Black Pepper Extract
Piper nigrum (Dried fruits)
Premium Black Pepper extract standardized for piperine content
Black Pepper Extract is derived from the dried fruits of Piper nigrum, standardized to contain precise levels of piperine—the bioactive compound responsible for black pepper's distinctive taste and bioenhancement properties. Available in both 5% and 95% piperine concentrations, our extract offers flexibility for different application needs. The 95% concentration is particularly valued as a bioavailability enhancer in nutritional formulations. Each batch is extracted using USP-grade ethanol and verified via HPLC analysis to ensure consistent potency.

Research & Studies
Black pepper extract has been extensively studied for its bioenhancement properties, with research demonstrating its ability to increase the absorption of various nutrients and botanical compounds by 30-2000%. Studies show that piperine inhibits certain metabolic enzymes and enhances permeability of the intestinal lining, allowing compounds to enter the bloodstream more efficiently. Research also supports its thermogenic, digestive, and anti-inflammatory benefits.
