Black pepper extract that enhances absorption of many other supplements
We rank Piperine 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.
Piperine is a natural compound found in black pepper. It is the primary alkaloid, which is a type of nitrogen-based organic molecule, that gives black pepper its characteristic pungent taste.
It is primarily used as a bioavailability enhancer. This means it helps the body absorb other nutrients and supplements more effectively into the bloodstream, ensuring you get more value from the other vitamins or minerals you are taking.
To create the supplement, manufacturers use a process called solvent extraction. They soak black pepper in a chemical liquid to pull out the piperine, then evaporate the liquid to leave behind a concentrated powder. This powder is then put into capsules or mixed into other supplement blends.
This ingredient is generally mid-range in price. This is because while black pepper is a common crop, the industrial process required to isolate and concentrate the piperine into a pure extract adds a layer of manufacturing cost.
| Purpose | Typical studied dose | Evidence |
|---|---|---|
| increasing the efficacy of drugs with poor bioavailability | 20 mg per day | emerging |
| general human intervention studies | 4-40 mg per day | limited |
