What is S-Allyl-L-Cysteine (SAC)?

S-Allyl-L-Cysteine (SAC) is a water-soluble, sulfur-containing amino acid found in aged garlic extract. It is studied for antioxidant and potential cardiometabolic and neuroprotective effects.

What are the main benefits of S-Allyl-L-Cysteine?

SAC is best known for antioxidant activity and potential support for cardiovascular health. It is also studied for possible neuroprotective effects and support of glucose metabolism, though human evidence varies by outcome.

What is a typical dosage range for S-Allyl-L-Cysteine?

Common supplemental amounts are often in the range of 200–600 mg per day. Product formulations vary, so follow the label and consider medical guidance if you have health conditions.

Is S-Allyl-L-Cysteine the same as aged garlic extract?

No. SAC is one bioactive compound within aged garlic extract, while aged garlic extract contains multiple sulfur compounds and other constituents.
