Spice source of piperine, which boosts absorption of other nutrients
We rank Black Pepper by price per gram of active ingredient - not by pack size - so a bigger tub with a worse price per dose can't outrank a smaller one that's actually cheaper.
Black Pepper is a common kitchen spice that contains a natural active compound called piperine. This specific chemical is what gives the pepper its characteristic pungent heat and sharp taste.
It is primarily used in supplements to increase the bioavailability of other nutrients. Bioavailability refers to how much of a substance actually enters the bloodstream to be used by the body; piperine helps the body absorb other ingredients more effectively.
The supplement is produced by harvesting mature peppercorns, which are then dried and ground into a fine powder. This powder is then either put directly into capsules or mixed with other ingredients to create a blended supplement.
This ingredient sits in a mid-range price bracket. This is because while the raw peppercorns are widely available, the cost varies depending on the concentration of piperine extracted for the supplement.
