BioPerine® Capsules Benefits

Black Pepper fruit (Piper nigrum), also known as piperine, has been standardized by Sabinsa Co. into their formula BioPerine® which contains a minimum of 95% extracted piperine (1)

BioPerine® has undergone clinical studies and enhances absorption of nutrients by approximately 30% (2).  Piperine affects the metabolism of various medications and supplements via intestinal absorption and by inhibiting detoxification enzymes in phase II and the glucuronidation process of substances in the liver. Piperine also slows the intestinal transit rate and allows the intestines to breakdown substances more slowly, so they stay in the body for longer periods of time to aid absorption (4).

BioPerine® can aid the absorption of herbal extracts (such as Curcuma longa, Boswellia serrata, Withania somnifera, Gingko Biloba and capsicum annum), fat-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamin A, Vitamin D, Vitamin E, Vitamin K), water-soluble vitamins (such as Vitamin B2, Vitamin B1, Vitamin B6, Niacinamide, Vitamin B12, Vitamin C Folic acid), antioxidants (such as Vitamin C, Vitamin A, Vitamin E, beta-carotene, alpha-carotene, beta-cryptoxanthin, lycopene, pine bark bioflavonoids, lutein/zeaxanthin, zinc, germanium, selenium), amino acids (such as, isoleucine, leucine, lysine, threonine, tryptophan, valine, phenylalanine, methionine), and minerals (such as iron, calcium, zinc, selenium, vanadium, chromium, iodine, manganese, potassium, magnesium, copper) (4).
