Black pepper extract 95% Piperine by Comext
SKU: 112215-CSCOMEXT-12292
Product Highlights
Product Overview
- Enhanced Nutrient Bioavailability (Most Well-Known Use)
- Function: Piperine is renowned for its ability to significantly increase the absorption and bioavailability of various nutrients and drugs. It does this by inhibiting certain digestive enzymes that would normally break down these compounds and by stimulating amino acid transporters in the intestinal lining.
- Uses:
- Curcumin Absorption: It is most famously combined with Turmeric (Curcumin). Studies show piperine can enhance curcumin absorption by up to 2000%, dramatically increasing the effectiveness of turmeric supplements.
- Other Nutrients: It also improves the bioavailability of vitamins (like Vitamin C, Vitamin B6, Beta-Carotene, and Selenium), minerals, and other plant-based compounds (like resveratrol) from supplements and food.
- Powerful Antioxidant Support
- Function: Piperine exhibits strong antioxidant properties, helping to neutralize harmful free radicals that cause oxidative stress.
- Uses: Supporting the body's natural defense against oxidative damage.
- Digestive Health and Enzyme Stimulation
- Function: Contrary to its enzyme-inhibiting role in the gut for bioavailability, piperine has been shown to stimulate digestive enzymes in the pancreas. This aids the body in efficiently breaking down food and absorbing nutrients.
- Uses: Traditionally used to promote healthy digestion, reduce gas and bloating, and alleviate occasional constipation.
- Cognitive and Neurological Support
- Function: Piperine may support brain health by increasing the bioavailability of nutrients crucial for cognitive function and by influencing neurotransmitter activity. It has shown potential in inhibiting enzymes that break down dopamine and serotonin.
- Uses: Studied for its potential role in supporting memory, cognitive function, and mood balance.
- Metabolic and Weight Management Aid
- Function: Research suggests piperine may interfere with the formation of new fat cells (adipogenesis) and support a healthy metabolic rate. It may also enhance thermogenesis (the body's process of burning calories to produce heat).
- Uses: Often included in weight management supplement formulas to support metabolism and fat breakdown.
