L-Deoxyalliin (Cat No.: R040655)is a sulfur-containing compound found in garlic (Allium sativum), similar to alliin but lacking the hydroxyl group. It is a precursor to allicin, the active compound responsible for garlic’s characteristic odor and many of its health benefits. L-Deoxyalliin has been studied for its potential anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and antimicrobial properties. It may also contribute to garlic’s cardiovascular benefits, such as improving blood circulation and reducing blood pressure. Ongoing research explores its full therapeutic potential in disease prevention and treatment.
