than that: ordinary fresh garlic, Allium sativum, kept at a controlled 60 to 90°C and 80 to 90% humidity until it changes [2]. Nothing is added along the way, no treatment and no additives, and the process takes over 10 days [3].
What comes out barely resembles what went in: the cloves turn dark, sweet and jelly-like [2]. The colour comes from the Maillard reaction [3], the same kind of browning you see on a slice of toast.
Aged black garlic is fresh garlic after a long, controlled ageing process
The smell goes because ageing reduces allicin, the compound behind fresh garlic’s bite [2]. Black garlic has long been eaten in South Korea, Japan and Thailand, and chefs now use it to flavour chicken, fish, soup and risotto [2].
Aged garlic, aged garlic extract and black garlic: reading the names
The shelf uses these names loosely, so read what each label says was aged, and how. Ours is specific: the front prints odourless aged black garlic, and the ingredients list reads aged fermented black garlic 25:1 extract [4].
An aged garlic supplement from another brand may describe a different preparation, so compare like with like: the word black, the extract ratio, and any compound the panel declares. Ours declares 7.5mg of polyphenols, printed on the front of the pouch and on the panel.
How to take black garlic capsules
Taking them is simple: the label says one capsule daily with water, and it names no time of day. Pick a moment you won’t forget, and keep the pouch in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight and out of reach of young children.
All the garlic, none of the peeling
Our Aged Black Garlic capsules are a simple way to get black garlic into your routine: one a day with water, odourless, vegan, a printed 25:1 ratio, and six months to a pouch at about 6p a day.

Black garlic capsules FAQs
1. What are the benefits of black garlic capsules?
UK rules authorise no health claim for black garlic, so we list none [1]. What a capsule does offer is practical: garlic in your day without the smell or the peeling, with its ratio printed on the label.
2. Do black garlic capsules make your breath smell?
Our pouch is labelled odourless, and aged black garlic has no strong odour because ageing reduces its allicin [2][3].
3. How much black garlic extract is in one capsule?
750mg. The label’s 18,750mg is the black garlic the extract was made from, at a ratio of 25:1, and the 7.5mg of polyphenols is 1% of that 750mg.
4. Is aged garlic the same as aged black garlic and fermented black garlic?
On our labels, yes: aged and fermented describe the same warm, humid ageing of fresh garlic, which is what turns it black [2]. The difference between our two pouches is the form, a concentrated extract in one and whole-clove organic powder in the other.
5. Are your black garlic capsules vegan?
Yes, both of them. The shell is hypromellose, which is plant-derived, and the only other ingredient besides the garlic is organic brown rice flour. The garlic oil softgels are the exception, with a bovine gelatin shell.
6. Can I take black garlic capsules every day?
Yes. The label is written for one capsule every day with water, and a pouch of 180 covers six months of that routine. The label also says they are not intended for children, or pregnant or breastfeeding women, and asks you to consult a doctor before use if you have a medical condition or take any medication [4].
If you want the simplest routine, the Aged Black Garlic 18,750mg capsules are one a day for about 6p. If certified organic matters more to you, choose the organic powder capsules. Either way, you now know exactly what you’re choosing, and how to read the numbers on any black garlic label.
