Piperine Powder (Black Pepper Extract)
Piperine, a potent compound derived from black pepper (Piper nigrum), is celebrated for its multifaceted health benefits and historical significance.
Known to enhance the bioavailability of various nutrients, Piperine has been an integral part of Ayurvedic medicine and traditional herbal formulas, and it's scientifically proven to amplify the effects of ingredients such as turmeric root by 20-fold (Shoba et al., 1998).
This remarkable compound may promote nutrient absorption by inhibiting certain enzymes and stimulating amino acid transporters in the intestinal lining (Atal et al., 1985; Bhardwaj et al., 2002).
Furthermore, Piperine's ability to cross the blood-brain barrier allows it to potentially support brain health and positively influence mood (Mittal et al., 2012).
Whether as a supplement or a flavorful addition to daily meals, Piperine provides a nutritional enhancement, aligning with both ancient wisdom and modern scientific understanding (Prasad et al., 2015).
This product is 100% natural and minimally processed. Taste, smell, texture, and color may vary from batch to batch.
