Piperine, also known as black pepper extract, is a natural active compound found in black pepper. Pepper is regarded as the "King of Spices," and its pungent aroma is derived from piperine; although it originated as an Eastern spice, it became popular in Europe at an early date. Legend has it that medieval European nations waged wars over pepper, as it was once as expensive as gold.
The U.S.-based company Sabinsa was the first to conduct in-depth research on and commercialize this natural plant-derived active ingredient. Its flagship patented ingredient, BioPerine®, is a black pepper extract containing at least 95% piperine.
BioPerine has been used as a bioavailability enhancer for over 20 years. When taken alongside other nutrients, it boosts their bioavailability.
Bioavailability is a key indicator of the extent to which the body absorbs and utilizes drugs or nutrients. Piperine enhances the permeability of the small intestine's epithelial cell membranes, thereby improving the absorption of nutrients such as Coenzyme Q10. Additionally, it inhibits enzymes like glucuronosyltransferase (UGT) to reduce nutrient excretion; this dual action-increasing intake while minimizing loss-effectively boosts bioavailability.

Piperine enhances the bioavailability of a wide range of nutrients, including water- and oil-soluble vitamins, vitamin complexes, botanical extracts, minerals, and other nutritional components.
Relevant human clinical trial:
A study compared the bioavailability of Coenzyme Q10 when taken alone versus in combination with BioPerine. After 21 days of supplementation, the combination with BioPerine increased plasma Coenzyme Q10 levels by 1.12 mg/L, whereas taking it alone resulted in an increase of 0.85 mg/L. Thus, combining it with BioPerine improved the absorption rate by 30% compared to taking Coenzyme Q10 alone.
Plain curcumin powder is difficult for the intestine to absorb due to poor water solubility, low stability, and rapid metabolism and excretion within the body. If consumed in its raw form, its active properties are not effectively transferred into the bloodstream, preventing it from producing significant therapeutic effects. 2. A clinical study conducted by St. John's Medical College in Bangalore, India, and published in the journal *Planta Medica*, provided clinical evidence that black pepper enhances the bioavailability of curcumin. This paper became one of the most downloaded articles in the journal.
BioPerine can increase the absorption rate of curcumin twentyfold; this health-promoting turmeric root extract is clinically proven to possess effective anti-inflammatory properties. Compared to taking curcumin alone (2000 mg), combining it with BioPerine (20 mg) enhances curcumin's bioavailability without causing any side effects.
