Piperine Powder is an alkaloid responsible for the pungency of black pepper, widely recognized for its role as a bioavailability enhancer. It works by inhibiting drug-metabolizing enzymes (CYP3A4) and P-glycoprotein, allowing other active compounds to be absorbed more efficiently.
Key physiological benefits:
Enhances absorption of curcumin, resveratrol, and other nutrients
Supports anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
May aid in weight management and metabolic regulation
Potential cognitive and mood benefits through neurotransmitter modulation
≥98% purity, tested by HPLC
Sourced from high-quality black pepper via solvent-free extraction
Low residual solvent, heavy metals, and microbial contamination
GMP, ISO, HACCP certified production
Large-scale, consistent supply with global export experience

Q: What is the use of piperine powder?
A: Piperine’s primary use is as a bioavailability enhancer. It helps your body absorb other nutrients and compounds more effectively. It is also studied for its own potential benefits in supporting metabolism, cognitive function, and digestive health.
Q: Is piperine just black pepper?
A: Essentially, yes. Piperine is the main bioactive compound that gives black pepper its pungent taste. Piperine powder is a concentrated extract of this compound, standardized for potency and effect.
Q: What does piperine do to the brain?
A: In the brain, piperine may:
Increase Brain-Derived Neurotrophic Factor (BDNF), a protein crucial for neuron health, learning, and memory.
Inhibit an enzyme that breaks down neurotransmitters like serotonin and dopamine, potentially elevating their levels and improving mood and cognitive function.
Q: What foods are high in piperine?
A: Black pepper is the only significant natural source of piperine. The amount varies but is generally between 2-9% of the pepper’s weight.
Q: How much piperine is safe per day?
A: A common and safe daily dosage is 5-20 mg of piperine. Doses up to 20 mg are generally well-tolerated. It is potent, so starting at the lower end of this range is advisable.
Q: What happens if I drink turmeric and black pepper every day?
A: This is a powerful combination. The piperine in black pepper can increase the absorption of curcumin (the active compound in turmeric) by up to 2000%. Daily consumption may significantly enhance turmeric’s anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects. It is generally safe for most people, but consult a healthcare provider before starting any long-term regimen, especially if you take medications, as piperine can affect how they are metabolized.
