Piper nigrum, commonly known as black pepper, is considered the “King of Spices” throughout the world due to its pungent principal compound, piperine. BioPerine® is a patented extract obtained from black pepper fruits which contains a minimum of 95% piperine and is used to enhance the bioavailability of nutrients.

BioPerine® is the only product sourced out of piperine to obtain a patented status for its ability to increase the bioavailability of nutritional compounds. BioPerine® has undergone numerous clinical studies in the U.S. to substantiate its safety and efficacy for nutritional use.

In general, BioPerine® was found to enhance absorption of nutrients by at least 30% through several processes, including modulating efflux mechanisms, modulating metabolizing enzymes, and thermogenesis.
