Studies conducted by the company have found that black pepper extract standardized with piperine in its ingredient BioPerine increases the bioavailability of many nutrients, such as “amino acids, minerals, vitamins, herbal extracts such as curcuminoids, resveratrol and antioxidants,” among others, noted Dr. Pande. “Bioavailability of certain ingredients such as curcumin, resveratrol and green tea polyphenols is poor, which limits their therapeutic benefits; potential herbal extracts such as these can be made more bioavailable by use of BioPerine, which enhances absorption and reduces biotransformation in the body.”
