Piperine 95% is an extract that comes from the fruits of the black pepper (Piper nigrum) plant. The extraction process concentrates the active compound, piperine. Piperine is a bioactive alkaloid that is responsible for black pepper’s characteristic piquancy and flavor. It’s also what gives black pepper extract its unique beneficial properties. Ayurvedic cultures use black pepper for several purposes, including as a digestive aid, circulation support, and metabolism stimulant. Black pepper extract is also a potent antioxidant with anti-inflammatory properties.
Piperine exhibits antioxidant activity, helping neutralize free radicals and reducing markers of free radical damage in the body. Antioxidants are crucial to protect cells from the oxidative stress wrought by an excess of free radicals. Without antioxidants to keep them in check, free radicals can lead to or worsen chronic health issues and expedite the aging process.
Piperine extracted from black pepper has anti-inflammatory properties. Long-term oxidative stress promotes inflammation, and piperine may help fight this by protecting cells against free radicals. Animal studies also show that piperine reduces inflammatory biomarkers and joint swelling. Piperine also interacts with the Transient Receptor Potential Vanilloid 1 (TRPV1) receptor that participates in the sensation of heat and pain. In addition to providing inflammatory relief, piperine may act as an analgesic by modulating TRPV1 activity to influence pain perception.
Piperine can enhance nutrient absorption and improve the bioavailability of some vitamins and minerals by inhibiting enzymes that metabolize nutrients in the digestive tract. Turmeric often has poor absorption alone, but taking black pepper and turmeric together can circumvent this issue. Black pepper extract and turmeric possess antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties that synergize when taken together to deliver superior results. Black pepper extract can also enhance the absorption of other supplements, including calcium, selenium, and green tea.
Black pepper is a popular spice used in everyday cuisine. As such, most people can take black pepper extract without experiencing adverse effects. However, high doses may cause nausea or upset stomach. Individuals with a black pepper allergy should not take black pepper extract. Black pepper extract may interact with certain medications, as it can enhance how the body absorbs and metabolizes them. Individuals taking medications or other supplements should consult a physician before starting any new supplement to avoid unwanted interactions.
