Black Pepper Extract (min. 95% Piperine)

Black pepper has a long and rich history of use, dating back thousands of years. The black pepper plant is native to South India. In the Middle Ages, black pepper was also used for a variety of health conditions, such as indigestion, colds, and coughs.*

Piperine is the active component of black pepper that is responsible for its distinctive flavor and aroma. It has been the subject of numerous scientific studies, including both in vitro (laboratory) and animal studies as well as human clinical trials.

Studies have investigated the potential health benefits of piperine, such as its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, its effects on digestive health, and its potential to improve the absorption of other nutrients.* Some studies have found that piperine may have a positive impact on various health markers, although more research is needed to fully understand its effects on human health.*

In addition, studies have also investigated the effects of piperine on the body, such as its potential to improve the bioavailability of other nutrients, such as curcumin (the active component of turmeric) and beta-carotene. These studies have found that piperine may increase the bioavailability of these and other nutrients, potentially enhancing their health benefits.*
