Piper nigrum (Black Pepper Extract)
Black pepper belongs to the Piperaceae family and is indigenous to India. The plant requires a long rainy season with hot temperatures. These plants continue to produce for as long as 40 years. Commonly used around the world in culinary dishes, it has been used medically to relieve flatulence and can stimulate gastric secretions to assist digestion.
Black pepper extract has been found to enhance the absorption of other nutrients. It does this by slowing down the rate at which they are processed by the liver and excreted, giving them more time to be absorbed and utilized by the body.

Ingredient Benefits
Aids in the absorption of other nutrients
Piperine enhances the bioavailability of nutraceuticals due to its inhibitory activity on enzymes that are in the liver and in the intestinal tract
Modifies supplement metabolism
Through the active component piperine, black pepper molecules attach to the supplement molecules to inhibit urinary excretion right away. This regulates how long the active ingredients are in the body.
The characteristic flavor of black pepper is due to the phytochemical called piperine. Piperine is a natural occurring chemical compound called an alkaloid. Alkaloids are well known to be cardio protective and anti-inflammatory.
